Hey Amon Tobin.

Donâ€™t want to go off on a tangent but.. strange album is Supermodified. Slowly is in my top three 'best songs of all time'. I don't care for the rest of the album but 'Slowlyâ€™ - - just an astonishingly beautiful track.

Four Tet - "Rounds", Wire - "Send" (get it from http://www.posteverything.com/pinkflag/ - cheaper and comes with a free live CD), anything at all by Boards of Canada.

If you wanted non-electronicish stuff (the Wire album is basically punk rock created via ProTools), that'd be much easier

Page two and no mention of Lemon Jelly yet?

Better rectify that then.

Oh, I have.

Both albums: 'Supermodified' and 'Out From Out Where' are pretty cool.

He also has an earlier album titled 'Bricolage' which has some nice numbers on it.

'Slowly' is definitely a work of mad-arse genius.... Out Here from Out Where was a bit of a let down in comparison....

If you like that sort of thing I would also recommend Bonobo (try 'Magicman' for a sample), and possibly the recent Minotaur Shock album (Chiff-Chaffs and Willow Warblers).

Fings what I have been listening to of an electronic bent....

Adult. - excellent Electro nonsense... 'Hand to Phone' stand out track
Zongamin - just plain hatstand.... 'Double Dostiev' stand out track

On a very different tangent, 'Black Dollar Bills' by Hope of the States is my single of the year so far.
