Amon Tobin did a rabid 5/4 cut on Permutation, "Sordid." Blame's "360 Click" is in 7/8, and then there's Laika (who don't really fall into this group of musicians)--they're infamous for going against 4/4. As for Autechre, they experimented with "no repetitive beats" on "Flutter" in 1994 as a means of protest against the CJB. Weird fun shit that actually mixed well into Warp's "Blech" comp. They're rare, but not impossible to find. The further people dig into jazz roots, the more you'll begin to see it on the scene. laz Tomas Jirku wrote:
