just remembered my sputnik anniversary was a week ago, 3 years wow list is top 5 albums I discovered from each of those years (not necessarily released in said year)
after years of not knowing where to find nighttime jams, Mezzanine turned me on to trip-hop but more importantly laid the stepping stones for albums such as....
...this. It didn't really click with me at first but when I jammed Los Angeles for the first time I fell in love with the entire LA scene of abstract hip-hop.
