I'd check out From Filthy Tongue of Gods and Griots next. That album is about tied with Absence for favorite Dalek album status with me.

i downloaded "Deadverse Massive Vol. 1: Dälek Rarities 1999-2006" from sordo just because it was tagged drone/hip-hop and i was intruiged.. haven't given it a good listen yet though, probably gonna now

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you!

Experimental rap, its about time. Definately checking this out. I've had so much trouble finding rap/hip-hop with experimentation in it. Sure, many rappers blend genres, but not enough of them experiment with noise or dissonance. The only other rappers I know of that are more experimental are cLOUDDEAD and maybe Aesop Rock (although his work isn't really 'experimental' but it does blend genres and styles to create an oringal sound).

^^you should check out antipop consortium as well

Hmm, I seem to like Abandoned Language more than Absence. When is the new one coming out anyways? I'd love to give that a listen. Haven't listened to these guys in quite a while now. Think I'll get some of the earlier stuff till then.

I like Antipop Consortium, and i've been meaning to check out Dalek for some time, has anyone got any ups?

Gutter Tactics is stellar. Very dark and trippy.

I'm giving it a spin now. Dark and trippy, as you say. Very left-of-centre too - I like what I'm hearing

The new one is top notch.

Got a hold of it and it's very fresh. Haven't got a clue what the dude's saying but it doesn't put me off, it's nice to hear something this original. 2009's off to a good start!
