Permutation was the third album by Amon Tobin and second under his own name. It was released in 1998, just over a year after Bricolage. The album is characterized as being darker but maintaining the rhythm of its predecessor. The album was a success for Tobin and found him playing sold-out shows at the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Knitting Factory in New York and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. He went on to release Supermodified in 2000.

[edit] Notes
- Amon Tobin references to David Lynch movies a number of times on Permutation. The song "Like Regular Chickens" contains a line of dialogue spoken in Eraserhead, while the title of the song "People Like Frank" is a line of dialogue from Blue Velvet. The song also samples a part of Angelo Badalamenti's score to that film.
- On LP edition of the album, "Melody Infringement" is added as a bonus track
