MakuseruSukotto:
A lot of Mono does that.

The Flames Beyond the Cold Mountain, Lost Snow, Yearning, some others too,

Commodore:
Waves of Grain- Two Gallants

The composer Conlon Nancarrow composed a lot of music to be played mechanically , by a player piano (this is before the days of MIDI).  He used changes of tempo as an important part of his palette (viewing different tempi as a kind of scale), and wrote some pieces in which there are two parts, one of which gets faster through the piece while the other simultaneously gets slower.

Thanks for all the replies about this. Accelerando is definitely what I was looking for. I was looking for something a little different that what you get out of most post rock bands as they tend to get noisier rather than faster. That said I will listen to the reccomendations on here.

I already knew about Gogol Bordello and some of their music definitely comes to mind. The Tarantella is exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of, though I am hoping to find examples of it in modern music. Looking around there are also some occasions where Faust did this in case anybody else is curious.

I am going to check out Conlon Nancarrow because that sounds really interesting to me.

Thanks again for the help.

I've put a little Nancarrow in the mediafire thread, though it's for a human not a player piano!
