Amon Tobin

Amon Tobin is a name rarely mentioned among friends. That's a shame, as this man is clearly a genius. You do need to be in the right state of mind for most of his music as its pretty... radical?

Genre: Experimental Electronic, Atmospheric, Ambient, Jazz on Drugs?
General Mood: Psychotic, Uplifting, Energizing

You do not want to try and listen to this music in the background while doing something else. This music requires all of your attention or you'll miss just how much depth has been created. It is unbelievable how many sounds he uses in a given track.

Here are some albums well worth checking out:

(1997) Bricolage

(1998) Permutation

(2000) Supermodified

(2002) Out From Out Where

WARNING: Most other music will seem dull after listening to too many Amon Tobin tracks in a row.
