Kelpe Ex-Aquarium (2008)

Well I've listened to this a few times now and can truly say it's pretty damn great. Really phenomenal instrumental beats/hip hop/electronica with live drums (sometimes), and other cool things going on... like a beat based off of a ping pong ball bouncing around. Check it out if you haven't yet, it's quite tasty. Props to Sidewinder for letting MB know about it!

Fontanelle Fontanelle (2000)

I don't have a ton to say about this album, but it's good. Quiet, subtle, brooding jazz fusion, with some nice kruatrock influence. Think later Miles Davis mixed with Can. The band leaves a lot of room to let you hear exactly what each band member is doing, and doesn't just throw sound at you... and as much as I like free jazz, it works well here to be quiet. Though I haven't listened to anything else from them, from what I hear, their latest album (released this year) is actually very loud, funky, and busy, so it'll be interesting to contrast the two sounds.
