Angles Without Edges is the debut album by hip hop producer Madlib's jazz project, Yesterdays New Quintet. Presented as a fictional quintet or virtual band, Yesterdays New Quintet consists of members Monk Hughes, Ahmad Miller, Joe McDurfey, Malik Flavors, and Otis Jackson Jr, all pseudonyms used by Madlib (with the exception of Otis Jackson Jr, which is the producer's legal name). The album was released in 2001 by Stones Throw Records on compact disc and vinyl record.

Though not entirely devoid of samples, Madlib used this album to experiment with live instrumentation, recording in his studio and arranging the recordings.
