Music

The above all sample the same sort of funk, soul and jazz records you'd expect to hear sampled on instro hip hop records (and don't do a lot of chopping, like Shadow doesn't); I did not recommend them purely because they are sampley. I made a conscious effort to stick to that and not recommend a lot of great house records that are nothing but disco samples.

I think you may have taken my irrelevant digression on Since I Left You the wrong way, I was just agreeing with you that it was a bad comparison is all. I didn't mean to make it sound like I thought you were just recommending me stuff that had samples in it. I did see what you were going for with the more danceable stuff and enjoyed it all. After I wrote my last post I went back and listened to Endtroducing again and they enabled me to hear new angles to it, so kudos.
