Anyone itching for a Madlib fix - yes, he isn't quite as "everywhere" as he was even just a year ago - will find comfort in this brief history lesson/megamix he gives on the magic of Motown.
Far from a rudimentary mash-up, 'Lib slices and splices choice cuts from the legendary catalogue, but doesn't just stop there. To give it the justice such a vital piece of compiling deserves, the producer slips in narrative history-lesson voiceovers, as well as interview clips with the likes of Smokey Robinson and Michael Jackson.
Soothing and exhilarating, Hitsville USA has never sounded so damn... succinct and complete.
