DJ Shadow
Reconstructed: The Best of DJ Shadow
Island Records

Bringing his talent and diversity to the studio and turntables, DJ Shadow’s Reconstructed: The Best of DJ Shadow is a great album to start novice and ‘soon-to-be’ fans. It brings back his old hits that most of us have heard at least once or twice, whether we realized it or not. The album features collaborations of genres including Jungle, Jazz, Psychedelic, Classical, Drum and Bass, Hip-Hop and more, making it a fit to many people’s musical tastes. This album showcases songs like “Midnight in a Perfect World,” being the first bit of ear candy to keep you captivated followed by other tracks that give off more of a late night drive type of feel. “Listen,” “Six Days,” and “Organ Donor,” being a few of them to make your ’90s memories rush back to the forefront. This greatest hits brand of album is just a mere taste-test of different times in DJ Shadow’s career. Many people of all different musical tastes and backgrounds can come together and enjoy this album, not to mention the rest of DJ Shadow’s music. This is a collection that should definitely be added to every music-lover’s collection.
