"Much better than I expected. No where near as jazzy as his older albums, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. One of the year's best releases so far!"
"Not Tobin's most accessible album but a real grower. Beautiful stuff."
Amon Tobin – Always
Amon Tobin – The Killer's Vanilla
Amon Tobin – Foley Room
Amon Tobin – At the End of the Day
Recently I started listening to "Foley Room" by Amon Tobin and I must say... its definitely something new. At first it seems almost hard to listen to, but if you sit with it and play it from the beginning to the end you hear things that really open up your ears to new sounds. His music is like a mix between electronica and grindcore... like techno and tabasco sauce. At the End of the Day is by far my favorite... it has a great underlying string melody with a great beat... its nice walking music. I included embedded samples of my favorite tracks... last.fm provided me with the html and the reviews (its worth checking that site out).
The album is great: its something new, its a work of art, and although its a bit hard to get into, it'll be on my iPod for a LONG while. (buy it from iTunes here)
8/10
