krush and madlib are the best

i've seen both live <3

 

[the_atomium]

what label were they on again?

stars of the lid? they are on kranky, mostly.
i'm not sure if they make music anymore, as Adam Wiltzie is now releasing solo stuff as The Dead Texan. which is also on kranky. huzzah.

Also check out Autechre, they make some awesomes stuff.

Though most people ever love em or hate em when they first hear them

 

[Abu Ghurayb]

Autechre are fucking overrated.

 

[artfag]

most of their stuff is trash, but tri repeatae & lp5 are still solid releases

 

[icecreamdisco]

mid-period autechre (from tri repetae to lp5) is awesome, and everything else is interesting at least. haven't heard their latest yet, tho.

the garbage ep (the second half of the second disc on tri++) is probably their greatest achievement, imo. vletrmx21 is the most amazing ambient track i've heard.

"No, I don't really think trip hop exists. Trip hop was a term to label and market a style of music which didn't exist and I'm saying, "Look, all this labelling is bullshit.' I've heard people say stuff like. ?I'm not really into rap, but I like trip hop. How could you get off to something called trip hop and not respect hip hop?" ....Kutmaster Kurt

 

[um..]

i forgot to quote spin, but yea my favourite of this genre is definately tricky. maxinquaye and pre millenium tension are two of my favourite albums
