Fiery Madvillain
Two albums that amazed me yesterday on my first listen: Madvillain's Madvillainy and the Fiery Furnace's Blueberry Boat. Madvillainy is filled with MF Doom's incredibly descriptive but smooth lyrics and Madlib's obscure and odd (but always impressive) sample-filled production. The Fiery Furnaces' sophomore effort, Blueberry Boat, manages to be even more bluesy than their debut, fleshing out the tracks, making more use of synthesizers and overall a major step forward. Track this one down now that it has leaked.
