1.Endtroducing..... by: DJ Shadow March 25, 2002

I first got into electronic music a while ago, and frankly couldnt have asked for a better induction. I was recomended this by a friend when I said I liked the electronic stuff on Kid A and he told me that most of it was influenced by this man. He was right, Shadow is a genius. His skill with a drum machine is matched only by his skill with a sampler and his talent for mixing, perfectly capturing an ever shifting mood with changes of tempo, time signature, key, instruments and genre. Its all captured here, like a beautifully preserved insect in a peice of amber. Jazz, soul, blues, and that ever present loaded-gun backbeat, tying every interesting sample and gorgeous melody together into an amazingly cohesive journey of beats. It ... Read More:

2.The Private Press by: DJ Shadow August 25, 2003

I probably should have done this review earlier, but it just seems the right time to get people to listen to properly GOOD music (dance music seems to have gone down the drain a bit). Josh Davis has come up with another winner here, in a sense that this album is quite removed from Endtroducing. As reviewers have said already (and i agree), this is a more "song"-orientated album, allowing you to skip to a favourite song, whereas endtroducing was more an album to listen through in one go. The reason i give it 4 (but 4 1/2 in my heart), is because of the two dud tracks slap bang in the middle of the album (namely 'Right thing' and' Monosylabik'). Definitely not DJ Shadow quality. This shouldn't detract anyone from the rest of the ... Read More:

3.General Patton Vs. the X-Ecutioners by: Mike Patton January 31, 2005

I bought this album because I like both the respective artistes involved. The prospect of a brilliant fusion of rap and metal is there..but it just does not gel very well in practice! They don't seem to meet each other on what should be common ground- crazy vocal sound bites from Patton should be looped ad infinitum over heavy beats, scratches and screaming guitars! But the music is pedestrian, vocals trite, and samples from films poorly chosen! Guess i'll just have to live with my imaginary version of this album. If only there was a remix album to save the venture..

4.Endtroducing... [Deluxe Edition] by: DJ Shadow June 06, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £5.01 (36%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.84
A melodic masterpiece, an emotional rollercoaster ride that allows all moods to be catered for. Tracks like 'organ donor' and 'midnight in a perfect world' grab the first time listener. Only after this early stage do the darker, more emotive songs develop for the purchaser, and the true colours of this record are truly portrayed. DJ Shadow can only be envied by DJ's and adored by fans. A definate neccesite as far as out-there records go.

5.The Litmus Test by: Cut Chemist June 28, 2004

Lead, Gold, Tin, Iron, Platinum, Zinc, when I rap you think. Iodine, Nitrate Activate. Like Geraninum, the only difference is I transmit sound! I love this album. Well worth the price I paid. Another triumph from the Cut Chemist.

6.The Document Vol.1: Compiled By DJ Andy Smith by: DJ Andy Smith May 18, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.39
This record starts off slow with a few laid back rap tracks, but soon reaches a level of cool funk which it doesn't let up till the end of the disc. Hip hop and techno tracks are mixed seemlessly with older gems like Tom Jones and Barry White to produce one amazingly cool album. The reason I was searching for Andy smith was to see if he'd made another album like this, cause I've had this one 3 years and it's one of my favorite albums.

7.Built from Scratch by: X-Ecutioners February 25, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.48
It's hard for me to review this as it's not really my genre of music - It's perhaps too 'DJey' for me - When it comes to hip hop, I'm more DMX or Public Enemy (showing my age!) The reason I bought this was for the excellent, It's Goin' Down featuring Mike Shinoda & Joe Hahn from Linkin Park - One of the best mixes of Rap and Metal to date, with a great, if simple, riff, a neat rap from Shinoda and lots of cool samples, scratches and spins. I had hoped, I'd find a couple more similiar tracks but alas, no - This is definiteley one for the hip hop crowd especially if they like the more 'instrumental' side of things, all the turntables etc but if you want the Metal side of it, then you will only find the one track -so it's up to you what you're willing to pay.

8.Camel Bobsled Race by: DJ Shadow June 02, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.98
This record is incredable, the finest turntablism i've heard. If you want conclusive proof that qbert is one of the greatest turntablists who has ever graced the decks then look no further than this record. If you own alot of shadows work dont think you dont need this , if you want to hear a completely new take on dj shadow buy this record-how ever hard it is to get hold of.

9.Pre-Emptive Strike by: DJ Shadow February 17, 2003

OK, yes, a few of these songs have been readily available on other releases. But that aside, I would go as far as to say that Preemptive Strike contains some of Shadow's greatest moments. As epic as Entroducing is, this collection pushes the envelope even further. What Does Your Soul Look Like part 2 is nothing short of vast in scale with its dramatic strings, crashing drums and mournful vocals. In contrast, part 3 is delicate and minimal, a meandering flute and tinkling piano taking centre stage. Every defining characteristic of Entroducing (delicate ambience, long patient pauses, impeccable drum breaks, slow, smoothly paced song dynamics) is taken that bit further in these songs. Despite being a collection of separately composed tracks, the album flows surprisingly ... Read More:

10.Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by: Kid Koala February 21, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £15.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.38
Its always the same - an album gets hyped to a stage that no artist can realistically match. Yeah, there may be comparisons with Shadow and RJD2 but those boys provided quality product over numerous tracks. At a little over half-an-hour long, with numerous vocal samples, you can't help but feel a little ripped-off when buying this 'album'. Its great in parts but a few more tracks, offering a truer showcase of Kid's skills, would've been a better reflection of this artist's abilities.
