2008, Warp Records

Graduating from Aphex Twin's Rephlex label to Warp, UK producer/DJ Leila pulls out all the stops on Blood, Looms and Blooms. From collaborating with chanteuse (and muse to Tricky and Danger Mouse) Martina Topley Bird, to incorporating everything from deep techno to postmodern hip-hop and classic soundtrack styles, Blood, Looms and Blooms is the most original album you're likely to hear in 2008.
