The only one I know really well is Sculptured; it's quite good, if just a
bit *too* wildly eclectic -- early IDM, synth-pop, range-folk (w/ Lida
Husik), some kinda rap-thing.  It's cool just to look at the liners, where
he thanks probably the largest amount of artists ever seen on a scrap of
notes (definitely the widest range; LFO to Mahler to the Kinks).  
Check out the full-on skinny at:

As far as I know, all he's done lately is production, on Bjork's
Hyperballad (remix) and Husik's Faith in Space...
