Though I agree that Endtroducing is a more complete album, my favorite
tracks of Shadow's are on Preemptive strike (or rather the earlier releases)
Specifically What Does Your Soul Look Like, i think is his best work, and a
few other jointz whose name I forget but they've got good hip hop beats and
can hold their own on the dancefloor, are all on Preemptive Strike

If yer looking for a listening experience go for Endtro....

...but my memory escapes me... which record has the song that samples Idris
Muhammad, with the horns and the scratching and the vocals saying "I'm goin
back!"
that song is the shit!
