Along with \u003cstrong\u003eDJ Rome\u003c\/strong\u003es, and fellow rhymer \u003cstrong\u003eWildchild\u003c\/strong\u003e, they released the dusty full-length, \u003cem\u003eSoundpieces: Da Antidote\u003c\/em\u003e back in 1999, that laid down the foundation for the unique and dusty sound now associated with Madlib. The loose, freeform recordings on this collection, \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Tapes,?\u003c\/em\u003eare circa 1996 when the group was managed by Madlib’s father, and they show the now-renowned maverick producer in comparatively restrained form. Madlib’s scope and imagination was clearly fixated on East coast jazzy hip-hop production from the early ’90s, laying down soundscapes for his hungry crew including the likes of \u003cstrong\u003eKazi\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eOh No\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKan Kick\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDeclaime\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMedaphoar\u003c\/strong\u003e, who have all become well known underground rap vets. Madlib’s own strong mic presence is noticeable given his now only-on-rare-occasion rhyming, but it’s his production that is the most fascinating element here. While a resolutely hip-hop project, the burgeoning jazzy flourishes and Madlib’s heavily accomplished ear for sound makes the record an important starting point for adherents of his more recent exploratory work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Innersoul\u003cbr\u003eA2 Interlude 1\u003cbr\u003eA3 Psyche Move\u003cbr\u003eA4 I Come Real With This (f.
