Stripped (Daniel Ash album) explained
Stripped is Daniel Ash's fifth album and his first studio album since his 2002 release, Daniel Ash.[1] The album features reworkings of songs from his previous work with bands Bauhaus, Tones on Tail and Love and Rockets, as well as one original track.[1] [2]
Background
Daniel Ash had originally intended to release an album of some of his older work stripped down acoustically, but later decided that the idea was boring.[3] [4] Ash taught himself how to use Logic Pro and stripped down the songs electronically, then rebuilt them with elements of EDM, including dubstep, as well as elements of reggae.[1] [2] [3] [4] In 2014 he funded the album on PledgeMusic and asked fans to select the songs to be included on the album, which was released later that year by GO! Studio.[2] [4] The album was also reissued in 2016 by MVD Entertainment Group and Main Man Records.[5]
