The Deep Concentration compilation was a compilation of experimental Hip Hop focusing om Turntablist, ambient, illbient,and the experimental. Probably one of my low key favorite records of the 90′s. Worth a listen.
Dark Star (John Carpenter, 1974) X "Boris" (The Melvins, 1991)
This low budget D.I.Y. sci-fi classic started as a USC film school project and launched the careers of John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) and Dan O'Bannon (writer of Alien). Its slow, deliberate pacing pairs well with this sludgy epic by the Melvins, which is possibly my favorite doom/stoner metal jam of all time AND the namesake for the Japanese metal group, Boris.
