This is a record that establishes its own emotional space and holds it from start to finish, establishing Blockhead as a major player in the so-called trip-hop movement alongside the likes of DJ Shadow, RJD2, DJ Krush and Kid Koala. The 20th anniversary edition includes 2 bonus discs featuring classic Aesop Rock instrumentals and never-before-released 'Lost Files' from ‘99-’03.\" - Ninja Tune\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Lab review:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter cutting his teeth producing Aesop Rock and the Party Fun Action Committee,\u003c\/i\u003e new \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Ninja+Tune\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNinja Tune\u003c\/a\u003e signee \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=Blockhead\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBlockhead\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers 14 tracks of instrumental work on this challenging, but highly listenable debut. Those familiar with his work will know that he mixes together jazz, rock, and soundtrack samples with live guitar\/violin to create a sound that’s like a dark indy score, kind of like a hip-hop \u003cstrong\u003eJon Brion\u003c\/strong\u003e. I’m really enjoying this album, due in a large part to Blockhead’s strong sense of composition and overall cohesiveness of sound, especially evident on the first single “Insomniac Olympics” and “Road Rage Breakdown.” However, the centerpiece is definitely the three-part “Triptych,” which comes together in a \u003cem\u003eWDYSLL\u003c\/em\u003e sort of way (ed.note: that’s dork-speak for a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=article%2Cpage%2Cproduct\u0026amp;q=DJ+Shadow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDJ Shadow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e reference).
