Beastie Boys
The In Sound From Way Out! LP

Beastie Boys were well into their career when they released The In Sound From Way Out!, an instrumental album featuring jazz-funk instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication. The departure from their usual sound wasn’t a surprise to anyone who recognised the group’s genre-fluid approach to music – they had, after all, thrown instrumental tracks into their last two albums – so an eclectic, all-instrumental concept album of soulful funk cuts with undulating basslines and simmering percussion was exactly in Beasties’ wheelhouse.

But this was the release that threw outsiders for a loop. Beastie Boys were no strangers to sampling – they’d mastered the art of it on Paul’s Boutique - but a warped, 70s funhouse collection completely devoid of vocals felt like a deep dive into the obscure.
