DJ Shadow
Endtroducing 2LP

You know that really impressionable period in your life where you don't really know anything about anything, and you meet a bunch of cool people and they introduce you to a bunch of bands, movies, concepts, etc that you take as gospel, and you're really excited because you look around and are like "this is the golden age of me! Everything is new and exciting!" During this fertile time for me (AKA "college"), I heard the Portishead, Let Us Play!, and Endtroducing albums for the first time and, collectively, they BLEW MY MIND. I admit, this was a corny time for me (snowboarder pants + eyebrow piercing = ugh), but if I hear these albums I'll still bliss out idiotically to them. Fortunately, they're all watersheds of mid/late 90s electronic music production, and have dated well. The full length that established DJ Shadow as "the Jimi Hendrix of the sampler" (what does that even mean) is still an eminently impressive production debut, almost 10 years later. Everyone knows it was made entirely out of samples, but at the core of this album, each track transcends beyond this limitation and becomes something truly new, making it a desert island pick. OK, enough blowjobbing already, here are the songs: "Building Steam With a Grain of Salt(1)" has a crazy drum breakdown, "Number Song(2)" is based off a Metallica sample, "Changeling(3)" is in like 3/7 time, "Midnight In a Perfect World(4)" is a genre-defining masterstroke, and "What Does Your Soul Look Like Pt 1(5)" is the elegant capstone on the whole affair. If you were to ask me if this album is a must-own, I would stamp my fist into an open palm and screech "Yessssss!" 12 tracks total.

Unkle
Hold My Hand (Radio Slave Remix) 12"

Woah, is this what UNKLE sounds like now? I admit, like most people I gave Mr. Lavelle and his rotating cast up for dead after that last album, but... this is pretty sick! "Hold My Hand(1)" features Lavelle on vocals and stoner rock pioneers Chris Goss and Josh Homme on the big, droning guitars. Shoegaze meets Bowie meets dramatic soundtrack for a movie set in the desert? Pretty close anyway. Flip it over for Radio Slave’s mix of UNKLE's last single, "Burn My Shadow(2)," which places the original's vocals (from The Cult's Ian Astbury!) over a typically minimal, deep house-y beat. A-side plays at 45; B-side at 33.

Unkle
Psyence Fiction 2LP

The second UNKLE project LP. A victim of the hyped to hell syndrome, we offer it a second chance. An obvious attempt at crossover with strange guest choices (Thom Yorke, Richard Ashcroft, Mike D, Kool G Rap, Alice Temple, Badly Drawn Boy, Atlantique), this effort was slap in da face to those MoWax fans expecting the smoky instrumental sounds of "Time Has Come." Many parts seem a little forced, but some moments are what Id expect from the duo of Lavelle and Shadow. It seems that they were trying to apply their ideas to new formats. "Rabbit in Your Headlights" is actually a pretty epic track (if you like the vocals). The equally mellow "Chaos" is a nicely produced female vocal track for listening to when none of the dudes are around. For the old UNKLE drum sound Lavelle and Shadow deliver on "Unreal and Guns Blazing." Plus, many production nuances that Shadow fans will pick up on and imitate. Stay away from side C, it blows. Whats up with the Beastie Boys recent terrible rhyming anyway? Although there are moments where their explorations work, sadly, the album as a whole fails to move me. As usual for recent MoWax releases, excellent 2LP Futura gatefold saves the day.

V/A
Original Sources (DJ Shadow) EP

Firstly, this isn't a DJ Shadow or MoWax record (it doesn't claim to be). Rather, it's a well executed compilation of samples used by DJ Shadow. It's arranged like a battle / breaks record with looped breaks, isolated samples, and extended snippets. Bonus points for the original photography inspired by B+'s Endtroducing cover. Limited edition.
