Diminishing returns is already out I think. It's not cheap and doesn't seem readily available. Perhaps it's only imports i've seen? But i'm waiting to find it for a little less than the £20 I've seen it advertised for so far!!!
Michael, Aim has nothing to do with me sorry. I believe someone else reccomended them. I'll gladly take all future praise though
As for when does hip hop end and other forms begin......
I'd class Shadow as hip hop. Without an mc/rapper/vocalist, it is far MOre beat dependant. SCIDB wrote a great post on the thread over on GH IIRC. Mentioned "turntablist" I guess that's the area of hip hop Mr Shadow can be filed
To me, the MOre confusing bit is, when is it hip hop, when is it rap? I tend to think of hip hop as a musical/beat description, and rap for when it's with mc. But then, what about hip hop with vocals? I tend to find myself refering to what I like as hip hop (vocal or not), and what I don't as rap. But, I do think it's MOre to do with the music side of things that defines what I refer to it as.
endtroducing is probably my fav' non *vocal* hip hop album, while Dr Octagons "Octagynacologyst" is probably my fav' *vocal* hip hop album.
Just got Kid Koalas "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" a week or two ago and he's very much in the turntablist camp! Shows some top cutting and scratching. Uses the scratch noises as an instrument in itself! Get's a nice saxaphone sound going! Got Krush "Code 4109" playing now.
For hip hop. I think they were just looking for a nother name
It's still hip hop of a sort, but tends to be quite minimalist, dark, chill out at times. Obvious names, Portishead, Tricky, Massive Attack, and shock horror! Someone from outside bristol! Archive. I was playing Archives Londinium last night and it's a top top album.

Very 80's and rocky and absolutely nothing in common with the trippy first album. Not bad though, but not as good as "Felt Mountain".
Someone just playing random slow chords on a solo piano :SLEEP:
