Just going off the top of the dome here...
for what its worth, I like Very Mercanery over both of those other Herbaliser albums.
I really dig Anti-Pop Consortium, but I wasn't too into the Beans solo. I think its kind of a sum-is-greater-than-the-parts scenario. Anyhow, I think I still like Tragic Epilogue the best, but you can't go wrong with Arrythmia.
DEFINITELY investigate Wu-Tang. 36 Chambers is a good place to start. GZA's Liquid Swords is awesome. The ODB albums are patchy, but hilarious all the same. There is gold to be found in almost all the various solo albums. And then you can go off on a thousand different RZA tangents, but I've been digging on the old Gravediggaz stuff recently. Bobby Digi too.
