Yep yep! Listening to it third time through right now. Taken me a while to get it, my town hasn't got many decent music stores that I have found.
Lonely Soul is fucking excellence. Oh yes.

I really like it as well. it has a track that contains what could very well be the best thing jason newsted was ever a part of, heh.
anyway, it's definitely a fav of mine.

unkle is alright, definately not anything special. that song with mike d sucks for the most part because he just stole lyrics from songs hes already done with bboys throughout most of the song. i dont really care for chaos either and that ballbusters track just gets in the way of the music.

Oh well there's a bit of everything on there Murray. To quote Pitchfork: The record jumps all over the map; one minute you're listening to bottom-heavy big beat, the next you're swimming in the pool at old lady trip-hop's house. But despite Psyence Fiction's eclecticism, Shadow and Lavelle were able to maintain direction, creating a chilling excursion into a land of ethereal keyboard loops, dramatic string sections, and serious-ass rhythm assaults.
Basically sums it up.

i agree with that pitchfork thing somewhat, theyre are no rhythm assaults at all, nothing like dj shadow stuff on his other releases. the drums are so much more boring on this one but still pretty decent.

the strings in lonely souls, where everything stops and the strings start a new section. Amazing!

I hate this. Unkle sucks.
My rock loving friends like it though. Electric guitars and all.
It's basicly the money earning project of the mo-wax guys. They don't try to hide that fact.
Guess it's okay that they earn some money, too bad they have to release this to do it.

there are electric guitars on only a couple tracks, don't front. but you are right, dj shadow's always been dissatisfied with the album cos james lavelle made him collaborate with all these famous people. he enjoyed most of the collaborations (especially thom yorke since radiohead is his favorite band) but the only guest he actually picked was kool g rap. anyway, i think it's a phenomenal album.

Watch the "rabbit in your headlight" video here. Masterful video!! the exploding car at the end =) I recomend watching Tool's "Parabola" video too .
Like Titsworth i have never really stoped listening to "Psyence Fiction" since it came out.
Great album.

At first I have to say that this LP is kinda lame. I think DJ Shadows Style cant work in full effect under this wall of sound of Pop & Rock. I dont understand how you can actually like RIYH ?!? This Track is the Nightmare-Sellout-Track for DJ Shadow itself.
But other Tracks on hte UNKLE EP?s are very cool. Does anyone know the Track Sassafrass (Plaid Remix) ? This is sooo cool. Or Coffeeshop Conversation? These are some cool UNKLE. When the LP came out I was disappointed.
