		Although Preemptive Strike doesn't offer a ton of new material, it does give a more rounded look at the artist and also serves as a nice pacification until his next full-length release hits stores sometime this year.

	DJ Shadow - Preemptive Strike
		As an album, this one doesn't work as well as Endtroducing, and I should note that Shadow is not for everyone (a lot of people think his stuff is boring).
		Instead of an album of new music, Preemptive Strike is a collection of singles released on vinyl on Mo Wax Records in England, many of which were recorded before the release of Endtroducing.
		Preemptive Strike doesn't flow together like Endtroducing did, being that DJ Shadow didn't originally intend for these songs to work together as an album.

	Preemptive Strike - JAPAN by DJ Shadow
		DJ Shadow assembled the singles collection Preemptive Strike as a way for American audiences to catch up on his career prior to his debut album, Endtroducing.
		Those three A-sides are reason enough for any serious fan of the debut to pick up Preemptive Strike, but the B-sides and "Camel Bobsled Race" are equally intriguing, making the package a nice summation of DJ Shadow's most important singles through the end of 1997.
		On its second album, the Rockers Hi-Fi crew continues its musical exploration of the dark borderlands that separate hip-hop, trip-hop, reggae, dub, and electronica.

		My point is not to pick a fight between Entroducing and Preemptive Strike (or fuel the existing battle), but to encourage any fan of DJ Shadow to make sure Preemptive Strike is on your absolute shortest list of must own albums.
		Josh Davis(Shadow) is an artist who has stayed fresh from then until now, but this album is like a timeless interlude, a trailmark and a tribute, because the meat of this album, `What Does Your Soul Look Like`-and for me, the title says it all- is his meditation on music.
		Preemptive Strike is mostly slow and plodding, but each beat dropped lands right in the center of my head.

	Rekkid Reviews
		Dots and Loops, their newest album, released in 1997, is their most innovative one I've heard yet.
		Preemptive Strike matches, and even exceeds, the greatness of his previous album, Entroducing.
		Overall, the album is very low energy and mellow which is a nice change from some of their older albums which have a mix loud, fast songs and softer stuff.

	Thunder Chunky Preemptive Strike Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Pre-Emptive Strike was released back in 1997 as a means to share the turntablists B-sides and remixes with his new-found fanbase, which had come on the scene following the success of 1996’s Endtroducing.
		It a mish-mash of snippets and songs, with a new single on it to boot, in the form of High Noon.
		The album is definitely one that I would only really recommend to those folks who are already into DJ Shadow, and even then, they’d have to be the more die-hard members of that elite troop, with songs often stretching past the eight minute mark.

		This album was my introduction to the world of trip-hop and electronica, and I do not believe there is a more magnificent album to awaken the senses to the potentials of the genre.
		There is no better downtempo album out there (despite the notoriety of the Wild Bunch artists) and despite the obscurity of its sources (one vocal snippet is taken from a '70s nature special on African insects) it is a very accessible album.
		Where this album excels is in its ability to not only drag you into the world that Shadow has produced but takes you through the mind of one the most talented individuals in all of music.

		The sophomore Waxwings release "Shadows of the Waxwings" is a stroke of genius that calls attention to the good old days of rock n' roll, when music was made for the sake of music, and artists were actually artists.
		This is one of the sexiest pop albums EVER, one of the most beautiful pop albums EVER, one of the most messed up, in a good way, pop albums EVER and is one of the greatest pop albums EVER.
		While on a first listen, the unusual sounds from this album may put you off, the songs are still basically pop songs with catchy hooks and a traditional structure.

		And Preemptive Strike is the archeological expedition that proves there was always life in Josh Davis' scratchy little fingertips.
		These 11 tracks document Shadow's evolution from just a kid with a turntable to a full-blown, steady-rockin' brother with soul.
		Though not as diverse as Endtroducing, Preemptive Strike really pulls through.

	Preemptive Strike - DJ Shadow - Music Records Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Basically more than half of the tracks on the album have been previously released, but still unless you have access to imports you would probabley never heard.
		To me the greatest track on the album is the ‘Extented Overhaul’ Of ‘Organ Donor’ which is truly amazing and probabley the best...
		The precursor to the seminal Endtroducucing, Preemptive Strike has a little less going fo it than its younger brother.

		Twentysomething-year-old artist and alchemist of hip hop, DJ Shadow &emdash; formerly known as Josh Davis &emdash; crashed straight out of the Bay Area in 1996 with Entroducing, an album that besieged the hip-hop genre from which it was spawned.
		Purists may have dismissed this arrogant wünderkind, who to them seemed to spin out heavy rhythms like so many bird droppings, but Entroducing was a rambling, tainted work that brilliantly managed to shake some wild, sweaty life into a musical form apparently dry to the well.
		Keeping up with his image as an uppity naysayer, Preemptive Strike isn't Shadow's sophomore follow-up to Entroducing, but rather a hodgepodge of singles, 12-inches and remixes released in the UK in the mid-'90s.

		The two clear winners are Private Press and Preemptive Strike.
		I had never heard of DJ Shadow and had no idea what trip-hop, acid jazz or the like was when I initially listened to this album in 1998 at Karma Records in West Lafayette, Indiana.
		Thank all supernatural beings that someone on the staff there had placed 'Preemptive Strike' in the listening booth thingy.

	Album Review: DJ Shadow - Preemptive Strike
		I persevered, gave myself a slap, and threw in DJ Shadow's metaphorical "middle finger to the bootleggers", Preemptive Strike.
		Preemptive Strike came out after the much-idolized and drooled-over Endtroducing, Shadow's first bullet.
		Due to this hodgepodge construction (did I just say that?) the album suffers from a minor case of continuity deficit.

	DJ Shadow Preemptive Strike
		It was bound to happen, an album that will bring about racial harmony, end hunger, and hail the descent of the age of Aquarius.
		This is a personal album from the artist who made trip-hop before it became a blank description.
		Preemptive Strike is a collection of earlier singles, most of which have not been remixed or revamped, the exception being "Organ Donor (Extended Overhaul)" which has been expanded and tweaked and is the strongest, funkiest cut on the album.

		Preemptive Strike gathers up a gang of import-only rarities and remixes.
		After two albums and a string of hits, including "That Ain't My Truck" and "Don't Get Me Started," country singer Rhett Akins' third effort is solid.
		This band's 14-track album is an experiment in punk with hints of ska, folk and rock.

		DJ Shadow, master mixer, reached his creative zenith in Preemptive Strike with music that forces the listener to manifest the meaning.
		He higlights the beginning of each movement with a strike (3 in all) which prepare you for whats coming.
		This album can be played while hanging out with some friends but I feel the most is gained while putting on some headphones and paying attention to every chord thats presented to the ear.

	yaledailynews.com - D.J. Shadow launches his "Preemptive Strike" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		DJ Shadow burst on to the music scene in 1996 with the critically acclaimed trip-hop album "Endtroducing." To satisfy his yearning American fans, Shadow -- a.k.a Josh Davis -- recently put out "Preemptive Strike," a collection of tracks from his European-only released singles.
		"Preemptive Strike," a complicated, engrossing conundrum of sounds and beats, requires multiple listenings to sort out the sonic mess.
		While just about everything on this album is striking, a couple of tracks are especially notable.

	DJ Shadow: Endtroducing... ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Released in late 1996, critics were taken aback and called it one of the best releases of the decade, raising Shadow's international profile despite standing outside of the mainstream spotlight.
		Mo' Wax capitalized on Shadow's worldwide popularity in early 1998 by releasing a CD collection of his early 90's material called Preemptive Strike.
		As the U.N.K.L.E. project gained momentum, Davis assumed control of the overall sound and finished the album for a late 1998 release.

		Unfortunately, this album was "distributed" in it's complete form a few months ago and has been making the rounds on P2P and usenet.
		It sounds like an album made for crate diggers, like he was trying to travel back in time and recapture an aesthetic that almost seems mystical 30-40 years down the road.
		Preemptive Strike was a release of older songs (What Does Your Soul Look Like was initially done in four parts, and released on MoWax) to "pre-empt" the bootleggers and/or greedy record execs.

		Il fatto rivoluzionario e` che si tratta di un album di hip-hop strumentale, interamente composto per campionamenti, e orchestrato in maniera lussureggiante.
		Preemptive Strike (Mo' Wax, 1997) raccoglie ("campiona") i singoli dei suoi primi anni di attivita`.
		Endtroducing (1996) was possibly the first respectable album of all-instrumental hip-hop, entirely composed on the sampler but nonetheless lushly orchestrated.

		DJ Shadow will drop his new album, The Private Press -- the proper follow-up to his critically acclaimed 1996 debut effort, Endtroducing -- on June 4th.
		In 1998, Shadow released Preemptive Strike, a collection of early singles and has since contributed to a variety of side-projects, including the U.N.K.L.E. album, which featured guest spots from Radiohead's Thom Yorke and the Beastie Boys' Mike D.

		The skits put in here (cleverly entitled "Strike 1", "Strike 2" and "Strike 3 (And I'm Out)") are hilarious at their best, with the first one displaying a drummer trying to duplicate Shadow's beats.
		Well, it just is. And I know that if I put this album by DJ Shadow into a car's CD-player, turn the ignition key and drive along into the city or country - it doesn't matter - the album will always be the background music for your vehicle actions.
		Once again, the arrangements are some of the most striking and colourful of the album's overall, and when it slips into a trance fest, the track is still a thrill.

		When put together as an album, Entroducing ventures quietly into aural atmospheres formerly uncommon for hip-hop, but does so with filmic grace and continuity.
		It makes for an engaging album that can be appreciated by hardcore hip-hoppers and average listeners alike.
		The version that is featured on Preemptive Strike is superior as it is fuller and more developed than the brief snippet featured on here, but this one will do in this context.

	GUSTER
		This unusual trio plays acoustic roots style music in the same way that Violent Femmes got their start.
		In the contemporary times of downloading music from the internet, Guster made a preemptive strike and placed large numbers of songs from their 2003 album "Keep It Together" on the normal trading channels.
		The music was indeed from the album but the vocals were mostly Adam meowing like a cat over them!
