'Endtroducing.....' by DJ Shadow
I don't know what to say about DJ Shadow. In 1996 Endtroducing came out. Guinness cites it as the first ever album entirely recorded from samples. But I didn't know that at the time. I was in grade school and played Diablo at my friends house on some days. And my friend had older brothers who shared the family PC and played this for me
I couldn't stop listening. Years later I came to understand that track was a remix. The original album is on YouTube
Endtroducing was reissued and remastered from DJ Shadow's original DAT tapes for the album's 25th anniversary. And next year will be 30 years since this album first made history. Just like the records he samples DJ Shadow continues to influence current and future generations with his talent. It's a seminal classic from a true artist.
