DJ Shadow (born Josh Davis) is widely credited as a key figure in developing the experimental instrumental hip-hop style associated with the London-based Mo' Wax label. DJ Shadow's fourth album The Less You Know, The Better defies expectation dabbling freely in heavy-metal riffage ("Border Crossing," "I Gotta Rokk"), sun- kissed acoustic reverie ("I Been Trying"), and Killers-style Brit-rock (the Tom Vek assisted "Warning Call"). Later on De La Soulʼs always reliable Posdnuos and Talib Kweli join forces on the cosily old-school ʻStay the Courseʼ, while “Sad and Lonely” and "Redeemed" remind us of the ambient-turntablist grandeur that made Shadow famous so many years ago.
