 Rating:  - Best Drum and Bass you'll findI love this guy, but I find his later work kind of fatiguing. His music is so brilliant and amazing that sometimes I have a bit of trouble taking it all the way through (laughs). I found his debut, Bricolage, fantastic. While it may not be as brilliant in other senses, this is the best form of the drum and bass sound. It doesn't have the mindless repitition of it, but still has those rhythms that I love about D and B. He does go to other beats as well to, but a lot of chaotic drums are intact ... Read More Rating: - HELPHelp! I've been sucked into Amon Tobin's records--Bricolage included, though also Supermodified, Permutation, and Out from Out Where--and I can't get out. I can't imagine that, once I finally do crawl out of this swamp (if I ever do), I'll want to get back into it all that often, but maybe I will. I typically don't care much for music like this ("music made from music," as Tobin once put it--Bricolage indeed); I don't like the Avalanches too much or most of DJ Shadow, and I am too old, I guess, ... Read More Rating: - Quirky, deliciously different avant-garde d'n'b Jazz!I first discovered Tobin while listening to a co-volunteer's radio program at KSVR-FM in Mount Vernon, WA. Tobin is decidedly different in his down-tempo, semi-lounge, avant-garde Jazz style, blending electronic production and sampling with a layering of drum'n'bass raunchiness that is very eye-opening if you've come expecting traditional or soft Jazz. Not a "happy" album, not a "relaxing" album, this work definitely has niche appeal for those of us who consider ourselves ... Read More Rating: - Something Everyone Should Listen to.Some people may brand him as electronic, but I have to thoroughly disagree. Have you ever wondered what it was like to watch a movie completely visualized in your head by means of musical influence? This, and most other works by him will do the trick. There are so many sounds and emotions going on that you can picture a scene for every song. It's not just a composition, its a visualization. The intensity levels can peak to a point you wouldn't think could be reached by music. The way he explodes the ... Read More Rating:  - Entertaining, but lacking a styleThis CD starts with a track (Stoney Street)that is completely off track from the rest. Overall, the best track is the second (Easy Muffin) and afterwards it somewhat flows, but never really finds on overall style between jazz overtones and dark dub-step. Still enjoyable to listen to, but only randomly in a large playlist. It seems a little rushed to production. |
