Madlib remixed my favorite rap album in forever: Madvilliany (only Ghostface's Pretty Toney Album comes close). It's called Madvilliany 2: The Madlib Remix and it's blowing up the blogs, so I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon. You can download it for 9.99 here. Madlib took the vocals from the original (spit hot like fire by MF Doom) and completely redid the tracks.

This is from the original album (remix is too fresh for videos)


And if that isn't enough of that kind of music (how do you describe this stuff?) check out Oh No's 2007 slept on classic Dr. No's Oxperiment. It came out around the same time as his brother Madlib's (see the connections here, the go deep) Beat Konducta Vol 3-4: Beat Konducta in India, which all about exploring Indian music. Here, Oh No digs through crates full of Mediterainian sounds from Turkey, Lebanon, Greece, and India. None of the 28 tracks hit the two minute mark, so a sample is hard to come by.
