Well Undi, have to applaud the range of your taste and quality control - your picks are never less than interesting.
I report as follows:
Karen O and Danger Mouse - WOMAN - Like it - leftfield pop music but still carries some power.
The Cinematic Orchestra - A Caged Bird/Imitations of Life (feat. Roots Manuva) - Having managed to get past the minor piano chord cliche it develops nicely although a touch dirgy for my taste.
Nightmares On Wax - Look Up - Probably my favourite of them all. Manages to be greater than the sum of it's parts and nice soulful vocals over strong but not obtrusive beats while not being hugely original.
Chaka Khan - Hello Happiness - Another like. More a dancer than a listener but a relentless bassline and groove in general and she can belt those vocals out.
Swindle & Ghetts - Drill Work - It's Brownswood which is a fair measure of quality. A little of that drill sound goes a long way but it is like nothing else and this is really nice with some great touches and a decent flow too.
Ian Brown - Ripples - As you say, it's OK.
