Yeah I mean there's no specific genre called "instrumental hip hop" but there are DJs/Producers who produce it I know.

Nothing comes even close to the genius of that album. Call it what you want Ambient, Downtempo, Chill Out, its just pure bliss.

It takes a real cultured listener to enjoy the Ninja Tune style stuff but Coldcut pwns.

Honestly I don't care if people clean house, some like it dirty and messy (houses I mean)

Lots of people might be confused here because the lines between downtempo/ambient and chill out are blurred and to me, its all calm music. Pork Recordings came out with some dopeass downtempo compilations but the problem like Ninja tunes, it goes off into the experimentalism world, with sound samples thrown in like crack.

76:14 is still the landmark album, followed closely by Higher Intelligence Agency/Biosphere'd Polar Sequences.

Perhaps a little Boards of Canada would help.

the colloboration of Spook

tracks like Fall,Running Away and the cover of The Cure's Lullaby absolutely sublime

Spook - The Dusk Sessions (album) more info here and Spook-Myspace

Originally posted by meneedit DJ Shadow, now theres an interesting character. Years ago everybody was like "Oh, ya gotta get 'Endtroducing' by DJ Shadow". Soooo many people were saying that, so I thought "what have I got to lose?". hmmmm. I'm still not quite sure where to stand with DJ Shadow. "Endtroducing" has so many of those 1:00 tracks that dont actually contain any music.

There's a total of about four minutes of skits in over an hour of music. How can that significantly affect anything?

I also love the skits in Entroducing. Adds just a little bit of humour.
