So, what albums stand out in your minds as far as the rhythm and percussion is concerned, and why? And try to add more then just Squarepusher, Aphex Twin, or Autechre if you can! :)
I really love the album Security by Peter Gabriel... it's maybe his first full album of songs heavily influenced by world music, and it just sounds so tribal and cool... especially the first song Rhythm of the Heat, such a cool beat anyways, but then towards the end it just breaks out into this awesome percussion solo type thing... great stuff!! I also really love the track Lay Your Hands on Me... again it has a great beat, but also in this track the bass part is awesome... it's kinda like fragments of a bass part that repeat... it's cool...

also, the whole of The Long Walk Home, again by Peter Gabriel, is great for rhythm and percussion... more so then his other soundtrack Passion...
hehe, I love Peter Gabriel yes, but he has always had a fascination with rhythms and stuff, so it's no wonder his music expresses this...

Dude, you seriously ought to listen to Kate Bush. The Dreaming and Hounds Of Love are amazing in their rhythmic depth.

Weather Report were a great band, esp if it's about rhythm and percussion...even now sounds fresh and innovative.
it's been really hard for me to find stuff that would measure up to such artists as Squarepusher, Aphex or Amon, and i am lucky to have found it with WR... (the funniest thing here is that WR is NOT idm, you understand :)
their rhythms are so excellent and complex 'cause they always used a lot of percussion on their albums, i even can hear sometimes jungle and hip hop beats, really! :)
and i think hardly any words can describe their music, so the best thing here is to try listening to it...(any album)
"Live & Unreleased" is a worthy compilation

well, all of prefuse73's albums..duh..
populous' album 'quipo' dabrye's 'one/three' el-p's 'fantastic damage' aim's 'hinterland' the telescopes' 'third wave' phoenecia's 'brownout'
do make say think and the sea and cake both have really tight percussion as far as more rock oriented bands go
manitoba is really good rhythm/percussion-wise too, as someone said.. when i saw him/them live.. there were two drummers that just went off the handle
and you probably already know the cinematic orchestra..

Good to see WR get a mention...
That was one name always mentioned during Squarepushers early days...easy to hear their influence on him...

nod, I love Cinematic Orchestra... and one main reason was because of the drumming on Everyday... My feelings about it were always like "Hey, this is cool, not just a straight swing beat!"... and it still is... it has some cool rhythms for jazz... although it does swing in a lot of places on there... just love that album!
also, speaking of jazz in a rhythm thread, you can't forget Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet... that whole album is such a treat to listen to, because the rhythms are just totally awesome... yet it's so gorgeous as well... really cool that a song like Take Five, which is in 5/4 time, can swing so well!
