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.

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.

Underground legend DJ Krush delivers on this self-mixed compilation of some of his finest work. Divided into two perfectly cohesive cd's, this collection gives us a sampling of his stellar career. Whether you are just becomming familiar with Krush, or down since day one, this is a must purchase for any fan.

See title & this is worth it, just for the piano mix of DJ Krush + Esthero - Final home.

brilliant.

Great album for everyone who is into hip hop with depth. Krush's production technique's turn out flawlessly!

(The Aesop Rock track is crazzzyyyyinsane)

Awesome album!

A Must Buy

First, I am a HUGE Krush fan, and have all of his other works (less some singles and foreign releases).

This is a double CD, which is always a plus.

- First CD is LYRICISM, as the name suggests, all the tracks are lyrics, mostly rap/hip-hop. The music is decent, but not up to my expectation of Krush. The remixes of wonderful songs from other CD's (the originals) are not nearly as good, if not lame. I was a little disappointed with this CD. Tracks range from 'meh' to OK.

- Second is SOUNDSCAPES, as the name suggests, this is ambient/chill. In my opinion, this is WAY better than the first CD. Great music (track 12 annoys me, though) overall. If you have a very, very good 2-channel system (not computer speakers, not an iPod dock, but a proper 2-channel audio system), the last track on this CD is a blast (lots of distorted, warped, and bizarre sounds that are a blast to hear).

I hold Krush to a very high, if not unfair, standard (one he has earned by making what I consider some of the best music out there) - and this album falls just a little short. Not bad, but certainly not his best.

I would only recommend this CD to a Krush fan who already has most or all of his other works (DO NOT FORGET TO GET 'Cold Krush Cuts'!!!) and wants more - it satisfies this need perfectly, but certainly should not be someones first experience to DJ Krush.
