Ten years is a long time so sometimes it's easy to forget about the events that occurred near the beginning of that time period. Amon Tobin's "Supermodified" was released only five months into the year 2000 yet it remains one of the best electronic albums of the decade. Tobin's use of complex beats and interesting samples has garnered him universal critical acclaim over the years. This album in particular is known for it's wide range of styles from "Get Your Snack On" emanating the Chemical Brothers to the almost trance-like "Rhino Jockey." It's this variety that keeps your interest throughout, drawing you in and making you wonder what will come next. "Deo" is one of my favorites from this album, the way it builds and builds from the opening looping guitar sample to the complex drum beats as it goes along is fantastic. Here is a video for it:
Standout tracks: Get Your Snack On, Four Ton Mantis, Deo, Rhino Jockey, Natureland

Yeah, great album. I also really liked Foley Room from a few yeas back - it took a few listens to appreciate, but has some really cool samples and beat patterns throughout
