The Midnight Hour: Lost Tapes 028 CD

If the name The Midnight Hour isn't immediately familiar, the music almost certainly is. Ali Shaheed Muhammad is a founding member of A Tribe Called Quest, one of the most beloved groups in hip hop history. Adrian Younge is the Los Angeles-based composer, instrumentalist, and producer who has shaped the sound of some of the most critically admired records of the a past two decades. Together, they have been architects of the sound that serious listeners point to when they try to describe what great music feels like. 

The music they had been making together had a life of its own. By 2018, it had become The Midnight Hour: their self titled debut album, recorded to tape with a live rhythm section and full orchestra, and released to widespread acclaim. In 2020, the duo were deep in sessions for a second album. But then the world shut down; the recordings were shelved. The album never came and remained unfinished and unheard of. But now, via their Jazz is Dead label, The Lost Tapes have been unearthed.
