№ 96 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 21st Century

Amon Tobin turns sample-shredded breakbeat into dense, cinematic sound design on Supermodified. 'Four Ton Mantis' and 'Rhino Jockey' are where the editing stops being audible as editing. The digital editing functions as composition, not just technique. It helped set a benchmark for early-2000s IDM and breaks production.

№ 11 on The 10 Best Downtempo Albums

Denser and more violent than Bricolage. The drum edits alone put it ahead of most of this field.
