[@9ner]

cannot imagine what it was like hearing this in '95. like some monolith dropped from space onto the hiphop community. really brilliant music, even the album cover exudes it.

[@kathryndogoloff5297]

It was the best memory making music for me back then wonderful memories dancing at the club's in D.C. until 2am then after hours with the boyfriend and a few others smoking a blunt and drinking a little beer relaxing in the hot tub on the roof of my apartment building

[@BugattiVeryonSS]

First time I ever listened was on Pandora around 08-09 and even then I felt like I was elevated to a new level of music. To only realize it was dated and a Dedue album. Crazy shit

[@patochan4876]

I was listening to this back in 95. I was living in MO, USA. Like every weekend, we would put this record on a turntable. Very strange things happened while listening to this. We were 18 or 19 at the time.

[@9ner]

@@patochan4876 it has that ominous post-cold war heaviness to it, similar to god speed's F#. what happened?

[@thewirah1]

"like some monolith dropped from space". Perfect metaphor for discovering Mo Wax back in the mid-90s. El-P did the same thing to me later.

[@laurentmarcoux2144]

when the main melody of part 2 comes in... there's no turning back

[@dillywillykins21492]

My brother was a dj throughout my childhood. He endtroduced me to Dj shadow because it was his favorite. My brother is my hero and unfortunately passed away last year. Dj shadow will always remind me of him. Rest in Peace Jerry, I love you big brother.

[@Ainttnoway]

some people will never understand the power this music possesses

[@karanbhargav6408]

Yeah true🤯

[@ericstrickland4357]

This dropped like a bomb in college back in 96. We all knew how special it was. The last part is the best. Masterpiece in hip hop production.

[@paulguzman1022]

I hope Dj Shadow knows how much this means to us.

[@nairnodrums]

This was my 90s. DJ Krush, Mo’ Wax records, James Lavelle and a shed load of seeing all of these folks live. What a time in music.

[@orgonsolo6291]

This is totally the best stuff he ever put out! Overlooked classic in the Endtroducing canon

[@orgonsolo6291]

Just had a moment again to this while I was out choppin wood... Just so freaking good!.

[@djtomoy]

For me the genius of early dj shadow if that it doesn’t sound like collage of samples, it sounds like all the parts were performed for the purpose of his tracks. Most other sample based music you can hear the seams, but dj shadow’s tracks everything blend perfectly, a lot of it reminds me more of 20th century classical composers like Philip Glass or Steve Reich than hip hop.

[@greentree75]

A seamless Shadow…

[@thpokemontrilogy]

probably the best instrumental hip hop tape ever released

[@chetrok1]

heart and soul of hip hop right here

[@invisibleboy3997]

DJ Shadow...What a great modern composer.

[@johnnavarre4588]

One of my favorite things about the album version is that it’s a single LP and the first side starts with Part 4 into Part 1 so it’s meant to be played in a recursive loop. Brilliant

[@mrjamescurry]

The Goosebumps haven’t left since 1996

[@vexed334]

My friend and I used to go on about how magnificent DJ Shadow was and his songs, RIP Ezana. His music will always bring me back to you

[@DuffyJ1111]

I was born in 1981 and I will die somewhere within these tracks in 1995.

[@MsMiika13]

Short change yourself.

[@cliftons.2722]

Had the good fortune to see him live. Couldn't believe the venue was only half full. Great talent. Love this post. Thanks Luciano.

[@EMursw]

After attending thousands of shows over the past 25yrs, Shadow still up there with some of my most memorable gigs

[@sahildoshi4438]

I saw him at Output 10 years ago in Brooklyn. Was phenomenal

[@hasearo7405]

I now understand everything..... and nothing.

[@sr20det6789]

the beauty of this album

[@TheMrZombified]

And so it goes.

[@lovehand9531]

I found some Alan Watts, and am playing it over this track. =]

[@misskittie2110]

And so then, to remember... and forget.

[@Abrothers12]

I don’t understand anything anymore

[@Beheadedable]

Listening to this since 1999 and still my favorite track of all time

[@WolfManJammer]

+Wee'um Bishop It's a timeless track in many respects. It has been the same for me.

[@amneziak]

I heard this for the first time in the late 90s and I remember being so floored that I put in on repeat while I slept that night. I could still listen to it every day...

[@sisteranonymous3585]

Amen. It is so beautiful....

[@pascalmoyal9151]

Same.

[@tonytony7225]

this is soul awakening music

[@gregmiller7169]

Personally believe that part 2 is one of the greatest beats in all of Hip Hop. Takes me on a journey every time, so deep and the sample before the drop about gambling is so true.

[@PerryCJamesUK]

Every time I put this on I am back in 1995 looking forward to the future, but aware of the threats that were coming our way. This music really sums that up to me. Anybody who doesn't like this, or at least acknowledge its brilliance can never truly be my friend.

[@remarkzero]

I can't recall when I started to listen to dj shadow, but when I heard pt 2, and really listened a few times through, I found that my mind could wander after a while of the repetitive beats and all I can say is I had an experience. This is what I put on in the dark and drift away to.

[@HowardSave1]

This will be my funeral song.

[@rodneydominguez1332]

just discovered today, and im in love with this mans craft

[@matycee]

better late than never... it's like, Chaucer. it's that important.

[@M00Nabove]

I came here for the 15:00 My phone is dieing so I attempted to revive my very old mobile I had back in 2006 as a temporary replacement. I found a new battery for it online and turned it on today. I found this as a ringtone on it, used Shazam to find out what it was. Now I'm floating backwards in time to 2000s when life was very very different. It is nearly midnight... This music coupled with the stillness of the night and cool night air carrying the scents of early summer flowers is magic I've been missing in my life for quite some time. Thank you for the upload.

[@jameswilkes451]

You can capture it again.

[@M00Nabove]

@@jameswilkes451 ❤️ Thank you! I probably should.

[@jameswilkes451]

@@M00Nabove To be fair I've been missing some special moments like that in my life this last year. I moved to a city and don't have the same level of connection with nature that I used to. I'm doing ok though and I know I'll get back out of the city centre eventually, but I wouldn't mind saving up for a car one day to go out on trips... money is a bit of an issue though

[@franchisecoppo4863]

Luciano you're a saint for posting all 4 versions together. My hard drive crashed with all of Shadows music.

[@Luchianopalma]

I'm glad i've been able to make someone so happy like me when i found the four parts :)

[@dee-jay-gee-bee7659]

Top man, Luciano, massive respect. Good effort with the annotations as well as up-ing as one soundscape. Ever since the mid 90s I'd always wondered what pts 2 & 3 were like (and if they even existed/had been released). Guess the tracks are so dreamy that I've only just woken from my slumber to find out!! That and Nobody Speak ft Run the Jewels has got me back on a Shadow tip...! ps. Franchise - that's why it's still crucial to do the old fashioned crate digging like the great man himself...

[@Luchianopalma]

Thanks a lot. I didn't know about Nobody Speak and the new album, now i've got some new shadow to hear. Sounds really cool, as always.

[@nopenothing9016]

It's not complete without the Bloodstain though...

[@TheYussef3]

Tripped acid alone, listening to this.. twice actually .. kinda irrelevant but nonetheless I never looked at life the same.

[@lovehand9531]

Have you experienced Terence McKenna? The Mushroom Speaks

[@Monty-or9sb]

Sounds relevant to me! And plenty others i'm sure. Pretty eye-opening stuff, both.

[@devanwiech]

Hell yeah. This music definitely takes you there.

[@Pelleministeri]

Im doing it tonight. Gathering some of the best albums and taking 200 mics. I hope it helps because im ruins. Don't fear the reaper.

[@rockyhernandez1284]

Sound very relevant to me those are the moments that change our lives 👁

[@JSHRXaos_Realm]

Freshman at college when this came out... feels like it was yesterday.

[@lumanchu3386]

Shadow evolved before he evolved. Mind painting gem🖤

[@musicwithmorals]

Always a highlight for me on on the LP. 97 working in a factory. Dreaming of not being there. Friday afternoons playing pitch and put. 17 with so many things about to happen to me I never knew. I digress. Just nabbed the vinyl. Never knew it existed!

[@UntitledKirk]

This is CRIMINALLY underrated DJ Shadow material!!!!!

[@azzgalvcastqualityassuranc4148]

Shadow's best work. Thank you.

[@niallsutherland8224]

Yes, absolutely - it’s magnificent.

[@MsZumoman]

I’ve worn my vinyl copy out from playing it so many times over the years. One of my first records too. Respect to the master.

[@xwraden]

the amount of work that was put in this, wit hall the annotations and shit is incredible! Thank You!

[@Luchianopalma]

+xwardeN Thanks, i first did it to myself, but i'm glad that you liked it :) (i forgot to put the lyrics in part I u.u)

[@moriellidenis7384]

9:06 the piano notes and the scratch .. so subtil ... killer!

[@catherineclark1745]

pure magic sound

[@drewm2763]

I may be late to the party but this is exceptional. Thank you for your skill. Love this, can't get enough

[@DJKryptonok]

Discovered this guy on MTVs 120 Minutes in '96. I've been a fan ever since.

[@nephimcknight5832]

All these years later, still the best and the one I listen to the most.

[@hellswrath8402]

timeless...

[@ericperry27]

Glory meet the Education of Sonny Carson, hanging out W Gladiator, Pink Floyd in the background mixed w John Coltrane & Splinter Cell1. Hint of Chili Peppers. In Memory of Billy Paul.

The best music from past time

Still one of my fav samples from the '83 movie Brainstorm.

Why can't I find the part where it says "Does anyone remember who I am?"
