Madlib is a music - making machine, constantly churning out music in diverse styles. One day, while listening to his new beats and studio sessions, Four Tet got the brilliant idea of creating a Madlib solo album. It's not just beats for vocalists, but a well - arranged album meant to be enjoyed from start to finish. Four Tet and Madlib joined forces, with Madlib sending hundreds of music pieces over a couple of years. Four Tet then arranged, edited, and combined them to bring this album to life. Remember Four Tet's Madvillainy remixes? It was like finding a hidden gem back then. In December 2020, 'Road of the Lonely Ones' was released, with a soulful Ethics sample and tight drum - programming. 'Sound Ancestors' clearly has Madlib's touch, but Four Tet's influence is strong on tracks like 'Hoprock' and 'Riddim Chant'. It's one of the best Madlib solo releases in the last decade. This full - length Madlib instrumental album, edited, arranged, and executive - produced by Four Tet, comes on black vinyl from the Madlib Invazion label in 2021. Reviewed by SHH! in 09/2021.
To use this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently lower the needle onto the record to start playing the music. When you're done, lift the needle carefully and turn off the turntable. To keep this vinyl in top shape, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in its original sleeve. Don't stack too many records on top of it to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it. Enjoy the amazing music from Madlib and Four Tet!
