Wow, I can't believe I missed this one. Thanks for the wakeup Renesis! This is a collection of songs by one of my all time favourite artists:
DJ Shadow - Stem/Long Stem
DJ Shadow - Organ Donor
DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World
All of these songs are off of his album
Entroducting... which is seriously one of the greatest albums ever recorded. There may be one or two other clips from other songs, but I listed the main three, and any others would all be found on this same album. If you ever want to listen to an album that will blow your mind away, pick this one up.
The entire album is comprised of short samples found on hundreds of records. There is not a single piece of originally recorded music - it is an absolute post-modern masterpiece! DJ Shadow is also truly my idol - he's the quintessential obsessive music fan and collector. A recent article I read on him said he has somewhere around 16,000 albums in his collection. He hired a full time assistant for a summer to create a database of each album, song, and potential sample. :shock:
If you like this stuff, also check out his newest album
Private Press, which in my opinon is much better. It is in my top 5 of all time favourite albums.
