Green / Red Vinyl. Many Tribe fans consider the band's next album, 1993's Midnight Marauders, to be it's magnum opus. But you don't arrive at the perfect nocturnal LP without first releasing a focused work like The Low End Theory, which winnowed the colorful expanse of People's Instinctive Travels into a seamless listen. The Low End sounds minimal in comparison and is a mostly drum'n'bass record of subtle bells and whistles. Tribe represented freedom, and some 30 years after The Low End Theory, it's still a sonic marvel and one of the best hip-hop albums of all-time.
