Paul's Boutique - A sampler's masterpiece and a total tribute to 70's music and disco produced by the Dust Brothers w/ DJ Hurricane
Check your head - Combined hip hop with alt. rock and jazz. Saw the introduction of Ad Rock, MCA, and Mike D playing their own instruments (Since they started as an NYC punk group). Also brought in Mario Caldato on Hammond B3 organ and a separated percussionist. Produced by Mario C. (I think)
Ill Communication - Pretty much straightforward 90's hip-hop with more of the group's instrumental creations to augment their sound.
Hello Nasty -Futuristic hip-hop with a definite outerspace feel. Legenary Mixmaster Mike on the decks.
To the Five Burroughs - Meh, haven't really listened to it, so I can't really say.

I had no idea. I haven't even listened to all of
Paul's Boutique and I made this assumption. Now I'm going to have to listen to those. Thanks guys.
