First of all, anybody who's a fan of Tipsy should check out the "Organ 
Transplant" CD's by Stock, Hausen, and Walkman. I personally like Volume 1 
a 
bit better. It's a very similar idea, except SHW's tracks don't get quite 
as 
repetitive as Tipsy's.

I also love "Descargas" by Los Samplers (aka Atom Heart). It's a CD of 
cha-cha, samba and mambo music that's chopped up, severely tweaked through 
granular synthesis and bit rate reduction, then rearranged to create new 
cha-cha, salsa, and mambo music. Other great related band projects by Atom 
Heart include Midisport, Geez 'N' Gosh, and Senior Coconut (best known for 
salsa covers of Kraftwerk songs).

Alog - "Red Shift Swing" Most people who've heard this describe it as 
'Oval 
meets Tortoise'. There's a lot more to it, though. This disc is full of 
warm 
drones and skips, source recordings, and things that could best be 
described 
as 'musical dissolves'.

Dead Voices On Air - "Shap" A fantastic disc of organic, textural loops of 
found objects, vocals, and simple string/percussion instruments. This is 
one 
of those guys who's live setup would simply be a few mic's run into 
loopers, 
and a pile of playable junk aroud him. It's about 5 years old now, but any 
looping people who haven't heard it yet should give it a listen.
