Bricolage became the first release for Amon Tobin under his own name and on the label Ninja Tune in 1997. The album was a departure from his previous effort, Adventures in Foam (as Cujo), incorporating a heavier blend of jazz melodies and intense jungle rhythms. The album became a success overseas and was followed by Permutation in 1998.

The track "Easy Muffin" was used in Toonami advertisements for Gundam SEED as well as several episodes of IGPX. It is also featured in the Elie Suleiman film Divine Intervention. It is also featured in many episodes of Top Gear.

The album art for Bricolage depicts part of Alexander Liberman's Olympic Iliad sculpture, located at the base of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.
