Madlib is a prolific musician with diverse styles. One day, while enjoying a meal, Four Tet proposed the idea of a Madlib solo album where the beats would flow seamlessly from start to finish, rather than being for vocalists. Over a couple of years, Madlib sent Four Tet hundreds of music pieces, and Four Tet arranged, edited, and combined them to create this album. Remember the excitement of finding Four Tet's Madvillainy remixes? In December 2020, 'Road of the Lonely Ones' was released, with a soulful Ethics sample and tight drum - programming. Kieran Hebden's influence is heavy on tracks like 'Hoprock' and 'Riddim Chant'. This is one of Madlib's best solo releases in the last decade. It comes on black vinyl with a special - edition silkscreened cover designed by Jason Jagel, known for his work on MF DOOM's MM..Food and Operation Doomsday. It's a limited - edition release under the Madlib Invazion 2021 label.
Using this vinyl LP is easy. Just place it on your turntable, gently drop the needle on the groove, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the record, which can affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to gently clean it before playing. Remember, this is a limited - edition item, so handle it with care to keep it in great condition for years to come.
