All those albums are seminal in my life tooI can relate to a lot of what you wrote. Gone off DJ Shadow these days though. Not sure why. He seems a bit boring or something.

Shadow's recent stuff is shitEndtroducing, Psyence Fiction, his early releases on Mo Wax like In/Flux, the Krush collaboration (Hardcore Hip Hop is a classic), Quannum, Handsome Boy Modeling School, all that stuff was fantastic. The Private Press was nearly as good, but The Outsider is painfully gash.
Ditto Spiritualized. Let It Come Down was alright, but Amazing Grace and the recent ones have been dull, dull, dull. Never the same after after Spaceman sacked the band and brought in session musos.

Songs in A&E has its charmI still listen more to the older stuff though.

Pretty much my opinion tooI got into DJ Shadow at Uni a few years ago, first the Private Press and then finding everything he did before, the UNKLE stuff, etc. I was horribly disappointed by the Outsider :/
Edit: Thinking about it, I might have actually while being a little silly mentioned Entroducing and Radiohead's Kid A in my dissertation acknowledgements...
