This morning while waiting for my coffee to finish brewing, I was going thru a cd holder and came across DJ Shadows 2nd release...And I decided to give it a listen again...
Now I know its NO Entroducing...but I am really groovin...Tracks like Fixed Income, Giving Up The Ghost, Six Days, Meets His Maker etc....These are prime DJ Shadow...I would recommend to anyone who hasnt listened to this album in awhile to stroll down memory lane with me...I would hate to see this album forgotten among others...=)
Cheers!!

I hardly listen to this album but it is fantastic, broader than any other instrumental hip-hop I've heard. I can, however, relate to the haters of this album. Many people were expecting something more strictly hip-hop, as was I, and what we got was sort of disappointing in the way it didn't have a Building Steam With a Grain of Salt, it didn't have a Midnight In a Perfect World or whatever.. it doesn't really have anything with that kind of energy to me (except maybe 'You Can't Go Home Again'). If he gets his act together a little, we could have another flawless classic right round the corner.

hehe, well endtroducing just seems a bit, I don't know, lacking to me... whereas The Private Press has phat beats man, PHAT BEATS!! And killer production... I mean, You Can't Go Home Again is like one of the best sample based songs I've heard... I don't know, it just sounds better to my ears... although Endtroducing is real good!! :)

I thought private press was better than endtroducing personally, it's a shame that 'right thing' and 'Monosylabik' made the cut, these two tracks are purely shite IMO and taint an otherwise awesome album...

I can't believe what I'm hearing...
You're both WRONG WRONG WRONG.
How is Endtroducing..... 'lacking'? It has the whole package baby. Absolute quality end to end. The Private Press IS good don't get me wrong, but there are so many uncertain moments spread across the album it just puts me off sometimes.

Shocking ain't it!?
It wasn't just a recent thing neither, i've been monitoring your opinions for months, it's always seemed that our tastes have overlapped.
Still, at least we both STILL do love DJ Shadow :)

i listened to it earlier this week or later last week or something
i never used to like it that much. like i thought it had some quality tracks, but was generally quite wack.
but when i checked it out not too long ago i was pleasantly surprised. i found myself thouroughly enjoying all the tracks.
it might have been the drugs, but i doubt it. this was good stuff.
i think i'll listen to it again soon.
still comes no where near endtroducing though ;)

off course you saw it... you live in australia... most of the only japan relases get to australia as well (singles collection 51/13 is an example)
I apreciate your interest... but I guess I couldnt afford the shipping costs right now... maybe in some months I ll ask you to do that

great album... haven't listened to it in a while, but I have it here with me in school and I plan on listening to it now in a few minutes when I go get something to eat... I think this album is better then Endtroducing because: 1. It sounds a lot cleaner, and the production is better... 2. The beats are phatter... and it's all about the phat beats yo!! 3. It has more variety... all the tracks are pretty different, and cover a lot of styles... plus, there is a real 80's feel to it, which I just love!

I've managed to hear a bit of "The Private Press" but nothing seemes to stick like "changeling**transmission1" or "midnight in a perfect world" from endtroducing... that stuff is just timeless I tell ya!
maybe if I listened to it a bit more it might grow on me?
