    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.

      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

      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

      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.

      "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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...

    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.
