Yeah, sorry I realized that and forgot to mention it. I'm not familiar with all of those, other than YNQ and Sound Directions (also one of my favorite Madlib releases ever).
I also like his production for strong arm steady. But I think my favorite Madlib releases have been Lootpack's Soundpieces: Da Antidote, one of the best hip hop albums ever made if you ask me, and Quasimoto's The Unseen.
"Come on Feet" should be acknowledged as a significant and influential precursor to the footwork music movement. It's one of my favorite hip hop instrumental tracks ever, and it creeps me out big time, which is good. Footwork has the same effect on me, and I think it's one of the more inspired sub-genres to emerge from electronic music in recent years.
Damned if I don't think Madlib can almost be credited with its unintentional invention.
