Project Polaroid - "Project Polaroid"
2006
One and only album from the duo of Kool Keith and TomC3. This probably falls somewhere in the middle, quality wise, as far as Kool Keith's career goes. It's a good album, but it's not stellar like some of his albums are.

Pretty Lights - "Taking Up Your Precious Time"

Nice downtempo instrumental stuff. It's honestly hard to tell what is live instrumentation and what is samples at times on here.

Pharrell - "In My Mind"
2006
Solo debut from Pharrell Williams. This album never really stuck with me. I always enjoyed N.E.R.D. and I enjoy a decent percentage of his production output, but this just never landed for me.

Electronic producer and DJ from the UK. He hit the scene around 1992 and is still currently active. He's also released under several aliases as well. I just found out doing the research for this that he is also Paradox, which I never knew before.

Peeping Tom - "Peeping Tom"
2006
This is arguably my favorite Mike Patton project and i'm a huge fan of his whole career. I feel like this was fine tuned to my particular sensibilities. Pretty much a lock for my top 5 and has a shot at my #1 spot.
