Amon Tobin - Bricolage
Spring Heel Jack - Busy Thirsty Curious
Photek - Modus Operandi
Squarepusher - Hard Normal Daddy

All are ostensibly Drum & Bass, but stray so far from the orthodoxy of
conventional D&B that they have almost nothing in common with D&B other
than certain drum programming techniques (importantly, not the sounds,
just the techniques).  Name an album that sounds remotely like any  of
these.  To me, they're as far apart as SAW I is from Adventures Beyond The
Ultraworld.

Autechre - Chiastic Slide

Ae continues to forge their own path, to the point where there are now
people trying to emulate their style from Incunabula onwards.
