Its alright, but get Influx, Lost and Found and What Does Your Soul Look Like first as they are much better.

Thats all for now, but there is a six track Various Artists thing on the way containing lots of new people (or just Squarepusher pseudonyms!). Wafta is pretty good. Track 3 is my fave.

Didn't all the X-MIX CDs come out unmixed on vinyl? If so then the track should be available on there. Graham.

Besides, you'll get most of the good songs on Endtroducing on those singles anyway. What Does Your Soul Look Like is what Endtroducing wishes it was. I think DJ Shadow's going for an epic sound that he doesn't quite have a handle on yet, but it's worth keeping track of him. Endtroducing isn't an attempt to be any more commercial than his earlier stuff, per se, since he hasn't changed his formula at all. But that's the problem: by now, it's a formula. Huge live-sounding drums, lotsa cymbal crashes, recognizable samples and long empty parts with some guy reading poetry. One of these days he'll figure out exactly what it is he's trying to do, and then he'll expand his horizons. -Phil [----------] [---] [-----] [-----] [-----] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [----------] [----------] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [---] [--------] [-----] [-----] [---] [-----] [----------] Home is where the stereo is!

I bought the CD anyway, and I ain't mad for it. I loved it right away since I probably love Ntone and MoWax stuff directly. The CD is indeed very nice and brings a variation of nice chopped hip-hop beats, but also a trippy, almost ambeitn alike feeling on some tracks. It's obvious that this CD will be used as a relaxation CD (like my entire collection) because it makes me feel great. I didn't know previous stuff of DJ Shadow but I'm certainly going to check it out. I'm happy that I found another DJ with coldcut alike sounds and with sounds of which I immediatly say "this is it". One thing though, the suckin' package won't fit in my CD Rack ;) my opinion... BUY IT right away .%. WeeZ .%. WeeZeR@dma.be .%. MiNDVieW, rC & NeTFuNK!
