Fog
Fog (2002)

When it’s done well, instrumental hip-hop easily makes rock and roll seem like music for old farts and the naively nostalgic. Fans of DJ Shadow, The Automator, Mr. Scruff, and Cut Chemist will enjoy exploring the aural possibilities of something that isn’t bound by any regulations other than keeping the groove consistent.

Mr. Andrew Broder, also known as Fog, pulls quite a few surprises out to ensure that 99.9% of this was a very pleasant surprise. My only criticism? It had to end. If you’re still lamenting the apparent absence of Double Dee and Steinski from current pop radar this will give you something to smile about.
