Well, although the other artists on pork are still very good, it's not a
direct conclusion that if you like Fila B you'll like the rest.

Solid Doctor, being half of Fila Brazillia, is the only one that i'd say if
you like FB you're sure to like. Same kind of sounds. I don't have "Beats
means Highs" but "How about some ether" is right along the same as the
first two Fila albums.

Heights of Abraham was the only vocal group on pork, and "Humidity" may be
my favorite album on pork. Deep, jazzy, trippy, sax. Buy this album soon.

Baby Mammoth and Bullitnuts aren't as varied as FB. BM is more like
straight instrumental hip-hop backbone with "trip hop" stuff over it.
"Another Day at the Orifice" is highly recommended as probably thier best.
The 'Nuts are more dubbier and funkier, but i have a hard time summing up
the "feel" that can make me pick out thier songs right when i hear them.

Akotcha released one album, and they're good, somewhere between mid-school
aphex twin, purple penguin, and the pork camp.

Moss has just release an album on pork. "East Coast Chip Shop." He's a
clarinetist and flautist for Fila, but most of the album is produced by
Bullitnuts. Good stuff, but not too standout.

My top album recommendations from pork are (in order as of today's opinion):
Fila "Maim that Tune"
Fila "Power Clown" (by here you should be hooked on Fila and get the rest)
Heights of Abraham "Humidity"
baby mammoth "...Orifice"
Solid Doctor "How about some Ether"
Bullitnuts "Nut Roast"
And, if you feel like it, Akotcha "Sound Burger"
