User Reviews: Psyence Fiction
good cd, not too "ambitious".
if read somewhere that this album was too ambitious. hell no! maybe one song, but not the whole thing. lonely soul is the most ambitious song on the cd. i really did enjoy it. the most out of place song has to be nursery rhyme. get the geetars out of here! overall shadow did a good job.

Unkle have just been added to my favorite artists list, among others including radiohead and the verve both of which feature in this incredible album, thom yorke in the emotional rabbit in your headlights and richard ashcroft in the equally emotional lonely soul. psyence fiction takes you on a ride through rap, hip, indie, rock... its this blend of so many styles that makes this one of the best albums ever (yes.. EVER). If you have a wide ranging musical taste like myself you will LOVE this album and enjoy every second of it. buy it now !! visit http://www.21337.com for a more indepth review and analysis of the album. go on, get to the shop your wasting time!

This is one of the best dj albums there is out there. Roni Size, Basement Jaxx And Unkle are the best dj's around. You should definetly check this one out.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoExcellent
This is a quality DJ album by DJ Shadow. The artist collaboration has created some phenominal songs... Buy this album if you have the cash. I can't wait for the next UNKLE album.
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThis Album is utterly amazing
One of the most definitive tracks on this album is surley 'Lonely Soul'. It's mix of strings and beat sound unorthadox. However the boys pull it off nicely with amazing results. Another astonishing track is 'Rabbit In Your Headlights' With Tom Yorke, disturbing but beautiful is the only way to discribe this gem. A message to UNKLE... Please Give Us More!!!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoFANTASTIC
Its not often that an album can truly be described as groundbreaking, but anyone else that has heard it and tried to describe it to anyone else will realise it is the only real word to be used (i find hip-hip/dance/rock orientated funk with uplifting moments, smattered with brilliance, all tied up in a beautifully complete package , a little too much for most people to come to grips with) FULL MARKS
meccleshall@hotmail.comWas this review helpful? Yes - NoDid James Lavelle
Grand projects have a history of falling on their arses. The
Millenium Dome, Trip Hawkin's '3DO', and Star Wars Episode 1 all built up expectations higher than ever before, only to become an legendary embarrassment.
When James Lavelle claims he'll gather 40 of the world's most skilled musicians to make the greatest album in the history of mankind, the industry starts to worry. Even from the fan's point of view, to see DJ Shadow publicly disgrace himself would have been heart-breaking.
Imagine the rapture when, after four years, we found that Lavelle had well and truly come up with the goods. Not only had he escaped humiliation in the eyes of the elite, but he'd created a legendary album which affect its listeners permanently.
It rapidly sounds like somebody's Desert Island Discs selection, until you remeber that none of this existed pre-UNKLE...
As the listener is drawn into Psyence Fiction's brutal soundscape, the tracks each become masterpieces in their own right. Richard Ashcroft involves us in his train of thought with the grandiose 'Lonely Soul' [recorded before Shadow put the Verve back together :) ]; Badly Drawn Boy undergoes a musical change of direction. He sends us spiralling through a meat tenderiser of three drumkits with insane guitars in Nursery Rhyme. Even the secret track is a work of art...
Overall, the impression is of heavenly chaos. Perhaps a subliminal consequence of Shadow's compulsive jilted beats, perhaps just an inevitability after you involve forty free-thinking artists in an album.
It's hard to evalute chaos, buy this album nonetheless.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoPsyence Phact
It's here, it's finally here. Three years of recording in the making and finally it's out. 'Bout
Not an album to stick on for a party but an album that is definatly able for a few quiet spliffs in a comfortable chair with some friends. It has some of the best collaberations I've seen in a long time, taking vocal talants from alt-rocker Thom Yorke, to old-skool hip-hop in the form of Beastie Boy, Mike D. With songs like that of Unreal, thumping drum loops, worthy of the dirtiest hip-hop, and melodies that touch the soul in ways I still can't percieve.
This album is a masterpiece and everyone should have two copies of it. One for listening to, and the other to frame and hang on your wall. Dj Shadow, we salute you....Was this review helpful? Yes - NoThis rocks!
Shadow is clearly the master of what he does and this proves it!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoMore DJ Shadow... please
Anything with DJ Shadow is pretty cool, but this is even more exciting. Find it, and buy it!
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoHasn't left my CD player since I got it
Everything about UNKLE rocks. Big, fat beats, smooth lyrics, assists from Verve, Beasties, Radiohead... Check out a remix they do of a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion song, too. It's different- if you like Portishead, Bjork, DJ Shadow you'll dig this. My new favorite CD!
Was this review helpful? Yes - Noahh...its a cd...
Its okay, i got it for free, never new what kinda cd it was, the only really song i liked was #11 cause the singer is the lead singer form Radiohead, (my favorite band, so i was kinda surprised about that)
Was this review helpful? Yes - NoHey mom, textured music like this ROCKS
An awesome compilation; a 50's sci-fi journey concept album; moody and dramatic.
This is the future of music, not the 3.5 minute pop up your ass radio crap.
Hats off to the crew!
Try something new, you might just like it.Was this review helpful? Yes - No
