DJ Shadow Endtroducing tracks....

[daveman]

The after-school percussion group at Minnetonka High School, Minneapolis, rehearsed for months and can now play two tracks from DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing' album. The music was arranged by 25 year-old geographer/law student/vibraslap enthusiast Brian Udelhofen, who teaches the group. The Shadow Percussion Project page links to this amazing video [65mb WMV] of the group's live performance in May 2005. They play 'Building Steam with a Grain of Salt' and 'Changeling'. What's amazing is how much like the record they sound (given the rather fuzzy audio), at least on 'Building Steam'. The drummers recreate the glitchy MPC-60 loop editing pretty much perfectly. Medals all round.

I think its really cool that people can actually reproduce electronic music to a pefect level of accuracy. Has anybody heard the Bad Plus's remake of Aphex Twins "Flim"? Its got a jazz feel to it, and it re-created almost flawlessly. Its worth tracking down to give it a listen.

Endtroducing really is one of the best albums ever, this has inspired me to get it down off the shelf for another listen!
