Wonderful sound, deep and boomy but perfectly captures the atmosphere of this amazing album, -
Great press and considered a classic Hop Hop and indeed a timeless classic and must have to a basic hip hop collection. -
Still definitely happy to have this...but having listened to the digital for years, I’m still surprised...no What Does Your Soul Look Like 4? That’s my favorite track off the album 🙁

"...DJ Shadow is the Jimi Hendrix or Jimmy Page of the Sampler"
-NME I think the Phil Collins era Genesis of the sampler would have been more accurate. -
Album cover is a pic from inside "Records Records" in Sac, CA. Alas the building is no more last time I visited a few mos back. It was a funky/weird shop for sure. -
Edited 11 years agoEssential, if you don't own this then you are clearly missing out on a gem. -
