Yes, get Bricolage. More of the same great work. Get his ep (I forget
the name - Chomp Samba?) too.
Amon Tobin to me fits in somewhat the same vein as WE and Tipsy, a kind
of creepy world of fucked up beats and a
"history-of-20th-century-popular-music" sampling vibe, so I would check out
their respective albums (and their several interesting remixes of each
other). Boards of Canada has some incredibly compelling sonic 'contexts' as
well. (Personally, I throw Hard Normal Daddy into this family as well, but
that's just me.)
Definately check out Laika, too. Like Amon, they use some incredibly
rich rhythmic structures more akin to bebop and afro-cuban jazz than to
hip-hop/d&b.
Land of the Loops is similar in terms of sampling, although his
programming is pretty simplistic by comparison and many of his samples
pretty generic. I'm sure DJ Spooky's new record employs a degree of eclectic
musicological sampling, but again almost all of his samples are either from
those "1000 breakbeats" CD collections or some pretty fucking obvious vinyl
sources. Actually, forget about these two.
