T.I.M.E. Soundtrack

VINYL FORMAT. Created for the Element Skateboards film "This Is My Element," the T.I.M.E. Soundtrack is the first of its kind: an original, artist-composed score crafted to the beat of polyurethane pounding pavement. Anticon veteran producer and beatsmith Odd Nosdam tailors each song to fit the style and cadence of the Element rider it accompanies. And on its own, quite simply, this album is a banger. From its opening moments, the T.I.M.E. Soundtrack menaces thump-driven destruction. "T.I.M.E. In" sports an ominous SP1200-crunched beat that stomps into the fore like Godzilla into Nagasaki, while Nosdam's trademark pops and quirks flit overhead. The Chad Muska-inspired "Trunk Bomb" aggressively boom-baps its way to rhythmic bliss via chopped breaks and arpeggiated synth, while "Fly Mode" (co-produced by Jel and fashioned after the fluid stylings of Brent Atchley) is a loping, folksy instrumental that blows through like a summer breeze.
