MF DOOM – Special Herbs Vol 1 & 2 [2 LP, Orange Vinyl]

Description

Metal Fingers Presents: Special Herbs Vol 1 & 2 showcases MF DOOM’s iconic production work under the Metal Fingers moniker, presenting two volumes of his celebrated instrumental series in a single package. Issued as a striking 2LP set on orange vinyl (“mustard yellow”) emphasizes both sound and presentation. The die-cut gatefold jacket, rolling paper insert, and promotional sticker bring an underground touch true to DOOM’s aesthetic.

Musically, the record delivers DOOM’s signature blend of dusty loops, cinematic textures, and hypnotic beats. “Sumac Berries” unfolds with eerie strings and layered percussion, “Fenugreek” locks into a head-nodding groove built from classic soul fragments, and “Monosodium Glutamate” hits with abstract intensity. Across both volumes, the tracks stand as self-contained instrumentals while also recalling his broader catalog through beats later re-purposed on full vocal albums.

The package feels designed for fans who appreciate DOOM’s craft at every level. The vinyl pressing carries a warm, direct sound that highlights the grit of his crate-digging style. With its die-cut gatefold presentation, limited edition promotional elements, and clever insert, the set has the personality of an artifact rather than a standard reissue, offering collectors a memorable physical edition.
