Instrumental Album (2000)
Unreleased, Stripped Down Roots
RE-UPPED There’s speculation that this was a 2000 vinyl promo or test pressing that was never released. Others just call it a bootleg. Either way, Instrumental Album is a cool, spacey, hip-hop drum ‘n whatever album from The Roots – featuring smokey samples, cool grooves & vinyl pops that, intentional or not, provide just the right underground blunt-party atmosphere. Basically… it’s merely beats colored with meandering keynotes, but somehow, in the right hands, it all makes sense. With The Roots now a part of Jimmy Fallon’s show, late night TV never had it so good.

Loving this funky strain Willard well found Sir
Yeah, it's Funky Instrumental Extended Mix Psychedelic Film Score Week at The Boat. Thanks.
Nice!
Let's be blunt, it helps to be a little stunned (as they say at Pink's place) to appreciate the finer aspects of this musical melange. That being said, this shit rocks. Thanks again, Mr. W!
Sounds like a good way to get through another day at work. As always, you're the best. Thanks.
Very cool. Thanks for posting this.
