the jaga jazzist collaboration with 'motorpsycho' is also worth checking out. especially their cover of the art ensemble of chicago's 'theme de yoyo'. TAEoC is another group well worth checking out if you're not familiar with them as well.
Cool. Yeah, despite having lived in Chicago for a long time, I'm not familiar with The Art Ensemble of Chicago but after what I just read about them on Wikipedia I'm intrigued to say the least. I'll definitely check out the other stuff you mentioned too.
