DJ Shadow and James Lavelle spent ages putting together Psyence Fiction, a guest vocalist heavy post-hip hop album in 1998, packaged beautifully by Mo Wax. It was long, it was a kind of 90s psychedelia, it was a bit overwrought and it was a bit over-worked. Some of the tracks pulled it off though. This one with The Verve's Richard Ashcroft managed it- those portentous strings at the end sound both over-the-top and rather good.

I like this, love the strings. It's so dark, not that that's a bad thing at all, but I think I need to listen to some bubblegum pop now....
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I heard this. Still sounds very good.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely dark.
ReplyDeleteLoved the whole album
