The majority is probably familiar with the flagship track, “Stylo” featuring Mos Def and Bobby Freaking Womack, but there’s is so much more to be had with the virtual band’s latest studio album, Plastic Beach.
Not only did the trio run the gauntlet by releasing five different versions of the album–I recommend the Japanese ‘Experience Edition’–but they brought out the production big guns with tracks featuring everyone from Snoop Dogg and De La Soul to London-born grime rapper, Kano and rock great, Lou Reed.

The overall execution of the album is tight. Period. The symphonic and mellow feel of “Cloud of Unknowing” and “Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach” do not detract from the bass/synth-heavy material that fans were used to on the first two albums, but welcomed additions.
Plastic Beach is a joy to listen to I assure you that every house beats DJ in the world will make hella sure that its tracks will be added to their repertoire with the quickness. Trust me.
