 Not bad, not great December 11, 2007

The 33 1/3 books are small format paperbacks, which each take a classic album, and present an essay on it. This book differs becuase the author simply interviews the album's creator.
This strategy isn't a bad one, but we don't really find out anything very interesting. The interviewer doesn't follow up on anything Shadow says, nor does he ask him any hard questions.
From a UK perspective, Shadow is a key trip hop artist, an influence on Four Tet and other electronic/dance acts. However, Shadow sees himself as a 100 per cent hip hop act, and he talks the hip hop talk. This allows him a kind of macho lack of self-awareness (and avoidance of any real thought) that I was longing to be challenged. The interviewer never does, and you can imagine him nodding along with Shadow.
That said, this is a lot better than some of the woeful books in this series.

there's many songs out there, for me, that dosnt grasp the feeling i want when it comes to relaxtion, however, without a doubt this is the best to relax to.
trip-hop at it's best.
close your eyes, lie back and lick your ice-cream on a sunny day. this is the soundtrack for relaxation.
stand out tracks for me, naplam brain scatter, challenging, the number song & building steam with a grain of salt.
5/5 all the way
Classic Hip-Hop Album Gets a Classic Book September 23, 2005

If you are a fan of Endtroducing - and if you don't, you should be - you need to buy this book, which reveals amazing insights into how Josh Davis, aka DJ Shadow, made his masterpiece. In an extended interview, Josh not only discusses how he came to became a sampler and turntablist supreme, but also what he was thinking about and how he was feeling when he put the album togther over the course of some years. With so little ever written about the man himself, this book is simply a godsend. DJ Shadow reveals himself to be an intense and humble individual as well as a true artist. It's an uplifting tale, and a must-read for not only fans of hip-hop, but anyone who considers him or herself a music lover.
