I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: Posford's side project
Shpongle put out a great disc called "Are You Shpongled?" at the end of last
year.  Very intricately programmed, a lot of attention paid to crafting the
sounds used -- and a live flute player.  Fun stuff; the last two tracks are
mindblowing.
