At the time, DJ culture meant something entirely different than what it means today, and in the mid-1990s, acts like Aphex Twin and Massive Attack and even Mo'Wax recrods had felt like a distant British thing, even though I loved them all. You literally had to go to the record store and find the imports, but they were there, and they were amazing for a 15 year-old kid. But growing up in Northern California, Entroducing..... felt like ours. It changed the musical landscape in so many ways and made a gigantic leap forward in the way sampled production could sound. It paved the way for other bedroom DJs but also created a sound so lush and seemless that it felt like a greatest hits mixtape more than a one-artist album. Nothing has ever quite sounded like it before or after. . And the cover exemplifies "digging in the crates," so to speak, looking for those hidden gems to sample and mix-in. Shot by B+ (@bpleasel) with design by Ben Drury (@trustmelondon), the cover features Solesides crew members Tom Shimura (Asia Born) and Xavier Mosley (Chief Xcel), fellow DJs, looking for records in the basement of the Sacramento vinyl shop, Rare Records. B+ would note he shot the famous cover with a Fuji 617 camera, manual focus, and only shot one roll that day. That blur is so esential, and B+ would say that he and DJ Shadow believed in the "power of mistakes." The perfect accident, perfect action. . Many of us who buy vinyl, hell many of us who bought used CDs, know that feeling. The search, the solitary-but-with-your-friends quest to get those albums that you always had searched for. For my friends, those digs would define our weekends, and the music would define our youth. Entroducing.... is the sound of exploration and experimentation, of combining everything you like into one masterful trip-hop sound. Itreminds us that looking for that perfect album is still a treasure hunt worth taking. (—@epricco) #juxtapozsoundandvision」6月3日 1時01分
