    This should've been a worldwide hit. This is the type of music we need mainstream. Her voice reminds so much of T-Boz from TLC.

      No we certainly don't want this music to get mainstream. The quality of the music will be lowered when in goes mainstream

    The video is a dream in which, when you wake up, you can only remember about 4-5 still frames from it. Sometimes that's all you ever remember, sometimes details come back randomly for days, months, even years afterward.

    i fockn can't believe this video has under 10k views. it makes me sad. for me as a DJ myself, shadow is a living legend. he's one of the reasons I started making music in the first place. there is so much soulless but famous music out there and this masterpiece didn't got the attention it deserved. heck, the music industry is such a heartless place...

    I swear I saw blue light
    My feet followed it outside
    And I thought I heard someone say
    Fly far away
    And when you reach up the sky is there
    This clueless weather know
    We swing the waves, and let it go
    Until I heard someone say
    Over the rise and beyond
    Oh, where you’re reach and knocked over stars
    Like light I came from pocket finesse
    Every moment I see with eye closed
    Take me to places where we can start
    Like light I came from pocket finesse, every
    Nothing can steal this treasure from us, babe
    I’m still in luck- now
    Fighting the sounds
    Take chances and come closer to me babe
    I’m fallin’ out - now

    So a few months ago when I picked this album up I was cruising around with my windows down. The leafs were falling, the weather was just perfect with a crisp blue sky as the Sun was getting ready to start setting. All the feelings and emotions seemed to be captured effortlessly as I played this track. One of those songs that when you get older will make you reminisce and take you right back to that moment.

    I didn't realize until now just how much I wanted a DJ Shadow & Yukimi Nagano collab album. Her voice sounds sooooo good over a simple breakbeat. Don't get me wrong, I love her band but her voice really shines over slower tempo, sampled beats. This one gave me shivers.

    because you don't know what he actually did.
    the man in the beginning created those images in his mind to memorize a deck of cards(52 cards) in 20~40 seconds.
    they just reenacted what went on in his mind.
