i actually don't watch videos on cable, i just don't have the time to wait around for them to show up. as a result, i hadn't seen the videos for "walkie talkie" and "mashin ..." until now. they're pretty good, sufficiently different in style that you'll not be bored, and do justice to the music.
the music itself, a set of remixes, is really well done. i really liked hearing the music thrown in new directions, great job to the teams that did the work.
all in all a blast, definitely good to have for a serious dj shadow fan, but probably not worth $16 or so new. see if you can pick it up used for less.
An amazing serving of turntablist skill and classic hip-hop feel, cementing the skill of Shadow in the history books.
The z-trip remix is good, the six day remix sucks(b-52s sample!), the gdmfsob remix is sketchy, the radio version of walkie talkie is actually better than the lp version(how come every single from the private press uses this beat one way or another?-treach battle beat, six days remix w/mos def, this mix) and mashin on the motorway still sucks(should've been an instrumental). The videos are pretty cool though(dvd! hooray!)so buy this only for a)right thing remix or b)you are a dj shadow completist.
