Busdriver
Jhelli Beam [ Epitaph Records / CD - released 15/Jun/2009 ] On 'Jhelli Beam', Busdriver's legendarily breath-defying flow teeters precariously on top of samples of classical music, jazz drumming and proggy guitar parts, without ever losing sight of the electronic music that helped define his sound. |
Massive Attack
Heligoland [ EMI Music / CD - released 8/Feb/2010 ] Featuring guest vocals from long time cohort, Horace Andy; Martina Topley-Bird; Damon Albarn; Hope Sandoval; and Tunde Adebimpe, 'Heliogland' has a remarkably distinct sound from any of Massive Attack's earlier works, at times even recalling Nick Cave. |
