	Amon Tobin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amon Tobin is a musician, DJ, and producer known for his massive sound walls of sampled jazz fused with drum and bass and samba.
		Amon Adonai Santos de Araujo Tobin was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
		Tobin is renowned for his creative use of sampling, from old recordings to motorcycles (Supermodified) and even the acoustics of buildings (Out From Out Where) which are stretched and skewed often beyond recognition.

	Disquiet: interviews: Amon Tobin, 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Like all of Tobin's music, "Switch" is built entirely from samples, and this song maintains essentially the same root sample for its entire four-minute length -- a tidy piano loop of the sort of hot jazz that might back a Betty Boop cartoon or the credits to a Woody Allen movie.
		Certainly, Tobin moves through variations on his purloined theme: dropping the bass out, pumping it up, potting down the piano, all along contorting the accompanying woodwind through various states of shimmer and submersion.
		Tobin: I had a whole electric piano solo and I took a few notes, incidental notes, out of the whole solo, which was quite an ongoing thing and made this little groove.

	Amon Tobin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		DJ Amon Tobin's debut CD is a laid-back, ultra-slick trip through experimental fields of jazz-based jungle beats, deep liquid bass, polyrhythmic drum lines, and creaking machine parts.
		Tobin is the epitome of the shy kid who stays home dreaming up new sonic tricks like the enveloping bass of "Defocus," which does for hearing what crossing your eyes does for vision, and "Chomp Samba," which drives a samba rhythm up to the frenzied pace of 150 beats per minute.
		In a genre where irony and mechanized groove rule the day, the human edge Tobin brings to techno is a breath of fresh air.

	Splendid: Features: Amon Tobin
		Tobin's performance was a late show, immediately following Tortoise's FLOWER 10 concert (part of a series of shows celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Flower booking agency).
		Amon: No, the thing I've found is that the really hardcore jazz people are very open-minded, and they're very interested in people taking jazz in new directions.
		Amon: Obviously my perfect situation would be to start at the beginning with the filmmakers and work out exactly what needs to be done, and try and do something synonymously...

	Amon Tobin - PopMatters Concert Review
		That was the question that kept springing to mind while watching Amon Tobin's striking new show, the (supposedly) first-ever show by a DJ in surround sound.
		Perhaps it was the extension of the spy theme, but Amon Tobin had the lights directed at the audience and not at his turntables.
		Amon is purely a victim of circumstance since he was flawless and his old material, especially Supermodified's "4 Ton Mantis", got a rowdy reception from the knowledgeable crowd.

	Amon Tobin: Out From Out Where: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		But Tobin insists on his method, so we have to imagine that the plips and plops of "Proper Hoodidge" might have been guitar licks at some point, and that the ominous drone haunting "El Wraith" may have been a foghorn in a past life.
		Tobin's definitely out to have some fun with this record, though the immense density of these soundscapes prevent them from being reduced to chop-shop filler.
		Amon Tobin may never put out a party album, but this is probably as close as he's going to get.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Amon Tobin
		Yes, the percussion is sampled from jazz -- there's a cymbal-clash in there that he might as well trademark-- but on the whole, it's the most conventionally "clubbish" track he's created in a long time.
		It's unmistakably Amon Tobin...but an Amon Tobin who has apparently decided to play in the Chemical Brothers' yard.
		But Tobin hasn't finished exploring the frontier he established with his previous releases, so there's not a lot of envelope-pushing going on here, and when he brings in "new" elements, they're things we're familiar with from other artists' work.

	Amon Tobin Bio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Maybe that's why Amon Tobin is one of those under-appreciated artists who works on the frontline of music innovation without always getting the props he deserves.
		Amon's fourth album is his most challenging yet, in some ways a departure, in others a development of everything that has gone before.
		The album also places less emphasis on jazz than Tobin's previous work, though it is perhaps more accurate to say that it places less emphasis on the trappings of jazz: the moody sax sample, the double bass riff.

	Samplings - Amon Tobin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		But no matter how you describe it, Amon Tobin is doing it again with the jazzy drum-n-bass style he unleashed just three short years ago.
		After returning to the U.K. from Brazil in the early ‘90s, Tobin was seduced by the strange and choppy jungle sounds of Grooverider and Goldie.
		Tobin says his set-up is simple but solid: a Cubase VST sequencer, an Akai S6000 sampler and software like TC FireWorx effects.

	Solid Steel Presents Amon Tobin: Recorded Live - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solid Steel Presents Amon Tobin: Recorded Live is an album by drum and bass artist Amon Tobin mixed live using the Final Scratch software.
		It was recorded live, as the title suggests, in Melbourne, Australia during 2003 for Ninja Tune's Solid Steel radio series.
		There exist radio directors cut mixes which includes all the songs which could not be used on the album due to licence problems.

	Amazon.com: Permutation: Music: Amon Tobin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Amon Tobin's mixing of jazz noir with breakbeats on Permutation resulted in one of the most infectious electronica discs of 1998.
		Tobin programs all this expressly analog material into his small battery of synthesizers and produces one of the strongest albums of 1998.
		Tobin pulls from the bottom of the crates and bargain bins and blends them in a fresh, dynamic way, and on no record more clearly than this one.

	Ink Nineteen: Amon Tobin
		Amon Tobin's music is the sort of unclassifiable work that often acquires the bland "electronica" label because of its daring eclecticism.
		Yet the "organic" feel that Tobin manages to achieve in his soundscapes divorces his music from danceable club fodder.
		On top of it all, Tobin often uses the swirling, relaxing strings of lounge to round out his genre-bending mastery.

	Amon Tobin
		Amon is something of a night owl when it comes to writing his material, working through the small hours to put a track together in one block.
		Amon is unequivocal when it comes to saying which he prefers, studio or live.
		Amon also uses a TC Fireworx multi-effects, which contrary to conventional wisdom, he doesn't place on an aux buss on his mixer, as he explains.

		Tobin programs all this expressly analogue material into his small battery of synthesizers and produces one of the strongest albums of 1998.
		Amon Tobin stands at a rhythmic crossroads only his bi-continental background can explain.
		And when Tobin unleashes the breakbeat flurries of his more junglist tendencies, he draws upon the powers of the dozens-strong samba drum brigades of his homeland, fusing them with dark jungle's shrill sound effects and bebop's piano/bass phrases and tempos.

	Ninja Tune - Amon Tobin Downloads & Streams 'Verbal'
		Combine this with his love of the outer limits of jazz and an unhealthy obsession with the creation of noise and the results are spectacular.
		People began comparing Amon to Ennio Morricone, artists as diverse as David Byrne and Cannibal Corpse went out of their way to praise him and Tobin found himself playing sold out shows at the Montreal Jazz Festival, the Knitting Factory in New York and the Coachella Festival.
		Amon’s fourth album was his most challenging yet, in some ways a departure, in others a development of everything that had gone before.

		Tobin: On the original version of Adventures in Foam, the proper UK issue and also on the reissue that Ninja are doing now, that's how the CD was: little sounds between the tracks, to try and tie the whole thing together.
		Tobin: I was listening to a lot of psychedelic stuff when I was making this record and one of my first notions in making the album was, I want to make an electronic psychedelic album.
		Tobin: God, no, not at all, but wow, I wouldn't say if there was anyway, but it's interesting you picked that out, because I've always fancied the drums on that track.

	Amon Tobin - Out From Out Where - Stylus Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		For the first time in his career, Tobin has released an album that does not push forward the boundaries of electronic music, an album that isn’t miles ahead of its peers.
		The more hardcore side of Amon Tobin is best seen with the driving “Chronic Tronic”, which packs an unbelievable amount of force into every beat.
		However, it is slightly disconcerting to see Amon Tobin settle into a more comfortable position with this release; we can only hope that his intentions were not to continue to do so, but to perfect his previous sound before releasing more groundbreaking efforts.

	March/Amon Tobin
		okay, amon tobin is a D.J. who fuses jazz with trip hop/drum n' bass.
		Born in Rio de Janeiro, Amon Tobin travelled to Europe at an early age, only to return to Brazil a few years later.
		Amon returned to the UK in 1994 settled in Brighton not wanting to be too far from the sea in this "wet, grey country" and started a degree course in photography.

	BBC - collective - amon tobin interview
		But Amon is no Andy Kershaw-style musical anthropologist picking the pockets of disparate cultures, for his music seemingly doesn’t come from this world at all.
		As enigmatic on record as in person, Amon’s three albums for Ninja Tune — the last of which, Out From Out Where, was released in 2002 — don’t so much feed the brain as pump it full of weird experimental drugs.
		Amon recorded the whole thing live and in one take, using Final Scratch — a piece of software that lets DJs manipulate MP3 and other files on a laptop and specially modified decks, thus enabling them to reconfigure and remix tracks from scratch rather than simply seguing two slabs of vinyl together.

	Amon Tobin: Supermodified: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Amon Tobin creates aural treasures each time he touches studio equipment.
		Then we have 'Saboteur,' a subtle epic that hovers on the edge of genius, yet is able to shatter walls in its sheer restraint from exploding into rhythmic madness.
		'Deo' again presents an intellectual Amon Tobin who allows his tracks to evolve, weaving a elaborate oriental rug of organic tones and beats.

	Amazon.com: Piranha Breaks: Music: Amon Tobin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		It seems as though its conceit--adapting the ensemble drum-corps pyrotechnics of Tobin's native Brazil to the experimental computer sequencing of British drum and bass--should be little more than a conceit, a jokey cross-cultural hook to hang an EP on.
		Amon Tobin's other recordings sound extremely interesting, and much more promising than this one (IMO), too bad I took a chance on this one first.
		After playing Piranha Breaks cuts mixed in randomly with Amon Tobin's Permutation CD it became clear that Piranha Breaks is wild and unordered much in the way I view the Piranha as wild (I can't say that the animal is really unordered though).

	Coda Agency - Amon Tobin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Amon Tobin continues his adventures with the breakbeat on this, his fourth album.
		But when Tobin takes a sample source he is never happy until he has warped, filtered and fucked with it until it sounds like something straight from his head.
		In fact, this has to be the most straight-up nasty album that Tobin has yet made — music with the power to genuinely disturb.

	Montreal Mirror - Music: Amon Tobin
		But Tobin is no longer a tourist here, and he’s definitely no stranger to the underground.
		Trying to pin a label on Tobin’s music is like picking simulated-meat flowers at Spam Gardens—you could try to do it, and certainly some people have, but it just feels wrong.
		Tobin’s skill lies in straining out the superfluous frequencies from disparate points on the musical map (whether it be bossa, blues or Bollywood soundtracks) and bringing those musical essences together into a cohesive whole where there’s nothing left but pure Tobin.

	* Dusted Reviews - Amon Tobin *
		Apparently, the CD is the result of a new and complex software/hardware bundle that Tobin’s been using on the road.
		The disc is both intellectually and intuitively enjoyable; at the halfway point and about two-thirds in, Tobin heats things up after lulls in the music recall the spacily enticing intro.
		Tobin’s own tracks are often treated less reverently, “Chronic Tronic” being a case in point.

	Amon Tobin: Chaos Theory: Splinter Cell 3 [Soundtrack] (2005): Reviews
		This isn't a revolutionary album for Tobin but it's a lot of fun, and works surprisingly well on its own, given the stringent requirements it had to meet.
		This album is not anywhere near incredible, and as for intricate, all of Amon's stuff is over complicated and over noisy, if that's what you mean by intricate.
		With such a large gap in media focus and advertising between this album and Amon Tobin's superior previous efforts, I feel a lot of people are going to get a bad impression from this CD...

		Amon Tobin has made some staggeringly difficult music in his short but prolific career.
		So it came as quite a shock to find that Collaborations and Remixes is as immediate as it is. I was expecting to learn to love Tobin all over again(not a problem) but right out the gate I was shocked and impressed by the quality of what could have been an experiment gone sour.
		The tracks on the collaboration all have that Tobin signature stamp on them but what helps this album is how much life each distinctive artist brings to the table(and a few surprises to boot).

		Every night of this antipodean leg was recorded, and it was decided that this memorable and sweaty night in Melbourne, with Amon under the distracting influences of drugs, alcohol and Ozzy girls, would be the perfect opportunity to add to the Solid Steel series.
		Amon has effortlessly incorporated many of his favourite aspects of drum and bass and heavy, heavy beats in the mix along with lush downtempo and even some Velvet Underground.
		As this set was made as a DJ alternative to Amon taking a band out on the road he includes his own material alongside the music that has influenced and inspired him.
