Cujo - Adventures in Foam (1996)
The Black Dog - Radio Scarecrow (2008)

So the Cujo album is good then? Is it still recognizably Amon Tobin or is the style different?

I'll try the post-rock list. I'm going to not count Laughing Stock/Spiderland, as their affiliation with post-rock is very debatable. Also not counting F#A#oo, which would be #4, but I'm keeping it down to 1 album per artist.

5 Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a cold dead place (their only album worth writing home about, but it's damn good)
4 This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
3 Sigur Ros - ( )
2 Moving Mountains - Pneuma
1 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven!

I'd say it's recognizable, but more trip-hop.

guess it depends on the trip hop you listen to. i found it was more drum and bass haha. then again i was never able to find the whole thing either. far more in common with Bricolage than anything else Tobin's put out under his own name.

*edit*

to contribute to the actual thread.

the top 5 songs i've accidentally played at work that should never be played in the office.

5 - Mr. Officer - P
4 - jungle man - RHCP
3 - the girls of porn - mr. bungle
2 - whores - jane's addiction
1 - the special secret song inside - RHCP

That's cool. Bricolage is actually one of my favorite albums by him.

Yeah it's more like Bricolage than his others, which makes sense since they're his first two albums. And yes some of the tracks on the Cujo album are drum n bass, many are very laid back and more trip-hop.

People think there's a better GY! BE album than F♯A♯∞?

Also, where's the DMST?

Their latest is great, just not quite in my top 5 p-r albums.

And of course LYSF is better than F#A#! And F#A# is phenomenal, so that just speaks volumes about LYSF.
