 Future Shock (Music)
comment
Future Shock is the 35th studio album by jazz icon Herbie Hancock. Released in 1983 through Columbia Records, the album marks a shift to a much more electronic sound influenced by the nascent Hip-Hop and electro scenes. It was one of the best-selling albums of his career, especially thanks to the international hit "Rockit", which popularized scratching and was a Trope Codifier for the electro genre.

New Sound Album: Back in 1983 this was the first album by a jazz artist to feature hiphop and electro influences. The scratching sounds by Grand Mixer D.S.T. on turntables were also innovative.

comment
Trope Codifier: "Rockit" was the very first pop hit to include rhythmic record scratching on turntables and introduce it to future generations of DJs.

Shout-Out: The album title is a nod to Curtis Mayfield's song "Future Shock", as well as the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. Future Shock has a shout-out to both Superfly and What's Going On? by Marvin Gaye.
