Ugh, it's really a shame that I feel some folks are going to crap on the "drone" tracks even though they're really great. I guess if you don't have a predilection for music of that sort they might seem off-putting, but these two pieces are seriously fantastic, on par with folks like Pelt and Charlemagne Palestine.

And I go back to 21 & Over and Enta Da Stage much more over Doggystyle. It is a great, classic album, but yeah, it's already so ubiquitous and ingrained in EVERY strain of pop culture that I'm sure nothing new would be said in a column like this.
