Brainfreeze
DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist
Bootleg
Here's an album that I'd been looking for for years, after hearing it played over the sound system at the dearly departed Django's Records (RIP). The clerk at the counter told me the story of the album's creation and the legal difficulties with a certain convenience store chain and of the album's subsequent deletion – all the while refusing to sell me his personal copy- so I've been looking for it ever since. Bootlegs abound and I'm overjoyed to have found it at last.
Contained on it's two sides is one hellacious throwdown between DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist, recorded live in the studio, using some of the coolest, funkiest R & B and funk 45s from the seventies and eighties. The execution is seemless. Although it's sad to think of all of the classic sides that were demolished in this scratchy melt-down, the end results are well worth it.
