Today, we are tearing apart this string—every dash, every acronym—to explain why the 2000 RLG pressing of Voodoo in FLAC format remains the definitive way to experience D’Angelo’s masterpiece.

D'Angelo's (released January 25, 2000) is widely considered a neo-soul masterpiece and a "creative milestone" for its genre. Recorded primarily at Electric Lady Studios between 1997 and 1999, the album marked a significant shift from his debut, Brown Sugar , by moving toward a loose, groove-heavy funk sound.
