I liked his post-Dreamland material quite a lot, it's all over the place from IDM to jazz to prog rock - in fact I can't think of any other successful dance producer that branched out this far and wide into 'inaccessible' music compared to his hit sound.

Awww. RIP. How can ANYBODY hate "Children"? It's such a cute catchy tune!

(I'm talking about the "Dream Version.")

three years pass...

i have been on the lookout for his collaboration album with bill laswell.

well, i eventually found a copy of "Organik" last year, and yeah, it's rather good.
despite not having that much bill laswell involvement, it does feature some full on axiom style excess with its mix of world musics, and big production values.
not like the dance/pop stuff at all.
a perfect chilled out sunday evening listen basically.

There's three tracks on "Organik" with Trilok Gurtu on drums, he later did a whole jazz album with him, which is very enjoyable too.
