Let's do it - it's just as 'on topic' as some of the other stuff people want to discuss. Futuristic hip-hop I'm appreciating at the moment: *Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain OK, I have just discovered that this is in fact -MF Doom! No wonder I like it so much. Muffled 303 and 808s, unashamed synthiness and a love of eschewing the obvious, make this something I'd recommend to this list. One small patch of dubious lyrical content but mostly it's sound. You might also want to check out Madlib and MF Doom's Madvillain project. LP is due in a few days: http://www.stonesthrow.com/madvillain/ I heard an EP of a collaboration of Doom & Lib a few weeks ago - *on Bluenote* (but I'd totalled my record allowance so didn't buy). That was also very good. Sorry the name escapes me. Check here: http://www.bluenote.com/artistpage.asp?ArtistID=3718&tab=1 *Mr Lif - I Phantom. This is now quite old (2002?) Emile recently turned me on to it. It's brilliant. A lot of the same qualities as MFD but a lot more aware lyrically and I think more club-friendly too. *Boom Bip - Seed To Sun - again I'm late on this. Mostly good. But some noodly and indie-sounding moments which is not for me. Mostly very painterly with shades of dementia. And I do regard it as hip-hop. Mostly! *Masterminds - Subliminal EP. With Mr Lif 'No Test Redux'. Again I'm so late with this (it's from 2001) - but then again, I think many copies have been loitering in vaults for the last three years as the shop said they'd never seen them till now. - 'Subliminal' is filtered rock-riff hip-hop before OutKast and it's highly, highly recommended. 'No Test Redux' is a avant-downbeat loop to lose track of time to. Sweetly put together. k
