In my mind shadows tracks have the same element of "care" (for lack of a better word) as do the likes of masters such as Simon Posford / OTT and Hybrid.
The tracks these guys have released stands the test of time for good production, effect it has on the audience.
Also, the above artists go above and beyond their genre, they're a bit avant garde...which is why i like shadow so much, he's not some try hard sticking to tried and tested bullshit; he's doing his own thing.
There's fuckloads of binary, mechanical, shit psy, just as there is a fuckload of binary "dub" and "chill" - but Sphongle and OTT stand out, head and shoulders above the rest.
Same with Hybrids production : the pads, detail, arrangement, they don't just make "phat as" tracks that last two months....
Thats what I'm trying to say, not being "normal" and going above and beyond your genres "limits" and creating something unique that touches you emotionally......
Oh, and one last thing,
don't tell me Shadow hasn't hit the liquid and shrooms in his early years!
^^Word to that. Well said
Didn't know there was many Ott/Shpongle heads out there... fully stands the test of time still listen to them both all the time

It's at The Forum and Daddy G from Massive Attack is also playing
I highly doubt he'll come back and do a repeat performance of his gig at The Palace
I reckon it's gonna be wicked
fair call about Josh not repeating the Palace gig. u reckon he'll do somethign a bit more like the early foum gigs?
I saw Daddy G a few years back and DJ Numark cleaned up the dance floor with him.
respect where its due, Shadow has made some amazing music. would love to have seen him do live vocals on that cut off the private press
I reckon it'll be alot closer to his Forum show than his Palace show. The Palace gig was to showcase the new album and therefore his set was mostly made up of tracks from The Outsider.
anyway, I've secured my tickets and I'm sure it's gonna be a wicked show
