Album Description:
DJ Shadow, a.k.a. Josh Davis, could be credited with bringing newfound introspection to the gloating sounds of hip-hop. Condensed with urban oscillations and scatological beats, Endtroducing shutters with eclectic samples and aural montages that reach beyond the constraints of hip-hop 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 used-record 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. Universal. 2004.

I bought this CD mostly because there are very few 5 star CD's anywhere on Amazon, so I thought this one must be spectacular, right? Wrong. It's a huge disappointment. Especially considering how good everyone makes it out to be. Where are the catchy bass lines or the driving drum beats? There aren't any. He's a DJ, yet you can't dance to any of the songs on this CD. If you played this at a party, or in the car on a crazy night out, you'd make everyone confused.
To give him credit, What Does ... Read More

Este es viejito, de 1996, pero se convierte en el mejor disco que tengo de éste género. Tarde en entrarle aunque ya había escuchado los rumores de los 10 dedos prodigios de DJ Shadow, también ya había oido que UNKLE sin él jamás sería igual (y me gusta el UNKLE actual). Es una selección de canciones originales que parece que fueron escritas para él, para ser puestos todos juntos y remezclados para sonar de ésta forma. Temas destacados? Todos! De principio a fin, hasta los sampleos que duran ... Read More

I just heard this album for the first time about a week ago. I came away very impressed. Not the typical type of music I listen to, but this takes some serious skill. Building Steam with a Grain of Salt is sick.

When Endtroducing came out, there was little if anything like it anywhere. It's hard to recapture that same feeling more than 10 years after the fact, but in my mind, this remains one of the top 50 innovative albums in music. Simply incredible turntablism.

I can sit here and write the best comments of this album. If you're here, you know why. No explanation needed. There has yet to be an album to dethrone Endtroducing as the best album I've ever heard. Some have challenged but to no avail. No one album has captured the essence of music quite like this album did for me during the spring of 1997.
This is the top of the mountain. Any other review I make will be a step down. There's a saying that you can only go south from the north pole. ... Read More
