I agree completely. This album is a must have for all fans of
sample-based music and hip-hop in general. MoWax did an excellent job of
signing this SF based DJ. Props to Lavelle for his good intuition and to
the man himself, the Shadow, for bringing us this piece of art. If you
are familiar with the "What does your Soul Look Like" single, then this is
sort of an excursion from that; the album is more reminiscent of a
complete picture (which the single was too, but this picture is bigger!).
Give it a listen or 5 and then tell me I'm wrong.....
