Gonjasufi - The Caliph's Tea Party - REMIXES

Senking - List

Foscil - Foscil

A very nice jazzy instrumental hip-hop album that employs lots of live instrumentation. They are a Seattle quartet consisting of 3/4th of the electronic group Truckasauras (who I've known about for some time but have never paid much attention to - aside from seeing the end of their set opening for Plaid a few years ago), plus horn/woodwind player Anthony Moore. Very mellow and downtempo at times, while more upbeat, glitchy and hip-hop at others. The overall vibe is pretty chill though, probably good for smoking herb. And it really doesn't feel all that hip-hop at all...great mellow horns and other percussion. A shame it's so under the radar. The song "Glitter Gulch" is amazing. I would post up a few vids but the only 2 available that represent this album won't play for some reason. Fucking LameTube.

nicki minaj - pink friday

Tortoise - A Lazarus Taxon

bardo pond - s/t

SoiSong - xAj3z

Efterklang - Magic chairs

DJ Vadim - U.S.S.R. Repertoire (The Theory of Verticality)

It's a little long but it's damn good instrumental hip-hop. Stays interesting to the end, IMO. Last night I was listening the U.S.S.R.: The Art of Listening, an old favorite, on which he has a ton of really great MCs. Solid abstract hip-hop right there.

Hautile recommended this in CHATMM. Love it.

Leafcutter John - The Forest And The Sea

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma - Love Is A Stream

gza/genius & dj muggs - grandmasters

The Future Sound of London - Cascade
