My suggestions (aside from cLOUDEAD/Them/Dose One and Company Flow, which is
where this thread started I think) would be the Valis I compilation on
Subharmonic, Ice's "Bad Blood" album (although I personally hated it, and
I'm an enormous Kevin Martin fanatic), Funkstorung (another one I personally
don't feel), and Prefuse73's "Estrocaro E.P." (which I only last week
discovered I've been playing at the wrong speed, but I can't get into it at
45 for some reason). Although not *real* out there, Def Harmonic (on
Wobblyhead Records) are definately not mundane.
If by 'hip hop' you simply mean breakbeat, check out anything by
Q-Bert/Invisibl Skratch Pikelz, Mr. Dibbs/1200 Hobos (particularly the
amazing 'Presage' album), or DJ Krush (I think its safe to assume everyone
and their mom knows about DJ Shadow already).
Naturally opinions are bound to differ, but Kool Keith and Anti-Pop
Consortium are just being different for the sake of it, which is not
necessarily a bad thing, but experimentation it is not.
