Book excerpt: 1998 saw the release of UNKLE's Psyence Fiction, an album created by James Lavelle and DJ Shadow with guests including Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Beastie Boys Mike D. The album had been years in the making with James Lavelle becoming unsatisfied with UNKLE and their early Trip Hop sound. This led to recording sessions being abandoned, including an entire albums worth of material before Lavelle brought in DJ Shadow to create a new sound for UNKLE. This book details the life of James Lavelle as he moved from local DJ, record label owner, and musician with the release of Psyence Fiction.
