Reviews & Discussion
Midnite and Grain of Salt are my favorites, but the album is a bit unoriginal. This is a problem I have with all hip hop, but it is nice to hear something relaxing every now and then such as this. I like it overall. I think Josh Davis has a problem with moving on though. New material must be hard to come up with after his concept here.
Recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the first album created completely from samples, Endtroducing to this day remains one of my all-time favorite releases, one that I'll simply never get tired of hearing. DJ Shadow's production is incredible, as is his ability to create a soundscape that reflects so many different styles of music. Hip-hop, jazz, soul, rock, and ambient electronica seamlessly blended together into a musical masterpiece... a definite must-have, for anyone.
Some of the best hip-hop/experimental tunes from the other side of the world have been made by DJ Shadow. Cynical, dark yet captive and calm at the same time this is one of the best albums ever to be made in the US - part of its musical charm is that it is not too famous as it allows only a few dedicated music hunters to share a common interest.
Entroducing was the album that introduced me to DJ Shadow, and what a great experience. He mixes and mashes up old records he has in his collection and may I add to the highest of perfection. To me he's one of the best trip hop artists since Portishead. This album is so different to what you have heard before. Tracks like the organ grinder are quite funky, and tunes like Midnight in a perfect world soothe you after a hard day at work. Gotta admire DJ Shadow's skills.
