New Vinyl Record - Mos Def, EcstaticDouble vinyl LP pressing. 2009 release, the fourth studio album from Mos Def (Yasiin Bey). The album was described as a conscious and alternative hip hop record with an eccentric, internationalist quality. A widespread critical success, The Ecstatic was viewed as a return to form for Mos Def and one of the year's best albums. Mos Def recorded The Ecstatic primarily at the Record Plant in Los Angeles. He worked with producers such as Preservation, Mr. Flash, Oh No, and Madlib, the latter two of whom reused instrumentals they had produced on Stones Throw Records. Singer Georgia Anne Muldrow, formerly of the record label, was one of the album's few guest vocalists, along with rappers Slick Rick and Talib Kweli. For it's front cover, a still from Charles Burnett's 1978 film Killer of Sheep was reproduced in red tint. - Side 1 - 1 Supermagic 2 Twilight Speedball 3 Auditorium 4 Wahid - Side 2 - 1 Priority 2 Quiet Dog 3 Life in Marvelous Times 4 The Embassy - Side 3 - 1 No Hay Nada Mas 2 Pistola 3 Pretty Dancer 4 Workers Comp - Side 4 - 1 Revelations 2 Roses 3 History 4 Casa Bey
