Only heard some of their early stuff. Really like Tutankhamun.

Malachi Favors had a really cool name.

Thing about the AACM (that AEoC came out of) in this month's Wire magazine.

yes, very fine :)

favourite LPs: Certain Blacks, Urban Bushmen

though Full Force is perhaps a better one to start with
