Anyone listen to much Tipper or Amon Tobin, for example?

Tipper is well-known for his extreme bass frequencies, complex breakbeats, and synthesizer mastery. He's pretty much able to recreate any sound you can possibly imagine and sculpt it as music. Yes, in fact that does include your favorite auditory hullucinations if you listen to the album The Seamless Unspeakable Something. He not only flawlessly recreates the spongey, organic, raw sound of a high dose of mushrooms in "Odd Form Every Angle" but he continues to astound by recreating the synapse-drenched abrupt noise heard on a high dose of LSD in "Spun Cookie".

Amon Tobin is an award winning composer who uses exclusively sampled sounds to make music. This can be anything from water to jazz basses to metal pipes, and he pulls it off in such a way that you don't ever think "Oh, I know what made that sound!" unless he actually wants you to know. In the album Foley Room he explores sounds made from pretty much every object you can think of. Most of his music will remind you of trippy film noir jazz or spy music underwater. You'll see what I mean.

I really love artists who can unlock sounds we haven't ever heard before in music. It's time to evolve from simple guitar chords and piano backing. haha Of course, I may be biased since I'm an audiophile to a ridiculous degree.

Tipper is by far my favorite producer. I'll be seeing him perform on NYE.:thumbup:

I'm a big fan of cEvin Key's "The Dragon Experience". It's sort of an electronic/ambient concept album. using old movie dialogue it tells a broken-up story of some delusional person suffering from schizophrenia or something, and colors it with some beautiful synth/percussion compositions.

I liked Amon Tobin's "supermodified" it almost had a narrative fantasia'esque quality to it. lots of color and vibrance.

also if you're an industrial fan, check out Front 242's "02:96:42:OFF" (or whatever those numbers are)
it has pretty traditional song composition, but I find the album works very well as a unified experience, with many reoccuring song motifs. lots of really dark amazing synth programming, and a scary female vocalist.
