OK guys time for a nice big post.
First off, here is my current favorite dubstep artist/album.
Distance - My Demons

(Sorry for megaupload, not my link, but it works great and I don't want to split the file up.)
SO GOOD
Turn the bass the fuck up for this one. Oh my God. To give an idea of what you're in for, here's a YouTube link for the first track. Max your subwoofer out.
Distance - Night Vision This is the track that got me hooked on this guy, but "Traffic," "Mistral," and "Cyclops" are at least as good.
I'll let the link speak for the music. If I had to describe it myself, I'd describe it as getting slowly, forcefully, lovingly fucked in the brain by an mutated Rastafarian alien with hallucinogenic precum.
I have tons more dubstep ... some compilations, a couple albums (Benga, Skream, Boxcutter, Burial, a few others), and a few huge single-track mixes. If this gets a good reaction I'll be putting up way more.
Lightnin' Rod - The Hustlers Convention

Remember how, when I posted that album by Baby Huey and the Babysitters, I mentioned that people referred back to it as one of the founding influences of rap? This guy Lightnin' Rod (aka Jalal Nuriddin) is basically as close to being the inventor of rap as anyone. This album is from 1973. That's OLD when it comes to rap. Hell, he cut a track with Jimi Hendrix once. Lightnin' Rod is the real fucking deal. This album is more of a piece of poetry set to funk/soul background music and some radio-show-style accompanying sound effects, and it's all one story, so it's not exactly something to put on at the next party to get people on the dance floor. It's not even really a "song" or collection thereof. It's more than worth the listen though. Highly recommended.
Oh, and someone mentioned something about ... I think the phrase was "crazy hypnotic psychadelic jam band albums that is just 1 song that goes on for 60 hours" so I figured I'd put one up.
Acid Mothers Temple - Nam Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo
http://www.mediafire.com/?ch5a2yjmdfm
This is, you guessed it, a crazy hypnotic psychedelic jam album that is just one song that goes on for ... well, 65 minutes, actually. I highly doubt that very many people will listen through the whole thing willingly if they have not previously put some pretty serious shit in their heads first, but I'm open to being surprised. This is, as requested, Jefferson Airplane
hopelessly, irretrievably overdosed on Valium. It's really droney, but there's a lot going on in the in-between spaces ... makes for quite a head trip.
There is a FUCKTON more Acid Mothers Temple where that came from, too, if people like it.
Just for kicks, here's a sweet post-metal album. Think Rosetta, Daturah, Jakob, all that good stuff. Big, heavy, atmospheric, and really really good. If you've gotten used to enjoying the kind of things I put up you'll probably like this a lot. Anyone who enjoys the idea of adding the prefix "post-" to their music will really get into this, it's got some nice ambient bits too.
Meniscus - Absence of I
