Created for the Element Skateboards film This Is My Element, the T.I.M.E. Soundtrack is the first of its kind: an original, artist-composed score crafted to the beat of polyurethane pounding pavement. Anticon veteran producer and beatsmith Odd Nosdam tailors each song to fit the style and cadence of the Element rider it accompanies. And on its own, quite simply, this album is a banger. From its opening moments, the T.I.M.E. Soundtrack menaces thump-driven destruction. T.I.M.E. sports an ominous SP1200-crunched beat that stomps into the fore like Godzilla into Nagasaki, while Nosdam's trademark pops and quirks flit overhead. The Chad Muska-inspired Trunk Bom aggressively boom-baps its way to rhythmic bliss via chopped breaks and arpeggiated synth, while Fly Mode (co-produced by Jel and fashioned after the fluid stylings of Brent Atchley) is a loping, folksy instrumental that blows through like a summer breeze. Throughout the T.I.M.E. Soundtrack, Nosdam's approach--decidedly upbeat, mobile, and spontaneous--cements the guitar-driven rollick of We Bad Apples to the funky minimalism of Zone Coaste; to the sweet toughness of Ethereal Slap. Elsewhere Nosdam proves his hand at big and grimey (Cop Crush for Bam Margera), melodic and gorgeous (Root Bark for Mike Barker, also co-produced by Jel), and heaving and stoney (One For Dallas for Levi Brown). Top Rank leaks in like steam over lo-bit guitars and a warm dubby bounce designed for child prodigy Nyjah Huston, then morphs into a slow-pulsing, textured epic just as apt for rolling--by board or by car--through any concrete jungle. But the second-to-last track Wig Smasher conceived for Tony Tave, sends the T.I.M.E. Soundtrack soaring to the stratosphere. The slow burn of steady organ builds and builds from a bedrock of record static, ambient fuzz, skittering drums and 808 bass, culminating in a five-alarm blaze of beat-driven sound collage. It's an anthemic near-end to a larger-than-life song cycle.

Mr. Dibbs - Primitive Tracks for Alien Workshop's Photosynthesis video is totally close enough to be first

I almost feel my interest in odd nosdam is fading out

I haven't heard this yet, but his remix album certainly lost a lot of its charm over time... I hope this is a bit more focused and more re-memorable.

It's a great album, a bit short, but still great. Nosdam really has his sound, and this album comes back to his basics : short instrumental tracks, with a dirty vibe, mixed with some happy moments

Listen to Fly mode on the anticon website, this track is great to wake up in the morning.

yeah, i actually think this might be his best - and I really like Burner and Live Level Wires. While I wish some of the tracks were longer, I think the brevity required by the soundtrack format is beneficial overall. There's very little ambient/noise wankery here. And the beats are aces.

He had "We Bad Apples" and maybe another track on his MySpace last time I checked. It sounded pretty cool. Then again, ever since I heard Burner, I've been a die-hard Nosdam fan.

i've had this forever. it was packaged with the dvd i think. anyway i recently found out that some of the songs on this album (trunk bomb, another one i forgot) are actually oldass songs that were on vol. 8. i was kind of bummed to find out nosdam was essentially recycling his shit, but then i forgave him because he's a baller.

this is good. better than level live wires but not as good as burner

ethereal slap is an amazing tune. it's hard to front on nosdam, he's a consistent dude.

i <3 Fly Mode
