Characterized by sultry soul and jazz samples, the album saw a more polished sound than the duo's debut \u003cem\u003eMecca \u0026amp; The Soul Brother\u003c\/em\u003e, building on the praise that they had already garnered. \u003cem\u003eThe Main Ingredient\u003c\/em\u003e is notable for its snappy, crispy drums and extensive use of vocal scratches. It contains some of the duo's best-known work, in the form of tracks such as the upbeat \"In The House\", and the catchy \"Sun Won't Come Out\", which features a lush vocal sample from the song of the same name by Harvey Scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinuing a theme initiated by \u003cem\u003eMecca and the Soul Brother\u003c\/em\u003e, brief instrumental interludes are placed at the beginning and end of songs. Except for just a few tracks, this feature is recurrent throughout the album. In addition, \u003cem\u003eThe Main Ingredient\u003c\/em\u003e saw Rock fleshing out and defining his trademark production style, which is now recognized for often containing smooth basslines, swirling horns, filtered samples, and spacious grooves. The production on this album proved to be influential upon a legion of latter-day producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCelebrating its 30\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e anniversary\u003cem\u003e The Main Ingredient\u003c\/em\u003e is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl and includes an insert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49978718486770,"sku":"MOVLP1634C","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/PRock2_1.png?v=1787663898","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/the-main-ingredient-limited-transparent-yellow-2lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
