Live! In Tune & On Time

DJ Shadow, as his alias suggests, is no fan of the limelight, but he is now stepping forward to lead his genre in what has become known as "Cinematic Hip-Hop." "In Tune & On Time" is the audiovisual recording of his extraordinary live shows from his world tour. This remarkable CD/DVD captures Shadow’s startling visceral and visually dynamic performance. That visual dynamism is apparent not only in the live show itself, but throughout the entire DVD. It's divided into three parts, with an "intermission" featuring candid, on-the-road footage from various countries, vox pops with fans, and a montage of crowd stills. Selected images from the backdrops at Brixton (UK) have also been edited here and there into the final product, to enhance the film’s depth of field. Fans will also delight in the DVD’s extras, which include a sampler battle between DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, and DJ NuMark at the Myan Theatre, L.A. and a solo turn by touring drummer Malcolm Catto. The CD features 20 tracks, from "Fixed Income" to "Holy Calamity" to "Mashin' on the Motorway."
