* I really don't like Kode9's album but his work on singles is great: the remix of 'Find My Way', '9 Samurai', the Junior Boys remix, etc.
* Moving Ninja 'Formations' EP (just picked it up). 'Kemancheh' is great ultra-dark stoner tribal shit that lacks the 'clubbing a man with a lead pipe' vibe common to the Vex'd-type stuff above.
* The Bug appears to own over all things raggatastical.
* I categorize Various Production as the Massive Attack of this whole wave.
Many of my favorite tracks I've just heard on mixes and never ID'd. I also am realllllllly reluctant to buy anything that isn't MP3...
