Mentions of Cronenberg's "Spider" made me think of films / books that simulate psychosis, not just preesenting it thematically but effectively bringing you into that state of a faulty consciousness. Other examples that come to mind.. Kafka, The Metamorphosis Evelyn Waugh , The Ordeal of...

only watched "The Life of Rhyme" so far but thought it was really well done, especially liked the relationship made between jamaican patois intonations and the rhythms of MCing in UK (and I guess jamaican music in general). Really great selection of MC's being interviewd doing verses aswell.

anyone know of some good ones? imdb & RT are useless.

does anyone else have a love for the 303? maybe something about the terrestrial/organic (i know a bit of a cliché) & the constantly changing nature of the sound but it definitely has an effect for me. What are your favorite uses/references? Heres some of my favorite of relativity recent uses...
