Jaga Jazzist - One-Arm Bandit (2010) is the kind of album that people who like these kinds of albums will like.

'Day' from Stix is great: jazzin' drum 'n bass ... 'Toccata' from the new one starts off sounding like Philip Glass building up to ... dance of the space whales ... I'm bracing myself for a Meredith Monk intervention ... no, it's a forest of tubas ... Well, it's a brassy filigree with rude bits and sentient percussion.
Thanks.
