Yes, get Bricolage. More of the same great work. Get his ep (I forget the name - Chomp Samba?) too. Amon Tobin to me fits in somewhat the same vein as WE and Tipsy, a kind of creepy world of fucked up beats and a "history-of-20th-century-popular-music" sampling vibe, so I would check out their respective albums (and their several interesting remixes of each other). Boards of Canada has some incredibly compelling sonic 'contexts' as well. (Personally, I throw Hard Normal Daddy into this family as well, but that's just me.) Definately check out Laika, too. Like Amon, they use some incredibly rich rhythmic structures more akin to bebop and afro-cuban jazz than to hip-hop/d&b. Land of the Loops is similar in terms of sampling, although his programming is pretty simplistic by comparison and many of his samples pretty generic. I'm sure DJ Spooky's new record employs a degree of eclectic musicological sampling, but again almost all of his samples are either from those "1000 breakbeats" CD collections or some pretty fucking obvious vinyl sources. Actually, forget about these two. - Cf

we reminds me too much of fsol( and do i dare say it??) i hate fsol, most boring pretentious idm band ive heard ill definetely check into the rest, boc is on my playlist as much as permutation right now... their beats arent as elegantly sampled since their all dmachined..... and hard normal daddy is upbeat, but does resemble the vibe im looking for...
