I really want the Ray of Light Remix album to come to streaming.  It was extremely rare and it was a lot like the American Life EP (many songs, even non-singles) that is going to come out next month on vinyl. I prat that we get that too.

The "Veronica Electronica" remix album? That project was never completed and there were no promo CDs or anything, right?

I guess that I could be thinking of the GHV2 remix album but I am almost sure that Ray of Light had one.  It had a collection of 6 or 8 songs from the album remixed.  The cover was Ray of Light themed but no picture.

No such thing exists

The Veronica Electronica album was scrapped as she started working on Music. The plans were to release it at the end of 1998, but the album was still selling so it was pushed back to 1999 but by the end of that year she was already working on Music as she was already bored with the whole Ray Of Light project.

I adore those Luke Slater remixes, especially the super luper one. It would sound great on GTA. It's one of her most warehouse rave remix. It's only the Dallas Austin remix i don't like, it sounds too much like TLC's Unpretty.

I really like the POG mixes. Her worst single when we had most trash remixes from MDNA and Rebel Heart?

Thank you! In the late 90s I was tapping a lot into rave and industrial. So the POG mixes were and are right up my alley.

Remixes have gone down industry wide.  Same old thing every time.  They butcher the songs and rake out everything special.

I'm still trying to understand what happened there, the Slater filtered mix is such a departure from anything she had ever done - and so opposite to NRM and it's light uplifting dance floor filling beats.

To be fair, I found many of the remixes made for Madame X to be quite good

Specifically the "I Rise" remixes.  I can't get enough of them.  Also, I prefer some if not most of the mixes of IDSIF and Medillin more than the original versions.

I actually thought the MDNA were really good, especially the GGW ones.  I took issue with the remixes from Rebel Heart especially for Ghosttown because the way they slowed down the vocals just doesn't set with me well. It literally makes me feel dizzy hearing them.  But then again,  there was some cool production done on that song's remixes beyond the treatment of the vocals.

I can 100% see Veronica Electronically happening. It’s one of those things that was probably sketched out on paper and chatted about and worked on but never finalised. It would take very little to finalise a package of remixes, an outake from the sessions and simply a title as per the American Life RSD. 
In fact if we got a remix album for each album I would not be mad at all.

I am pretty sure the plan with it originally was to do entirely new remixes with Orbit especially for it. So it would presumably have included some of the songs that were never singles. I have read that one of the other reasons it didn’t happen was because Orbit was preoccupied.

I do like your idea to resurrect the title though with existing remixes.

That kind of makes sense - there were no remixes by Orbit after the Ray of Light single if I'm not mistaken.

Not doubting "entirely new remixes", but I thought the reason she was thinking of doing it was because when they were in the studio, the songs were much longer mixes, and she was interested in releasing them?  If I recall, she said in an interview once, speaking of this, ROL the song was originally 12 minutes long. 

But I like the idea of her going ahead and releasing this.  I had thought it would be an awesome new release she could curate.  But I'd hope she'd bring Orbit back in the loop for it.

after the ray of light single we got

Drowned World/Substitute for Love as the 3rd single with the gorgeous 9 minute BT & Sasha's Ashram remix and Sky Fits Heaven" (Sasha remix) Sky Fits Heaven" (Victor Calderone remix edit) as the B-sides

4th single was TPOG and had remixes by Dallas Austin, Luke Slater and Fabien Waltmann

5th single was NRM and had remixes by Club 69, Kruder & Dorfmeister and Talvin Singh

I'm so sad that Orbit didn't do any remixes for The Power of Good-Bye.  I would have enjoyed a remix package including Orbit, Sasha, and Victor Calderone much more than what we got.  The unreleased Junior Vasquez mix was terrible too.

did Orbit do any remixes for Music or MDNA?

For "Music" I don't think so, he was already very busy working with almost everyone else - after "Ray Of Light" he became one of the hottest producers in pop music for a couple of years.

For "MDNA", officially released he did the Acoustic Version of "Love Spent", which basically is a stripped down remix of the original. He also uploaded on SoundCloud some alternative mixes/remixes of "Some Girls" and "Gang Bang", I think, but those were never official or approved by Madonna... just his mixes. That was April-May 2012, I think. He was getting quite a lot of social media attention for talking about he was not happy with the way "MDNA" was handled, promotion, etc. so he uploaded some alternative mixes of songs of the album to feed that attention...
