Hope this is as good as previous albums.
unless its as good as his first I won't be bothering.
Giving it a try. Heard one track on Zane Lowe one evening a while back and didn't really get it/enjoy it, but it has started well...
I Gotta Rokk EP is good IMHO, and I like lots of his work (I have 39 albums [complications]...), though he got some much varied stuff, I've yet to listen to it all.
UNKLE has some stuff out soon as well, [Mr Burns voice]EXCELLENT[/Mr. Burns voice]
..Liking track 1 & 2 so far...!
First two albums were decent, the last one I heard was whack.
He was good when I saw him live in Toronto though, a few years back.
good show on 6 music listen again at present about the music that enspires endtroducing, love the first two albums but the outsider left me cold and I haven't listened to it since about a week after it came out.
must have a listen later
Saw him live recently in Cardiff - he was good but loud...
I've already got it 8)
I am looking forward to it, I have not heard any of the tracks yet but, even if it is not his best, a bad DJ Shadow album is better than 99% of the pish that is being trotted out by other artists at present.
Depends which album. Liked UNKLE and some other bits, was absolutely blown away by Brainfreeze, but some other stuff didn't impress.
I'm not really a fan as such but I'm looking forward to having a listen..
Entroducing is one of the best albums of all time. Second album was ok, nothing special. I won't get my hopes up for this, but will have a listen.
[i]UNKLE has some stuff out soon as well, [Mr Burns voice]EXCELLENT[/Mr. Burns voice] [/i]
Tell me more z1ppy
I have seen UNKLE live 5 or 6 times already but would happily see them again and new material is usually followed by a tour.
Liking that!
Haven't listened to him since the likes of Organ Donor/Midnight in a Perfect world, think I may well be tempted to get this.
Mister P they release the EP "Only The Lonely" and for some reason I had the idea an (or found info I can't now) that a new album would follow..
As said Endtroducing is superb, don't know his 2nd album at all and was bitterly disappointed by The Outsider apart from a track or two. So not anticipating any great rush to hear it.
Always interested in new UNKLE stuff though. Went in a pub last night with an open mike thing on a there was a vocalist/acoustic guitar/drums doing F.E.A.R. - very surprised and impressed.
cheer Dezb, I had thought it wasn't out till october.. 😈
I have a very very good 1hr shadow mix - either done by him or someone else (no credits on the mp3 tags). I can sent it to people if they wish...
any love for

endtroducing takes me back to a personally special time and place in the world. it's unfair on dj s to expect him to do that twice in his career.
but i'll give it a listen anyway 8)
Endtroducing was revolutionary and IMO impossible to better. Always willing to give his new stuff a listen, the last ep has some good moments, wasn't keen on the male vocalist though.
The Brainfreeze Mix was pretty good too.
Xiphon, email in profile. Would appreciate if I could have a listen.
Saw him about ten years ago supporting radiohead. Good set!
xiphon ygm..

I'm sending the shadow mix to z1ppy (via sendspace) - taking about 20mins to upload.
If z1ppy could send it onto althepal, and so on, that would be ace. (I'm at work, waiting for it to finish before I can leave 🙂 )
It doesn't get any better than this. Pure magic.
Thanks for the heads-up, I really enjoyed that! Much better than The Outsider, although he did say on Radio 6 the other day that it was a very personal album for him, so I guess he wasn't bothered about critical acclaim.
I thought The Outsider was excellent. Not a seminal alblum like endtroducing but that was never gonna happen.
His interview (part 1) on 6music on sunday was pretty interesting as well. Part 2 this weekend i think
Oh the drums....
I am technically inept.
endtorducing is one of the best albums ever
i still quite like pre-emptive strike and private press, his work with unkle was awesome too
outsider was a miss for me but the new one sounds good!
Have a dig around quannum project. I think thats some of his best stuff since entroducing. Just don't expect those drums.
Harris you just missed off a / from in front of the word video at the end of the link (within the brackets).
Cheers again Xiphon for the mix mp3
I'm enjoying so far, will definitely be getting it. Oh and thanks for the mix.
ta for the mix too. looking forward to it.
good man!
Glad you all enjoyed the mix. No idea who actually did it though!
I thought Private Press was some of his best stuff after Endtro..
all these posts, they only DJ Shadow track worth a listen 😀
The ONLY one?
gedouttahere!
Endtroducing is a cracking album and I really enjoyed Private Press as well. The Outsider had a couple of decent tracks but thats as far as it went. New work sounds good though, from what I have heard. Will probably make a purchase. He did a "Live from the Shadowsphere" gig up here a couple of months ago and a friend gave me tickets but the evil people at work wouldn't give me the time off to go 😡
Personally I like his work with DJ Krush the most:
And this, also with Krush, is one of my all time favorite tracks:
pretty much DezB 8)
not a massive shadow fan
any love for Money Mark - Marks Keyboard Repair ?
Aye...he's also guesting on Boom Bip's new album.
"DJ Krush - Code 4019" is an amazing album too...
I think I will dig DJ Krush - Meiso out tonight. Thanks for the reminder about him.
Endtroducing was great, as is gdmfsod
I've an MP3 somewhere of him doing a live mix just featuring his stuff, think it was around the time private press came out which is ****ing amazing
Google Vid - DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist - Product Placement (All 7" Mix)

I'm just having another listen to his set from Rock Ness..

If we're doing other vids then...
Nina Kate *flaps face* OMG *considers tattoos, realises is too chicken*
Diminishing Returns is a brilliant Album, the 2nd disc in particular. Think is a radio 1 session.
Also worth checking out from DJ Krush is the album he did with Toshinori Kondo, Ki Oku. Trip Hop Ambient Zen Jazz, very chilled.
Shadows hew Albums not bad at all either, starting to grow on me.
Influx though that's the one for me, love that track.
[i]If we're doing other vids then...[/i]
Going to see him in a few weeks 🙂
Quick update on this thread.
The Less You Know The Better - what a cracking album.
Two not so great tunes ( 3 and 12 ) but the others are very good.
That is all.................. 🙂
Ooo.
*rubs hands together in anticipation*
