Product description

Immerse yourself in the intricate world of J Dilla's final creative endeavor with "The Shining Instrumentals." Released on October 16, 2006, via BBE Music, this album is a testament to the legendary producer's genius, offering a stripped-down, instrumental journey through his signature blend of alternative hip hop and jazz rap. Originally conceived as the instrumental counterpart to his final album "The Shining," this collection features 12 tracks that showcase J Dilla's unparalleled beat-making skills and innovative production techniques.

From the opening notes of "Geek Down" to the closing vibes of "Won't Do," each track is a masterclass in rhythm and melody, highlighting J Dilla's ability to create complex, layered soundscapes that stand alone without vocals. The album's brief 36-minute runtime is packed with standout moments, such as the infectious grooves of "Body Movin'" and the smooth jazz-infused "Love Jones." Whether you're a longtime fan of J Dilla's work or a newcomer to his discography, "The Shining Instrumentals" is an essential addition to any music lover's collection. This album is a celebration of J Dilla's enduring legacy and a reminder of his immense talent.

This is a 2016 Reissue released as a 2LP set.

Clear, Dynamic Sound

Fantastic pressing featuring some amazing instrumentals! The surface noise is kept to a minimum, with just a few pops and clicks here and there. There are no sibilance problems to speak of - just a clear, dynamic sound being pulled from the grooves. The sleeve is quite detailed, albeit a tad thin, but that's hardly an issue at all. Highly recommended!
