{"product_id":"adrian-younge-younge-lp-vinyl","title":"Adrian Younge – Younge","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdrian Younge built his reputation as one of the most serious archivists and practitioners of analog soul, scoring projects for Marvel, collaborating with Ali Shaheed Muhammad on the Jazz Is Dead series, and producing records with Ghostface Killah and others that treated vintage sound not as pastiche but as living tradition. This self-titled LP arrives as a kind of personal reckoning, pulling every thread of that work into a single statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYounge is Adrian Younge's magnum opus: an orchestral album written from the perspective of a hip hop producer, and a hip hop record composed with the discipline of classical and cinematic music. It reframes orchestral composition not as nostalgia, but as a living language built for reinterpretation.Inspired by composers like Lalo Schifrin, David Axelrod, Ennio Morricone, Galt MacDermot, Bo Hansson, and later visionaries such as Portishead's Geoff Barrow, the album draws from a lineage of emotionally charged, forward-thinking music that quietly shaped hip hop decades later through sampling. These were records defined by tension, restraint, and atmosphere-qualities Younge places at the center of this work.Recorded entirely to tape at Linear Labs, Younge unfolds like a lost soundtrack from an alternate history: modular compositions, dramatic movements, and themes that feel simultaneously ancient and futuristic. The music anticipates reuse-it invites sampling, deconstruction, and dialogue-without ever feeling unfinished.Adrian Younge has spent years testing orchestral music in front of live audiences, refining how large ensembles communicate energy, space, and narrative. That experience is embedded in the record. Every arrangement breathes. Every silence matters.This is not orchestral music collaborating with hip hop. It is orchestral music as hip hop-spoken fluently across time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Portschute\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Human Absence\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Galt\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Moon Traveling\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Different Directions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Visual Assault\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Respond To Sound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Clockwise\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Il Mattino\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 617308035766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linear Labs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.26.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wax Poetics Records (WPR021)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e US\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Stop And Look (And You Have Found Love) – 2:45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Lost Without You – 3:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 True Love – 2:54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Silently – 2:37\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 Enemies – 1:57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA6 To Be Your One – 3:01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Stand Up – 2:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 Just Love – 2:12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 So In Love With You – 1:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB4 I Can't Cry No More – 3:11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB5 Lover's Melody – 2:38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB6 Party's Over – 3:05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB7 Life Never Ends – 2:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdrian Younge – Producer, Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWilliam Hart – Written-By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54553084690750,"sku":"113634652","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12634885194046-transparent-v2-r2.png?v=1791328430","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/adrian-younge-younge-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
