Music

I went ahead and listened to literally everything you put in that post, including the full Uncle Tony's Coloring Book album. (Which I really liked, thanks for the heads-up!) Thing is though: I'm not sure you CAN have a funky, four-on-the-floor Endtroducing (though that Heartbreaker song that samples The Pharcyde comes DAMN close.) It can be fantastic in its own right, maybe strike the same vibe, but it's not going to be Endtroducing. Endtroducing has a moody, soulful, organic sound of its own, which is why we place it on a pedestal, which is why we madden ourselves trying to find a proper spiritual successor. Since I Left You is the one people always seem to recommend, and unlike you, I love that record, but the two albums only have "made entirely from samples" in common — you really might as well recommend Plexure Plunderphonics if those are your criteria.

Soulmates might not have the strong, emergent compositions of Endtroducing (it did, after all, start off as a beat tape,) or even be half as spiritual and spaced-out (although, if you threw a few reverb filters on it...) but I think absolutely NAILS that dusty sonic space that up until now I have considered a niche confined to Endtroducing alone. I mean, just listen to the drum programming on Green Means or Tone Therapy. They're like siblings. (I really oughta go listen to the other Nobody albums sometime...)
