This is for Indies only. Madlib Sound Ancestors (Glow In The Dark Cover and on Green Vinyl). This is a unique Sound Directions cover by Mason London, using the same soundwave-generated artwork as on the original. The cover’s imagery and text glows in the dark. The vinyl is translucent green. We wanted to make it glow in the dark too, but we found out that glow in the dark vinyl sounds horrible, so we opted for the next best thing. Limited quantity, will not be repressed. “A few months ago I completed work on an album with my friend Madlib that we’d been making for the last few years. He is always making loads of music in all sorts of styles and I was listening to some of his new beats and studio sessions when I had the idea that it would be great to hear some of these ideas made into a Madlib solo album. Not made into beats for vocalists to use but instead arranged into tracks that could all flow together in an album designed to be listened to start to finish. I put this concept to him when we were hanging out eating some nice food one day and we decided to work on this together with him sending me tracks, loops, ideas and experiments that I would arrange, edit, manipulate and combine. I was sent hundreds of pieces of music over a couple of years stretch and during that time I put together this album with all the parts that fitted with my vision.” Kieran Hebden AKA Four Tet..
