Summary: Solid but only for enthusiasts
Comment: This Krush album is quite good, however it's not his best effort. I might be holding him to higher standard. It is his first major release so you hear traces of the genius that would come years down the road. Personally I think its missing something. Start with Meiso and Millight.
Keeping the Motion, Into the Water and especially Big City Lover are standouts.

Summary: Stunning - and only the beginning.
Comment: Often an artists debut album will be wonderful - as this one is - but subsequent albums get progressively worse. This is not the case with DJ Krush. His first album (this one) is great, as is everything else he has released since.
About this album - like most of his work, there are some dark and heavy (dare I say depressing) beats with elements of jazz, rap, ambient, etc. mixed in. It is all orchestrated in a manner only a master musician like Krush could pull off, and the results are stunning.
Only thing I don't like is that the play time is 48 minutes - but who cares, it is 48 minutes of perfection, and there are well over a dozen more hours to be had on his other CD's. If you like this, hopefully love it, you MUST buy his other stuff - it is all excellent.
A final note - this album was released in May of 1995, almost 12 years ago as of this review. It sounds like it was just released, it is aging well.

Summary: Essential Driving Music...
Comment: Whether you're driving, lounging, or just looking for some more great music, this is where you should be looking. His production is creative and inspiring. Everytime I play it, I just zone out and get in this meditative-like state. It makes you wanna jump on the 1 and 2's yourself and just start creating. Anyway, brilliantly done all the way through. A+

Summary: Nothing like Krush
Comment: DJ Krush's album "Krush" offers you a mix of classic smooth Hip-Hop, jazz, and electronic all rolled into one. He has a similar sound to DJ Shadow, but he manages to keep all of his work genuine and uniquely DJ Krush. To get a good idea of what's in store, check out some of the tags for the songs while reading the reviews (however these don't do justice). If you're a fan of Shadow, then I'm sure you be into Krush and his sound.

Summary: HOT SHIT
Comment: Classic Krush. One I've bought once or twice on tape, CD and vinyl. Premiere's discovery proves his worth in the hip hop nation.
