wait. don't hold back. are you trying to say that "ambient" and "techno" aren't your favorite genres? or "rap" or "hip hop?" is that a grey hair i see?  |
| chasech5 (East Lansing, MI) | Posted: Feb 04, 2005 - 13:27 I'm sure DJ Shadow knew he was using Wolfe. And the use of El Condor Pasa is brilliant, if you think about the lyrics of that song, and the music that signifies it that they use. The songs is, after all, called You Can't Go Home Again. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/simon-and-garfunkel/124731.html |

| stickittotheman (Ely, MN) | Posted: Feb 04, 2005 - 13:25 Thom Yorke could create a better mix than this on his etch-a-sketch. |

Unusual butts they must have...but I agree. Love Thomas Wolfe. Wish he'd had a better editor. |

| grumblecat (Sacramento, CA) | Posted: Dec 07, 2004 - 12:25 Wow so much hate for Shadow, I know that many on here are not fans of turntablism but it like anything else is an art. And can be done well or poorly and Shadow is one of the best. He takes what came before, combines it and creates something new and in truth that is what many artists have done for years. |
| hyperfish (Athens, OH) | Posted: Dec 07, 2004 - 12:21 Just a sprinkling of these songs is all I need. |

It is not a toy piano it is called Charango and it is small guitar(smaller than a mandolin) |
| newwavegurly (This is planet Earth... you're looking at planet Earth...) | Posted: Dec 01, 2004 - 13:27 I could swear I heard samples from Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night" in this.  |
| LLMikeJ (midwest) | Posted: Dec 01, 2004 - 13:26 pretty good. can't believe nobody put the drummer guy up yet (even though i'm pretty sure it's really a machine..)  |

I would call him more annoying and unimagitative (IMHO) Simon and Garfunkel already stole El Condor Pasa from South American folk music, now it is taken again, a really miserable mixture |

That must be why the quality of the sample is so bad....I kinda like this, too. |
| rah | Posted: Dec 01, 2004 - 13:23 i'm really genuinely surprised at how many people have a negative reaction to this piece. what's so bad about it? it makes for an excellent background track if you ask me; perfect to paint/crunch-numbers/mop-the-floor to... |

that's steals, or stole, but stills? .. distills maybe? First Paul Simon stills it from Chile, then Shadow from Simon.. what is next? 
Well anyway.. I for one want my money back.. that's tom foolery.. trickery if you will.. making me think I'm going to get Simon-ized and instead I get Shaded. :( Don't get me wrong.. its nice.. not bad really.. but not what I'd thought I was gonna get.. thought no one else in their right mind would have taken that sound into their own.. :) |
| Gordon (Planet Earth (mostly)) | Posted: Aug 26, 2004 - 04:45 This artist is obviously artistically retarded. :headshake: |
| Pyro (Between a rock and a hard place) | Posted: Aug 20, 2004 - 08:26 Sounds like Blue Man Group is the backup band! |

Where'd you learn that? this past summer, when this song was getting played a lot on KCRW here in LA, Nick Harcourt mentioned it during one of his "Morning Becomes Eclectic" shows. i love this song. the 80s new wave vibe makes me feel very cozy somehow. :D |

| AC (211 miles South of Paradise) | Posted: Nov 08, 2003 - 14:50 Mmmnnnph. I can't decide whether I really like it, or it irritates the hell out of me. Guess I'd better hold off on rating it. |
