Endtroducing...

Available again on double 180 Gram vinyl with download All time classic record DJ Shadow aka Josh Davis could be credited with bringing newfound introspection to the gloating sounds of hiphop Condensed with urban oscillations and scatological beats 1996's 'Endtroducing' shutters with eclectic samples and aural montages that reach beyond the constraints of hiphop style Enhancing the mix with fundamentals of rock soul funk ambient and jazz the modern fusions fail to go unnoticed even by the casual listener while most of the tracks are compiled by layering samples from vinyl treasures found in usedrecord bins the production quality of the mosaic is unmatched darkened melodies carry throughout the album with its eye on the end of the tunnel The narration samples come from numerous sources and keep the listener involved and waiting for resolution with a message as fragmentary as an overheard conversation 'Endtroducing' conveys no apparent conclusion but begs the mind body and soul for some rewind
