This is one of the greatest moments in the history of contemporary music. And it has little to do with the undoubtful influence of the record. Apart from that, "Endtroducing..." is simply perfect, right from the beginning to the gorgeous end.

I know "Endtroducing..." almost by heart but it never fails to impress me. It all started when I heard "Midnight In A Perfect World" (probably my favourite Shadow track ever), which almost brought tears into my eyes. The whole album devastated me. Its crushy beats and grand samples still give me shivers I expect from music. Its a total masterpiece, cult classic, essential and absolutely immortal. Havent heard it yet? I dont think so, but if yes - buy a copy immadietaly.
