████ DJ Shadow û aka Josh Davis û emerged during ████
████ the last decade of the 20th century, helping ████
████ to bring the art of turntablism to a new crowd ████
████ outside of the hip hop arena. And didnÆt he do ████
████ well. His debut, 1996Æs Endtroducing, is a ████
████ disc which stands alone, towering above any ████
████ potential parallels from would-be peers. ████
████ Seriously, if Davis had never made it to a ████
████ second LP, it would have been fine û with his ████
████ first attempt, the man created a classic, ████
████ confirming his status as a legend with what ████
████ remains the final word in crate-digging ████
████ genius. ████
████ ████
████ When a follow-up did arrive, in the form of ████
████ 2002Æs The Private Press, it initially sounded ████
████ like Davis had perhaps been too distracted by ████
████ his work on UNKLEÆs Psyence Fiction LP, ████
████ released in 1998, resulting in a less-instant, ████
████ less-impressive collection. But given time, ████
████ his second record seeped into the senses, ████
████ ultimately revealing itself as a slow-burn ████
████ wonder. But album three was a different ████
████ matter: 2006Æs The Outsider pushed the ████
████ patience of the firmest supporter, adding ████
████ neither light nor tunes to ShadowÆs catalogue. ████
████ ████
████ So, what now? Davis is in a ████
████ nothing-left-to-lose situation to regain lost ████
████ ground, and on The Less You Know, the Better ████
████ it seems like heÆs on his way back from the ████
████ tune-free abyss. Memorable melodies in check, ████
████ heÆs railing against the all-pervasiveness of ████
████ technology: itÆs either sent the listener ████
████ lazy, or denying him of a decent return on his ████
████ investments back in the sample-heady haze of ████
████ the 90s. ████
████ ████
████ Highlights of this set include the very lovely ████
████ Sad and Lonely, on which a female voice emotes ████
████ from yore about the fecklessness of young men ████
████ over a piano which recalls Carole KingÆs ████
████ Tapestry. Less successfully, Davis tries to ████
████ reinvent Tom Vek as ████
████ Billy-Idol-doing-White-Wedding on Warning ████
████ Call, and it doesnÆt do either party any ████
████ favours. Collaborators du jour Little Dragon ████
████ shed lead vocalist Yukimi Nagano for the track ████
████ Scale It Back, on which the singer elevates ████
████ proceedings in a Prince-like fashion, while De ████
████ La SoulÆs Posdnuos is joined by Talib Kweli to ████
████ pleasingly old-school up Stay the Course. ████
████ ████
████ Davis is a great and nifty producer, more in ████
████ his element working on collages and ████
████ atmospheres than acting at being a rock star û ████
████ something his massive highs of the 1990s may ████
████ have led him to believe he was. The Less You ████
████ Know, the Better isnÆt a bad album at all, and ████
████ will likely grow into something far more ████
████ impressive, something that isnÆt quite evident ████
████ on first play. Like The Private Press, it ████
████ could be one the listener returns to down the ████
████ line and wonders how it didnÆt initially ████
████ click. But however excellent this set may ████
████ prove to be, it will only ever stand in the ████
████ vast, well, shadow that its creator has cast ████
████ since releasing the unprecedented ████
████ Endtroducing. ████
