Title: Now Approaching MIDNIGHT!
Review: DJ Shadow, along with Dan the Automator, Domino, and El Producto, is the foremost genius in a very select group of hip hop orchestrators. "Endroducing" is the masterpiece by Josh Davis which moves through fourteen tracks that are undeniably original and emotionally efficacious despite the absence of lyrics or any sort of theme/story. Apart from the definitive statement of "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96" ("It's the Money!") to a soulful futuristic funk groove, there is nothing tying the record together but sound motif and the listener's own inference. This proves to be more than enough. "Building Steam with a Grain of Salt" and "Midnight in a Perfect World" are the two greatest testaments to the success of the samplers that musicians were smashing apart years ago in resistance to disco and hip hop. Shadow solidifies the DJ and hip hop as a true and very praiseworthy art-form, if only his position were reversed with Trick Daddy!
