Don't forget Goldie, circa Innercity Life.

Mainstream milleniallist RnB/DnB? Yuck.
Hmm. That could have been a haiku.
Picked up the new We(tm) album, "The Square Root of Negative One" on
Asphodel. I'm surprised nobody on the list has mentioned it. It's tight,
more accessible than their previous. Lot's of creative, dubby grooves and
"illbeint" jungle. No vocals anywhere except for some interesting spoken
snippets. I guess backmasking (if that's the correct term) is their
signature sound.
Recommended.
