Hear, hear! This seems like a good place to start a new thread. What tracks can you think of that have any of the sort of shifting rhythms and textures that something like "music for 18 musicians" has? The first thing that comes to mind for me is the Gescom remix of Push Button Objects, actually - the shifting textures aren't really there, but the shifting rhythms certainly are. In fact, it's the closest thing I can think of (in the 'IDM' vein) that actually has some of the complexity of "...18 musicians" while still being cohesive.
