DJ Shadow : Endtroducing...  
Genre: Rap Dates: 1996-1997

Cali kid raids used record stores for obscure beats, weird sound effects, spoken-word tracks, and music instruction records, then creates a turntablist opera of great humor, fascinating rhythm...and deep feeling. One of a kind, and required listening for anyone with Cool Edit Pro or Fruity Loops. (Note: This is one "Deluxe Edition" where the extra tracks are actually…interesting.)
