That's the sort of stuff i'm looking for, good beat to it but ambient enough to chill too. Nice work!

I've been working my way into trip hop, and picking up some staples like Portishead and Massive Attack. What are some of the off the trail records worth going for?

Lets see here...
I have ZERO death metal albums, and I think thats because I've been looking in the wrong places.
The only jazz album I own is Cosmos by Sun Ra, and it's not even on a format that I can listen to (its vinyl, and I lack a turntable).
The Only Post-rock Album I own is Lift your skinny fists... by GY!BL, and I love it, so I want to look more into that.
The only Post-Hardcore album I own is Relationship of Command by ATD-I, which is now one of my favorite albums.
Some accessible routes for these genres would be greatly appreciated.

I'm already on High Contrast, great stuff.

Aside from what Jackhammer mentioned, give Black Secret Technology by A Guy Called Gerald a spin - one of the essentials (if you don't have it already of course).

Timeless by Goldie's another good 'un too.

I don't know much opera at all, but what do you think of this....

Caruso - Luciano Pavarotti

On the version I have, Jeff Beck plays on it and it's incredible.

This isn't quite as mellow, but I like this track a lot too...

Gladiatore - Luciano Pavarotti

I listened to 'Escape the Fate' and they were awful. What is some good hardcore that is just plain brutal?
