This song made me realize and fully understand the power of sampling. A lot of people look down on sampling like it's 'stealing'. Nah, it's using building blocks to create something unique. It's always been. And this track is a perfect example. Giving the opportunity to people to make music that they would've never made otherwise.
i'd never understand the distaste for amazing sampling in music. it's a wonderful form of art in hip hop. albums like donuts by j dilla or endtroducing like this example are some of the most critically acclaimed hip hop albums of all time.
Word Up!❤
@@felins2294 This distaste comes from people who listened to producers that were lazy. You know the ones that took a 16 bar chunk of a song and laid a beat on that and called it 'their own new song'. I get the frustration. Because sampling is not about that. The goal of sampling - to me - is taking already existing bits and pieces and going as far away as possible from their original context. Combine them, play with them, make them almost unrecognizable to make something completely new. There's nothing wrong with that. And to the listener - it's also a challenge to find where all those bits and pieces came from.
My analogy was to describe sampling in terms of visual art terminology as: sonic collage
@@shruggzdastr8-facedclownsonic collage...I like that idea.
timeless classic
Just fucking WOW
Yeah this is incredible
zero 7 and portishead?
Wasn't expecting to see you here😯
Go back to prepping
This song doesn't take me back....it takes me forward.
UMMFF
Niiice!
with your best foot?
So true bro.
Amen ✊
Anybody here in 2024 listening to this? I could listen to this entire album for hours on end. If you're here as of 2024 then I love you and I believe in you. And it gets better.
❤ Back atcha ❤️

I’m here..much love!
Just picked up this masterpiece on vinyl.
Humankind, we lost a beautiful soul this week. He introduced me to music of this kind. Friends like that are ones to keep. He passed due to a heroin overdose. RIP Billy.
Heroin strikes again 😢
Sorry bro. Sadly I know way to many people with the same story.
😊
@@kenosabi Times are painful and people seek some sort numbing. Look out for those close to you.
Rip 🙏
Just seeing this now but RIP Billy. Very sorry for your loss
This song came out in 1996 and it still sounds like the music of tomorrow.
That goes for whole album as well.
that's one of the most beautiful comments i've read in a while, bruv... hats off
Graham Jura it sounds like the mid 90s which is a great thing where the music was slow tempo with boom bap drums
+Graham Jura and it samples a song from 1974. Search for Pekka Pohjola - Sekoilu Seestyy (The Madness Subsides)
honestly it came out in 96 and it sounds like 90s hip hop and as somebody that was 19 years old in 1996 it was 90s hip hop heavy drums chopped up samples very 90s
RIP Marlena Shaw (1939-2024). You can hear the drum samples from her hit single “California Soul” used in “Midnight In a Perfect World”.
Wrong, the drum sample is from The Rotary Connection
I’m 50 now, was 24 when this came out and it still sounds just as f*ckin dope as it did then.
Snap
you witnessed incredible things in music in your 20s then
Amen
Damn we old 🤣
you have nostalgia. this sounds like crap today. We have mumble rap and auto tune.
Man this song takes me back... I was walking home after work and this song came up on the radio on my mp3 player. It was 1am, the air was still and cool, no cars in sight and only the street lights illuminated my path home. I just decided to sit down on a bench and take everything in.
The only way I can describe that moment was just total bliss
Yiannis Silver Nothing homo about apreciating good music and the memories it has left you with.
@Chief Fn
man i love that feeling! i was walking home from a party once, it was 2am and i was just a lil bit drunk... tycho came on shuffle on my ipod. i decided to take the long way home and listened to all of "dive" before i hit the hay. midnight walks are the best.
Takes me back to way before MP3!
bong iguana
Duuuuuuuuuuuude I love Tycho! Hours will always be my favourite song from that album! Great to see another Tycho listener! Cool experience too! :)
This was played at my best friends funeral. Thank you DJ Shadow🙏
who was your friend? may he/she rip. ameen
@Coast Smokin thats awesome buddy, they maybe gone, but not forgotten now everytime its played ;) just avoid floyd wish you were here, too sore even after 7yr, from experience.
Sorry for your loss
tyler4tado go kick rocks you troll😉
I want this played at mine as well. This song got me through tough times.. good times... boring times... shit this song has been with me since i first heard it well over 8 years ago.
This song helped me so much on those lonely bus rides home after my night shift.
Sometimes those lonely solitary travels at the twilight hour are the most beautiful but haunting...
@@TheHumanBallsack Sometimes
You may not know it, but there could be a '70s prog rock fan hiding right behind your eyes. Seek help, fun company and prog rock albums, and prospere. Love.
I play this after listening to Les Nuits by Nightmares on Wax at night
i can totally relate to this
All samples:
David Axelrod - The Human Abstract (1969) (the piano at 1:17)
Pekka Pohjola - The Madness Subsides (1975) (the synths at 0:08)
Baraka - Sower of Seeds (1976) (the vocals at 0:40)
Meredith Monk - Biography (1981) (that bass noise in the background at 1:10)
Akinyele - Outta State (1993) (the guitar at 3:40)
Organized Konfusion - Releasing Hypnotical Gas (1991) (the rapping that you hear at 0:00)
Meredith Monk - Dolmen Music (1981) (sampled three times in this song, the vocals at 0:13, 1:17, and 2:11)
Rotary Connection - Life Could (1968) (the drums at 0:26)
Sorry if I missed a few samples, as there are probably a lot of other samples in this song that I missed. This is only according to WhoSampled.
Thanks !
Top notch, every comment section needs someone like you.
THUMBS UP THIS MAN! (Also I tripped over the Pekka Pohjola track a few months ago--I was like 'wait, wait I know this hook...')
EditorialJoe pekka perkele!!!🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
thank you so much!
I think this is one of the rare songs that explains the song exactly to the title.
Danesty agreed!onomatopoetry? 😉
(Of the musical ilk maybe..)
Instrumental's hip-hop masterpiece
indeed
would say it's trip hop
technically falls under both genres
i would say spirit hop
I'd sum it up as vergangenheit hop
listening to this in 2020 with a joint in glasgow outside after it rained all day
Lucky you
Bitchn! I'm from the bay like dj shadow& I'm still listening in 2020 dabbing now! 😆 having a coffee speedball chaser. Dreaming of Scotland 🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌
Legend sir a fellow Glaswegian on the same level great times
Pretty sure I saw someone else post about a midnight trip in Glasgow 10 yrs ago....Deja vu bc I my memory doesn't fade me brav
Blaze on, brother. Much love from California, where weed is on every corner
I didn't discover this until 2002 and it was the beginning of a LONG wild life journey. This song has followed me the entire way and is one of the soundtracks to my life. I used to walk the streets of NYC, lonely listening to this in search of my purpose. I'm 45 and the happiest and fulfilled I've ever been. Bless up Yuh self!
This song needs to be sent out in space so extraterrestrials can hear it
If it's ever been broadcast on a radio, it already has!
One of the best comments I´ve red in a looong time! One love!
hmm try Unkle - I am sure they made contact
We might even show them what nostalgia is.
lol where u think it came from...
Possibly one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest albums ever made.
Definitely
Easy on
For sure
Fact.
Nice
How can something with no lyrics evoke so much emotion
That’s the power of music
I can agree I have so many good memories from skateboarding before this song.
@@brettbissett81 dude, i love skating with trip hop, makes the tricks so clean
Welcome to music, this is the end of songs
Music can convey what words cant, language is terribly limited, if you think about it for a second all sorts of sounds existed way before language ever came along.
Possibly my favourite track of all time
word
2nd for me after building steam with a grain of salt
This is one of those songs that fit greatly with nighttime driving. I don't know what it is, but it reminds me of wet city roads, shiny and illuminated by streetlights and neon bar signs.
Got here from a 90s triphop playlist. A lot of these seem to have female vocals or female vocal samples, possibly a staple of the genre.
Dude honestly I get you. I didn't think other people looked for stuff like that too. Where can I find this playlist?
+Commander23c Saaaame feeling :D
***** I thought I posted it, but it's gone now? Look up "'90s Trip Hop / Downtempo".
The playlist author is Mindcircus.
***** Yeah like I posted the link here, but it's... not here. Anti-Spam thingy?
so new york haha
Demented, crazy, beautiful. A dance record you cannot dance to, chilled music which unsettles you, people singing who aren't there...
Rare on point comment!
Amen. Perfectly explained.
Stan 59 I like it!
Keep up the free associative interpretations, (them’s my favorites) cuz they’re bold attempts to paint with words- that which falls short of honesty when we build prisons out of rational, expository logic...
Even when we earnestly seek to translate our experience of listening to music into some sort of widely accessible coherence, the power of poetic imagery, surrealism, irrational incoherence, etc. can paradoxically have the effect of producing a more honest, coherent, grounded picture of that otherwise deeply personal, and impossible to truly fully transmit, experience!
Whew! What a mouthful, heh...
(Ever sonde I recently began responding to people’s comments on music on RUclips, I end up waxing grandiose and sprawling with prosaic, possibly pedantic, always obnoxiously alliterative assertions about my own feelings which I share with those to whom I respond.
Your comments validate my own listening experiences 👍🏽
Hope you feel subsequently validated; connected to your fellow human audiophiles 😉
Stay human!
If you think this is demented, may I suggest MC 900 Ft. Jesus.
@@RobFieldFlorida I just looked at one of their songs, and I wasn't pleased...
Dear DJ Shadow, I don't know if you will ever read this, but I want you to know this is the number one song for meditation for me pretty much since this video came out. There are nights where I listen to this song over and over and over and over again. This is the song I want played during my eulogy. This is definitely the number one song I've listened to the most in my life, and I'm nowhere near done listening to it. And if there is one song that is definitely I'll turn my life in a positive way it is this one. DJ Shadow, I don't know if you'll ever be able to read this but please know you have altered my life, alter my reality permanently in a positive way. Thank you so much Wherever You Are💯
42 years old, been listening to this since I was 18..
I’m using this as part of my meditation as we speak!
Yo!
Word
Same
same here.
41 years old, been listening to this since I was 17..
Trip-hop is always amazing.
It's so distinctly 90s...most of the lofi hip hop beats that are popular today are all derived from trip hop but nowhere as organic and boundary pushing than OG trip hop was
I like listening to this on my way to school in the morning, just sitting in the bus and watching the world go by
i hope u still listent to this master piece, i do the same :)
Bla Blubb I do the same thing, I listen to it on the train going to work. Watching the world go by, escaping reality
where you at now bud, 4 years later?
Believe it or not, you are living the dream.
This was exactly me in 7th grade- 1997
0:13 For me, this vocal sample adds to the sacredness of this song. It's not noticeable, but I like it very much.
This song saved me from death. In Ireland, in 1999. Long live DJ Shadow. Josh FTW.
The first lyrics are "...the clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight".The last lyrics are "Now approaching midnight". That means damn near 24 hours had elapsed.
Harry Balzak Or we've gone back in time together thru this song.
I always thought it had to do with the doom clock
This is perfection.
More than perfection.
Masterpiece
...in a Midnight world
Masterpiece
When I first heard this song in 1996, I knew I'd still be listening to it 24 years later, but not through a *mobile telephone* during a global pandemic. Stay safe everyone ✌🏼
Global pandemic is a nice reason to listen to all album endtroducing
Well put.
merci, toi aussie.
Yeah exactly. Stay safe, don’t believe the flu was a global pandemic & don’t get injected with bullshit
It’s timeless
no joke..I used to listen to this at night and just stare out my window gazing at the stars. I’d try to imagine a perfect and peaceful world. Good times.
i took the trip of a life time when i was a teenager and went to japan for a week. one night in osaka at 1 am, while all my friend were drinking and messing around, i took a walk while listening to this album. i just remember trying my hardest to soak in all the neon lights and the city’s tranquility in as much as i could. so many memories associated with this album that i couldn’t even break down all of them. thank you shadow, you genuinely changed my life.
That sounds amazing! Definitley something I want to do now
I am incredibly lucky to have found this album. I always loved trip-hop and electronic music yet I had never heard of DJ Shadow. So, when my dad came home with Endtroducing on vinyl, which he found in his small hometown for 15 danish krones (2 euros), two years ago and gave it to me, I was going in completely blind. I have not been the same person since the first time I spun it.
Knowing that this song was made entirely of samples, this is a pretty ambitious attempt at a music video.
This song saved my life. I was so fortunate to tell him that face to face years ago. His gratitude for that statement was almost overwhelming to him.
This song is what my depression sounds like. It's such a bittersweet, but absolutely beautiful tune.
your depression/. you sure learned to own it
@@HDReMaster I beg your pardon?
@@Jess6000 you are depression
Beautiful
In 2002, I remember walking down the streets of New York City with this song on repeat. It was an unusually sticky summer day due to El Niño, 9/11 had just happened, the New Jersey Nets had lost for the four years straight from the LA lakers with Kobe and Shaq in the Finals, I was a young man who had just turned 20. I’m now at 42 AND I still listen to this song and remember and reminisce about those days 22 years ago.
I also still remember the smell of the streets of New York and the people I met and loved
20 years passed in a blink of an eye. Thank you Dj Shadow, for inspiring me in so many ways.
+Daniel Ramirez yes mate agreed - 20 years ago this track made me see more of life than any other moment - awesome days\times\music\memories
I used to chat with these cats back in the days.
They are from Aurora,ILLINOIS.
I’m from LA and I think we sent and exchanged cd’s.
This is pure hip hip!
Much love and respect!
Dear god, this makes me cry! One of the greatest songs of all time, surely.
Was lucky enough to be in college when this came out... late nights, new friends, new freedoms, and a great unknown... what a time to be alive. 20 years later and it still sounds timeless.
I experienced this album during community college. Even tho I just left college recently it will always remain with me.
That was well put man I felt it with you as I read it
The way the build crescendos at 2:10 followed by the perfect introduction of the strings along with that sorrowful tone drop in that ghostly vocal still remains one of the most beautiful musical events I have ever heard, and still sends shivers down my spine 25 years after I first heard it!
A true masterpiece. I wonder if in these times of Melodyne and Autotune anyone would end up with combinations like the overlaid vocal line at ruclips.net/video/InFbBlpDTfQ/видео.html Feels like something can be lost by gaining total control.
@Lil Yeet In which case I’d suggest finding something else to listen to. 😊
@Lil Yeet wow you're so cool and edgy
@@Hjarialomar not 'something' - the whole music is lost if you have total control
Back when downloading music was new, it was neat that people share their playlists. I got this song off of someone's playlist back in 2001. I had never heard it and it blew my mind. Been listening to it ever since. Great track.
The apex of Entroducing, which is in itself one of the most surreal and beautiful hip hop albums ever recorded.
Who here in 2024
My first DJ shadow song I ever heard and still love it💯
Same here, this song is so timeless..
hfgj
i had no idea he was making music in '96, but this means he was calling himself a DJ before everyone started doing it....
Wrong. DJ goes back to the 50's for people working at radio stations and the 70's for hip hop.
Bless em thinking DJ was used from 96 lol :)
This is what freedom sounds like. I feel at peace when I listen to this song.
exactly...euphoric freedom in the form of sound-waves(music)
This might sound weird to you but it makes me feel like im missing out on something amazing. It makes me crave my youth too and i got the same feeling of missing something back then. My brother raised me on what I suppose you can call intelligent music like this. Thank God for my brother
@@icecoldcube2823 dude, I get that feeling a lot
You and I will have no freedom 6 years from the date of your comment
Can you imagine how dope a collaboration album would've been with The Deftones and DJ Shadow back in the late 1990's?
This . Its a found art explosion compressed into a diamond.
Remembrances brought to fruition.
This goes well with other midnight things. Great title. It brings into focus something more precious than crickets and moonlight. And an ambulance wail and a coyote chorus just adds to it ,
Thanks brother for having the album when it came out.
RIP mom
Never ever have a beat had this much impact on me
Easily one of the greatest songs of all time
This track is a classic. Part of the golden age of music.
Respect to DJ Shadow and other darker sounding trip hop artists like
Unkle, Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, DJ Krush, HTDA, Allflaws
Why are they put in the same label that makes no sense "trip hop", their sound is unique and different with different elements.
And Mimi💖💝🩷💗💓💘💞💕Page💖💝🩷💗💓💘💞💕Covered Teardrop💧,a Song🎧From Massive Attack. Lisa Hannigan covered Glory Box📦.
@@stizan9185...it’s because all these artists evoke a similar “trippy” vibe with their music. Additionally, all of these artists use drum beats / drum machine rhythms that are common in hip hop as well , kinda the underlying tone of the music
@@Day-ZDuke I mean I see how a track like Tricky - Aftermath would fit that label but Portishead - Roads or Massive attack Teardrop/Dissolved girl not really.
Maybe the greatest album of all time. Every track is just 100% perfection. 👌
This song is like the most amazing cold milkshake in a bottomless glass
a fan of canta try Amon Tobin - Natureland
@@MrGreenAKAguci00 the progeny of this sound
Interesting interpretation
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi Love came to mind.
$5 shake
I was walking down the street the other day, and out of the corner of my eye I saw an old record shop.
Right on the top of a rack of vinyl was Endtroducing.
That started my record collection two years ago.

It's 2022 and I have just discovered DJ Shadow,I'm 67 and loving it. Thanks to RUclips premium....
This song at 12:00 am, me, my skateboard, and a joint outside at Safeway parking lot. Alone in my thoughts I feel the fire within me. Thank you DJ shadow for this marvelous piece. 🙏
The sample is Pekka Pohjola's composition called "Sekoilu Seestyy", from his 1974 album "Harakka Bialoipokku". The vinyl album was re-released under "B The Magpie" on Island Records (V 2036) in the UK 1975.
And here I thought it was Tears for Fears. Didn't realize they borrowed it also.
hondakassi
The song itself was named “madness subsides” in English.
hondakassi and also David Axelrod. Off songs of innocence
Pekka Pohjola is (or better: was) a genius. And I am not even from Finland!
one of the like 10 samples yes.
It's been sixteen years since I've first heard this. The memories it envokes are still as magical.
Love listening to this song when burning the midnight oil
Listening to this while it is midnight in the Bronx, NY and they go together like peanut butter and jelly..heavenly.
+Adyman DJ Shadow is from CA
+Quinn McCullough its them east coasters always trying to claim good music, lol.
One of the greatest driving songs of all time.
First time I heard this I bought the album not knowing what I was buying, got baked, stuck it in the car CD player on the drive home from town. Can confirm.
When this came out we would put it on when we drove to San Francisco in the 90s. Sometimes it would be rainy as we came over the bay bridge and the atmosphere of the song with the city lights rising out of the fog made a permanent impression on my and my friends brains
I love this!
This song is probably one of the reasons I got into music as a whole it just completely changed my way of looking at it.
this song is so etheral and huge shout out to that black dude on the drums
Soulful Vibration Yeah, he's taking things serious.
serious drummer. how can he play such a perfect loop with perfect acuracy
DJ Shadow is the actual real time drummer.
+TheWinterShadow i was joking :p
+TheWinterShadow *percussionist. He doesn't lift a drum stick on the entire album.
First time hearing this song was in 1997. Always had to hit repeat! 20 plus years later still my go-to song while watching the stars.
2-22-2022 Magic date i am here
1996. I was 15 years old. First time I heard this track was on the radio, Q101 in Chicago, Wednesday night. It was eternal bliss. It still is and has been etched in my brain ever since. One of the best songs, if not, top 10 songs, in my book. Man! The feeling I got when I first heard it......wish I was 16 again. Memory eternal.
probably best track you'll ever hear
I agree!! Another great songs for me are:
Pretty soon i don't know what but something is going to happen - norma jean
slow gold becoming - thomas gilles
immersion highway - thomas gilles
twist - tones on tail
biscuit - portishead
pedestal - portishead
clams casino - culture shock (the version without rap "im god" is awesome too)
Maxine ashley - six underdround (original by sneaker pimps)
You should listen to Nightmare on wax - les nuits
Great video too. Love how it’s visually showing you each sample.
@@AlexTraitor Great list. I would add to this list, 'Dissolved Girl' by Massive Attack.
Listening to this in 04-2021, 21:06. A Colombian guy living in USA. Stoned and alive...
Smoke on brother. Peace from wales 🏴.
Yo shadow I listen to this tape front and back for 8hrs straight in 1998 with a chick in a car I stole from my prents. Always loved your shit thanks for the awesome time man one of my favorite nitz yo.
this song captures such a particular mood of somber nostalgia that's so vivid and overwhelming. i'm stunned every time i hear it
Lovely times for me.
One of my favs. First heard it at sleep away camp when I was a kid! My buddy and I listened to it on repeat
This is probably one of the very few songs i never skip when i hear it randomly
One of the most amazing uses of the sampler in modern history.
One of the best instrumentals ever made. I tried to freestyle over it....just couldn't. This alone is close to perfect as you can get. Respect Shadow.
freestyle just won't work. ur respect thou supersedes ur efforts
Entroducing was one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.
Some good music still doesn't change.
Had a friend die and I listened to this song on repeat for 3 days locked in a room writing them a letter for the funeral. I love you Stacey. I love you Shadow!
Apple Justin I'm really sorry to hear that
В сердцах навсегда...
Кто?
My youth, my first love and the summer of 1998. This makes me goosebumps. love it so much.
When this came out DJ Shadow performed at the Bowery, incredible set and to see him live mix was pure genius
*I am only just now discovering DJ Shadow even though I am old enough that I should know his work. What is so compelling to me is that he takes such obscure and almost untraceable vinyl tracks to turn it into a creative masterpiece. The sum is greater than the parts with DJ Shadow.*
This is the song that made me fall in love with this album. The sampling is perfect.
This kinda sound like a masterpiece.
*literally my first time ever checking out Dj shadows music .
Thanks to all that recommended.
I remember being 15 just skating in the middle of the street at midnight to this track and it truly is a work of art
This song reduces me to tears.
CHOON. What an album ❤
After all these years it's insane to find out that the main sample is from an artist from my country. Pekka Pohjola 👌🇫🇮
I can't believe it's been 17 years since I bought this album at the Tower Records in La Jolla. It still sounds so fresh. And Tower Records hasn't even existed as a retail chain for 7 years now. When did I get so old?
brybry26 they still exist in japan
we still have tower records in dublin
0:25 is haunting yet it's beautiful and gives me goosebumps at the same time. It just hits so deep!
Still listening to the record on a weekly basis...since the day it came out.
It's amazing how there are so little few songs like this that are so extremely simple... But yet so fucking powerful
Every time I get stuck on type beats on RUclips, not able to find golden flows or just suffering mental blockage, I come back to this beat. Even if I’m trying to hop on a whole different modern type of sound, this beat helps me clear that blockage and just go with the flow.
The numbing feeling of wishing to die is still stronger than any other.
I hope your feeling well
Don’t do it bro
This album came out in 1996 and it still sounds like the music of tomorrow.
I love this and I’m so glad it samples the same track as Sowing The Seeds of Love. Just perfect.
Anybody who's wondering, "Pekka Pohjola - Sekoilu Seestyy" is the sampled tune in this song.
seanstove I wonder how many samples were actually used in this song. It has to be at least 5-6 samples from a bunch of different songs. Nice catch though.
The very first sample where this song gets its title is from Organized Konfusion.
It samples Meredith Monk's "Turtle Dreams" around 2:30 (cello, voices) and also briefly at 0:15
Thanks dude for the reference ;)
seanstove sounds like David Axelrod the human abstract
I first heard this tune sometime in 1998, then never heard it again until this moment.
Had you been searching for it, missing the name? Very frustrating. I recently found a Strangler's song from a single listening 30+ years ago. (The song was Always The Sun BTW)
Same here, I just re-heard it on a Detroit radio station recently. It prompt me to go and look up the stations playlist as soon as I got home..thankfully they had it listed. It's hard to find otherwise..not many lyrics to search for. Same with a few Art Of Noise songs.
Frankly I had no idea what it was called, nor did I even know who DJ Shadow was. I know I heard the tune on an old audio cassette in the summer or fall of 98, then never heard it again until I recently came across a RUclips video chronicling the history of sampling in hip hop. As soon as it got to 1996, a snippet from Midnight in a Perfect World played and thought to myself "Wait a minute! Where do I remember this tune from?!!"
Cool story bruh
This track brought me peace within myself
One of the greatest songs of all time
