Endtroducing..... : DJ Shadow : Review : Rolling Stone

Endtroducing was so far ahead of its time when it was released that, almost ten years later, it still sounds like tomorrow. Crafted almost entirely of deftly chosen samples, Endtroducing gets billed as hip-hop because of its drum loops. But with its dreamscape-y layers of found sound -- operatic singers, groovy piano melodies, dark, moody percussion and more - these beats defy characterization. The bonus disc offers nothing revolutionary, just alternate takes of syrupy funk and explosive break beats.
