{"product_id":"aesop-rock-float-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp","title":"Aesop Rock: Float (Green Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP","description":"\u003cp class=\"faq-quote\"\u003e\"In 2000, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Aesop+Rock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAesop Rock\u003c\/a\u003e released his first official album, Float, following his steady ascent in the underground from two previous releases, the collection of works CD of lore, Music For Earthworms (1997), and the Appleseed EP (1999). And, while every album Aesop has done since then has captured his continual evolution as both a producer and a writer, Float was undeniably exceptional in its own right.For one, there was something impacting about a full-length album, 20 tracks deep, that never had any singles. Every track only existed as part of the album experience. That in mind, the album’s production is split nearly in half between Aesop Rock and longtime collaborator and good friend, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Blockhead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eBlockhead\u003c\/a\u003e, as well as one offering from Omega One, the Reggae-vibed 'Skip Town'. The album’s production largely seems to have one collective goal, to immediately capture the intended mood, luring the listener in and leaving them attentive and prepared for the carefully crafted accompanying lyricism.Lyrics in mind, Aesop Rock is clearly the star of the record, but the few guest appearances, strategically spread throughout the album, are either the result of great foresight or unavoidable synergy—perhaps both—as Slug (of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Atmosphere\u0026amp;_=pf\u0026amp;pf_v_artist_manufacturer=Atmosphere\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAtmosphere\u003c\/a\u003e), Vast Aire (of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Cannibal+Ox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCannibal Ox\u003c\/a\u003e), and Dose One were all right in the midst, or directly on the verge, of breakthrough career moments of their own around the same time they were featured on Float. As for Aesop, the album finds him diving deep into his intricate, visually descriptive and emotionally riveting writing style, which has only gotten more vigorous and diverse over time. His delivery feels settled into the hints of urgency, as if he is well aware that the journey and challenges, as well as triumphs, that he shall face are arduous and plentiful.Twenty years after its debut, Float is a time capsule of an artist on the brink of fully tapping into creative freedom, while the industry was simultaneously in the middle of a notable shift, which still remains a powerful statement on its own, decades later. To celebrate, Rhymesayers is re-releasing Float on 2xLP vinyl, available in three different, limited edition colorways!\" - Rhymesayers\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20th anniversary reissue of cult Long Island MC\/producer's 2000 debut full-length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecustom green colored double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes printed foldout insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst time on vinyl in 20 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edigital download included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e.","brand":"Aesop Rock","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":32578883518554,"sku":"hh-5170","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/aesoprock-float-coloredvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762278878","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/aesop-rock-float-colored-vinyl-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
