Along with the likes of Squarepusher, Amon Tobin was one of the first artists to give me hope for post-Kraftwerk electronic music and to really open my mind to the genre as a whole. Being urrounded by '90s house and a plethora of clueless, wing nut, suburban candy ravers, instilled a prejudice in me that [...]

When I feel the inclination to hear some music with truly masterful beat programming, and want to bolster my inferiority complex as a musician, I throw on an Amon Tobin album. I first ran into Tobin's music in the same album that eventually led to my infatuation with the Herbaliser, the Ninjatune compilation, "Funkungfusion". His track, 'Sordid', was one of only two or three songs I've had on p...

Ever since I heard 'Sordid' on the Funkungfusion compilation, he's been a consistent member of my top ten. And now ...

Foley Room, genius, that's all, go listen... :)"There's nothing new about field recordings of course. It's obviously been the traditional source material in sampling since the early days, so I'm really going "back to school" on this one.

My most listened to Artist of the last 7 years has to be Amon Tobin. For some reason I can listen to him over and over, unlike SquarePusher or Aphex Twin who I enjoy but I can't listen to them that much. I lost interest a bit after Verbal came out, but this new Bloodstone EP is righteous.1st: The song Bloodstone is Tobin vs Kronos Quartet. Scratchy strings, piano, organ and some tasty Tobin siz...

Like microbes that invade your body. (Am I a bit obsessed?) Actually, isn't it neat that you can find songs relating to your state of mind at any given time.Or is the other way around? Your state of mind forces you to find songs that relate.Or are they the same thing?Oh crikey. I don't know!
