Before Madvillainy became a hip-hop holy text, it existed as this: the rough demo version of MF DOOM and Madlib's collaboration, now on vinyl as Madvillainy Demos.

The story is part of the legend. An unfinished version of the album was stolen and leaked online more than a year before the finished record arrived in 2004, and the pair went back to work. DOOM answered with the slower, more relaxed flow fans know from the final album, which makes these earlier takes a fascinating look at a road not taken. Stones Throw has given the demos a proper home, with 14 tracks in a revised running order.

Here his delivery is quicker and more excitable, riding Madlib's dusty loops with a hungry energy. The set opens with the previously unreleased demos of "Do Not Fire!" and "Bistro," and familiar songs turn up in early form, including "One False Move," the sketch that grew into "Great Day." "Figaro" and "Rainbows" show how much of the album's off-kilter charm was there from the very start.

For anyone who has worn out the finished album, this is the essential companion, looser and rawer and full of small surprises. It's a rare chance to hear two masters sketching in real time.
