When I heard this EP, it turned a lot of things around for me musically.
I'd always loved rap/hip hop alongside a love for many other genres and the melting pot mentality that Shadow employs for his early tracks encompassed so many elements that I love about music.
The sheer emotion that he manged to get into these 4 tracks using only borrowed music is one of immense skill, ear and patience. Everything sits together perfectly and the sax solo in the breakdown is a very special musical moment.

Definitely one of my desert island discs.
