Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um

The first time I listened to this, I had my volume on low. Big mistake. Upon turning up the volume, I took note of all the detail in the music. Rich and flavorful jazz, with songs ranging from ballads to upbeat bebop. Catchy rhythms and leads, especially by the saxophonists. Mingus and the crew are geniuses.

We™ - As Is

Chill out to a great mix of drum and bass, ambient, hip-hop, and trip-hop, featuring unique atmospheres and the ever-so-popular amen break samples.

Antaeus - Blood Libels

No fucking bullshit, straight to the point. Raw, blasting, loud, abrasive black metal in your face. I don't know why I've always hesitated to check this out.
