The closest things I can think of come from the two members of Flanger.
I'd suggest:
Burnt Friedman's "Con Ritmo"
Atom Heart's "Naturalist" cd
maybe also the Lisa Carbon "Trio de Janeiro" cd
Beyond that I'd suggest Squarepusher's "Music Is Rotted One Note" and the
EPs from that period.
Though in a different vein I'd also suggest Low Res's "Approximate Love
Boat" on Plug Research. Also check out Zelonky's releases as Crank. This
guy's serious.
My favorite IDM meets "jazz" album (it's really only IDM by association)
is the Ekswyzia (aka Dimitri Fergadis/Phthalocyanine) "Logans" EP on
Phthalo. It's like some meeting between Mahavishnu-era Jan Hammer and Sun
Ra.
And sorry if this is redundant, but if you want to get familiar with
Flanger's inspirations I'd suggest:
- of course Miles Davis's "In A Silent Way" & "Bitches Brew" and the
albums he recorded previous to those with the
Shorter/Hancock/Carter/Williams quintet
- the records Chick Corea recorded with the early version of Return To
Forever (with Farrell, Purim, Clarke & Moreira)
- the first self-titled Weather Report album
- Herbie Hancock's "Sextant"
There are probably all sorts of records from the early days of fusion,
a lot of them from Miles Davis sidemen like Shorter, Hancock, Keith
Jarrett, Joe Henderson, John McLaughlin, Joe Zawinul, Billy Cobham, etc.,
which would appeal to you.
Beyond fusion I'd even suggest Damo Suzuki era Can.
And I can't believe I'm doing this, but as far as contemporary stuff maybe
Medeski, Martin & Wood would appeal to you.
