The Unseen is the debut studio album by Quasimoto, an alter ego of producer Madlib, released on June 13, 2000 under Stones Throw Records. The album was conceived and recorded by Madlib during a week long psilocybin mushroom binge.[1] Upon its release, it received much praise from underground heads and from mainstream media, making it onto Spin Magazine's top albums of the year list. The Unseen was re-released in 2005 as a deluxe edition with a bonus CD containing the instrumental version of the album.
