picked this album up on a whim since id heard it mentioned a few times on the list, after four or five listens ive become absorbed by it, all the samples are so bloody fresh! they sound as if theyve been lifted off lots of bigband and jazz records from the 50's, very lush warm sound to it all.... quite a change from a lot of stuff ive heard from the genre.... the only artists im familiar with from ninja tunes are amon tobin and kid koala, ive neglected to listen too funci porcini for some reason, caught the tiniest jab at a track on dj foods new release, not enough to judge if i like it or not... my main question is what other releases might i look for with the same "attitude" as permutation, im mostly infatuated with the context of the sounds and the lack of real shorn crisp sounds(like lp5, which i adore), sampled vinyl that wouldnt be considered hip hop, im already planning on picking up bricolage when i see it next input would be appreciated _william
