This ain't strictly on topic for 313 or idm but I do recommend you check
out my friend Tack Fu's new CD. Produced with local talent from Iowa City
(where?) it carves out it's own space between hip hop and illbient, with
a combination of deep thrift store samples, turntablism and able rappers
that have vocabularies and imaginations larger than their bank accounts
and egos.

Note that I'm terribly biased -- I did postproduction on this disc, and
tack is a sometime collaborator of mine. But if ever there was a self
produced project that deserves to be heard, this is it. I am going
to work with Tack to get some real audio up for your listening pleasure.
