Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
This set compiles much of DJ Shadow's pre-major label material in one convenient package in an attempt to foil bootleggers and bring new fans up-to-date in the curriculum. The results are naturally varied, but all point to a marvellous evolution of talent. The collection is kept together primarily by its propensity for jazzy beats and psychedelic loops. Shadow (né Josh Davis) moves through everything from old school funk ('In/Flux') to grungy 1960s-style guitar rave-ups ('High Noon'). The centrepiece of the set, however, is a four-part composition called 'What Does Your Soul Look Like', which is likely to be the first ever entirely sample-driven rock opera. It's a brilliant piece of work, laced with intriguing sounds, sound bites, and a detectable set of motion. It is also quite possibly better than anything on the critically -acclaimed Entroducing. --Aidin Vaziri

- Some of DJ Shadow's finest momentsOK, yes, a few of these songs have been readily available on other releases. But that aside, I would go as far as to say that Preemptive Strike contains some of Shadow's greatest moments.
As epic as Entroducing is, this collection pushes the envelope even further. What Does Your Soul Look Like part 2 is nothing short of vast in scale with its dramatic strings, crashing drums and mournful vocals. In contrast, part 3 is delicate and minimal, a meandering flute and tinkling piano taking ... Read More

- Buy Entroducing and Private Press first.Im pretty new to DJ Shadow, though i had quite thoroughly listened to Endtroducing and Private Press before obtaining this. Personally i found the centerpiece "What does your soul look like" a little dull, a fleshed out version of "What does your soul look like, pt4." on Endtroducing.
However, everything else is hugely entertaining, the highlights for me being the unforgettable "Organ Donor" and the sublime "High Noon"
My advice however is: Buy Entroducing and Private Press first.

- Great Tracks but we've been given this before!For those of you who don't already have Endtroducing, stop now, click off this page and buy that now.
For those of you who are still here I can tell you now this album is more shadow, which is a VERY good thing - however, I personally feel just a touch "fobbed off" by this release - you ownly really get 5 new tracks (Two parts of "What does your soul look like" are simply mirrored from Endtroducing) and the remix of Organ Donor is nothing too new and groundbreaking. However, there are three ... Read More

- Another excellent Dj Shadow release.Though more of a subtle and moody album, and as such less commercial that Dj SHadow's first album proper, this compendium of vinyl releases is utterly indespensible to a fan. The songs meander and rely more on phrases evolving than on making the trip-hop tunes of 'Entroducing', but it's more emotional and, you suspect, more honest than that ever was. If you thought 'What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4)' on 'Endroducing' was good, wait until you hear all of it. The only downer if the lack of the 'High ... Read More

- What is it about this?This album probably has a hidden meaning its so deep. I dont know what hidden message their might be, perhaps something religious judging from WDYSLL. Hidden meanings aside, it is a fantastic album, less disjointed than Endtroducing. It flows so well, offering an unbelievably chilled style, finishing with Organ Donor. Whilst Organ Donor is probably the "least good" track, it is an absolute classic, as has been said, it is a more exciting track. But all the tracks are exciting once you have got into them. All ...
