The metal-leaning label Magnetic Eye has a long-running series called Redux, in which tons of different underground artists pay homage to titans of the form. Yesterday, Magnetic Eye release two Ramones tribute albums, both of which were curated by the Italian-Swiss audio engineer Marc Urselli. One of the compilations is entirely dedicated to the Ramones’ classic 1976 self-titled debut, and the other includes a bunch of tracks from across the band’s career. The two albums contain tons of surprising one-off collaborations, and the most surprising of them might be the team of grindcore pioneers Napalm Death and Sonic Youth pioneer Thurston Moore.
