Mindstate (Shades of Culture album)
Mindstate is the debut album by the Canadian hip hop group Shades of Culture, released in 1998. Critical reception
The Gazette wrote that "Shades venture into some jazz-tinged territory, Jamaican places, sparse rhythm beds and cocktail lounges, with contributions from 'hood heroes like champion turntablist A-Trak and Dubmatique's DJ Choice." AllMusic called the album "an uplifting, lyrically vibrant offering that employs turntable scratching and human beat box techniques laid over a foundation of rich instrumentation." Track listing
