Well, here in Eastern Canada, I was shocked to see the college radio top
fifteen last week. DJ Shadow is number 9. This is quite a revelation as the
only other jazzy/breaks related tunes to hit that list were from Portished.
You'll see a hip hop track now and again but I was quite relieved to see
how well people were receiving Shadow's new stuff. We can only hope that
more music from the world of analog.digital fusion makes it to the market.
