Executive Suite and the Antidote are not just great Hip-Hop/Trip-Hop/Big Beat albums, but incredible albums full stop!
Their solo stuff is just as awesome - Theo does amazing house records as both Fake Blood and Touche and Paul (Regal) still does some of the funkeiest breakbeat records you ever hear. I would also reccomend their side-projects, The Black Ghosts (Theo) and The Bronx Dogs (Paul) too
