I'm trying to get into it again but I'm not sure where to start, or if it's really changed...

I like Clouddead's first album and Alias' The Other Side Of The Looking Glass. The whole Anticon thing seems like a minefield to me... there's some great stuff and a lot of rush-released horseshit.

clouddeads "ten" is one of my favourite albums of all time. and I agree that the early anticon times where higher quality tested :) but there still some of the best hip hop produced. also like some stuff from alias

i own most clouddead and Alias releases. good stuff but i'm looking for something deeper. So far i love the deltron 3030 i just checked out.
More in this style please!

It sounds like you should check out other albums produced by El-P then.

Al, Automator is one dude. As in Dan The Automator. And he's actually done a TON of awesome stuff:

-Both Handsome Boy Modeling School albums with Prince Paul
-Deltron 3030 w/ Del
-The first Gorillaz album (and it's G-SIDES companion)
-Lovage with Mike f'ing Patton

and a buttload more. Check his wiki, and know that if he touched it's probably golden.

I disagree. If you dont like it, that's fine, but it deserves it's acclaim. It's an album that is applauded by hardcore hip hop heads, critics AND people who dnt even like rap music! That's no small feat. The last time I can remember a MAINSTREAM, major label rap album pulling that off to the same degree was Jay-Z's BLACK ALBUM. Know what I mean?

greedrex 10.03.2008 12:24 PM
it's okay to ba gay.
this board kinda looks like this.

oh shit, yes I know him. I mixed it up with "automato" which is a NY based band who play their instruments live. but as if they were sampled, pretty interesting laid back stuff. and I got their debut lying around but havent followed what theyve done afterwards
dan the automtor is great for sure
