Customer Reviews

Better than the originals
I own several DJ Krush albums and love his dark, brooding, trip-hop influenced style. But with Stepping Stones, I found the perfect DJ Krush listening experience. This album is darker and more sinister than his original work. The first CD, Lyricism, is essentially a hip-hop/trip-hop album featuring a number of guest vocalists, including The Roots, Mos Def, Aesop Rock, Anticon, and others. The overall quality of CD #1 is so good that it's hard for me to name any favorite tracks, but #8 and #11 just blow me away. The second CD, Soundscapes, features haunting instrumental remixes of some of Krush's best originals. Again, the overall quality is great, so I won't name any favorite tracks. With this double-CD album, you get two distinctly different listening experiences. Call it hard/soft, active/passive, whatever. The first CD kicks you in the teeth, the second hypnotizes you.

deep
Krush doesn't disappoint.. man I've got to say this CD is AWESOME! The overall production quality is just so perfect. Very nice warm sound and the track selection is great. I think it's great that there are so many other great artists on this CD and it is just another step up towards perfection.

From the master of the wheels of steel....
A collection of his best works on 2 discs, remixed, touched up...plenty of outstanding hip hop and dnb beats, with jazz, scratches, cuts and breaks sprinkled throughout, reflecting the wide array of Krush's skills and progression as a musical artist. disc 1 has rappers performing on each track, underground performers that aren't pop but loaded with talent, krush using his skills to bring the best from each. disc 2 are his tracks, the stellar diversity showing whatever interests held krush at that time of creation, destroying any myths of typecasting.

the cd case is well designed, almost entirely black, including the cd's. very understated and subtle overall, sending a message of mystery and strength. removing the cd cover, the booklet unfolds to reveal lyrics for all the tracks off disc 1, a nice treat...this item is very difficult to by in store (i went to virgin megastore) so buy online if possible.
