An excellent reissue on 180gm, well worth getting, probably Madonna at her best IMO. I purchased it at the Heathrow airport on Mini-Disc on our way to Bali on holiday(1998), first day on the beach I laid back on the lounger in the warm with the sound of the sea and a hot breeze blowing over my body, I popped Ray Of Light on and closed my eyes and listened, I was totally blown away by the compositions, lyrically and musically, a wonderful moment, and this album has always been there with me ever since.

Some of it will be down to producer William Orbit - he does know how to put some bass into his productions, our BillyI'm back!!!

Check out (if you can) "Spirit" by cellist/vocalist Caroline Lavelle, another of his productions, and you'll hear what I mean, as will your neighbours...
Not that Madonna needs William Orbit to sound good - she is my guilty pleasure. I think I have all her studio albums, sadly mostly on CD though.
