What a useless comparison
*Inhales*
Well, in my head is not, and here's why.
While one uses samples and the other produce their own sounds through analog synths (mostly) I can find certain similiarities in how the approach the atmosphere of their songs. Sure, DJ Shadow may have more "In your face" hip hop beats and BoC have more dreamy production, but the surreal element that both use to make the listener experience a more immersive moment I think they look alike.
You guys enjoy discrediting me just because at this point...

this record is at least half samples if not more tho. i just don’t think they sound anything alike.

They are vaguely adjacent genres at best and trying to wrap my mind around what it is exactly you thought boc did right after endtroducing was released that dj shadow did wrong makes my brain hurt. Not make instrumental hip-hop? I can think of a few other artists from other vaguely related genres that did not make instrumental hip-hop after endtroducing was released as well.

Then again who am I to say that dj a shadow wouldn’t have made more good albums if he had simply made a different genre of music
|
| |
Hype is correct, BoC’s music is predominantly sample-based, a main difference is the source of those samples
|

I think nearly every song on this one has a Sesame Street sample which is iconic af

Its been great to see this bumped so much lately, whatever the reason. Think people not normally into electronic music would find this an easy gateway album.
And its just fucking good too.

Pretty sure this was my true gateway album
But all I need and videotape off in rainbows were the two songs that opened my mind to electronic by opening my mind to more Radiohead like amnesiac and kid a lol

My gateway was Endtroducing, I think, which albums by these guys are very similar to.
Karma police isnt that great for me unless im listening to all of Ok computer in one go, way more better songs on the album.

'But all I need and videotape off in rainbows were the two songs that opened my mind to electronic by opening my mind to more Radiohead like amnesiac and kid a lol'
my love for OK Computer (and The Bends, lol) at the time helped me to persevere with Kid A, in hindsight it wasn't the best candidate for a gateway album.
a bit later I had a copy of Geogaddi (before I truly 'understood' Kid A), but thought it was just passable 'background music' back then.
I always kind of liked Dummy, nowhere near the same as I do now mind. I actually think Third properly triggered my Portishead fandom from memory, certainly took it to another level anyway.

people do that or... ?
I certainly wasn't. My young self quite possibly would have made such silly comparisons, yet I provided the context as to why that would be the case. I could've cited a different original 'gateway' album, but that's actually what happened, stating anything else would be pure fantasy... so?
but maybe it wasn't aimed at me idk
