I've really been enjoying me some hip hop lately, particularly along the lines of Jedi Mind Tricks, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien (Mostly Deltron 3030), Gang Starr, Aesop Rock and Pharoah Monch.

Can anyone give some recommendations on where to go next?

I'm a massive Boards of Canada fan, and have listened to all of their records a stupid amount of times. Can anyone recommend some similar artists who have that same style sound? I really love the creepy, nostalgic analog-y sound (i guess that's how you describe it) they've mastered.

I've done a lot of Ulrich Schnauss and Four Tet, which are sorta similar I guess.

At this point, there's an entire label doing this sort of thing. They're called Ghost Box and basically everything they've released is amazing, drawing from the shared memory of BBC sci-fi shows and public education films.

Examples:

Belbury Poly - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf1-uRJN61E
the Advisory Circle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3kFN05-N7U&feature=related
the Focus Group - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvhVqnm7U5I&feature=related

BTW, people are calling this stuff "hauntology" if you want to read up on it.

This rocks- exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a million friend!
