DJ Shadow movies

some dj shadow movies from friday night at brixton academy:
Download walkietalkie.3GP
Download circleline.3GP
Download thistime.3GP
Download mashing.3GP
Download midnight.3GP
i've got a new phone so these are small but decent and you can hear the music - can anyone identify the track on the movie i've called circleline [because it's shot on the circle line]? mashing features lateef rapping on the stage and great audience participation. midnight is shadow closing the show over 'midnight in a perfect world'.

shadow still has an endearing slight lack of cool on stage - i like him better for it because it feels like we get the man not a distancing persona. gareth was surprised by the talking, but shadow talked to the crowd far less than in 2003. still we mocked: "stand away from the mic!" and spoke of sermons in the church of dj shadow. but he left it to lateef to address us at length.

it was great to hear the unkle tracks given a proper run - a soundtrack to better times. some people are surprised by the rap-heavy turn on 'the outsider', but if you've got the quannum/solesides stuff it's always been there, just not on the albums under his own name. with all its guests and styles the outsider feels like shadow's own attempt at an unkle album. musically he's got quite a range.

visuals all fantastic but the thing that sticks in my mind is the cctv cameras clip for 'triplicate' which fortunately is on the dvd with the outsider special edition. one for grace sometime.

Comments

Agree on the whole but who/what was the white guy who wailed? What a noise!
Great visuals and finally found out who C.O.D. is.

chris james has a couple of tracks on the outsider. that was definitely the worst bit though. taking the unkleness too far. bring back richard ashcroft.

The track is 'Be there' by Unkle off Psyence Fiction. Vocal by Ian Brown - good tune.
