	Bricolage (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bricolage became the first release for drum and bass artist, Amon Tobin, who was now recording under his own name and on the label Ninja Tune in 1997.
		The album was a departure from his last effort, Adventures in Foam (as Cujo), incorporating a heavier blend of jazz melodies and intense jungle rhythms.
		The album managed to become a success over seas which was followed up by Permutation in 1998.

		Bricolage’s overall sound is clearly electronic, even if it is a subdued sound on several of the tracks.
		The album’s beautiful liner art reads, &ldquo;Bricolage: A process which uses given material… but which creates from these new signifiers, and new reality which is not given.
		Be warned against throwing on this album for a nap, though, because you’ll soon be having nightmares.

		But this second album must be many years ahead of the rest of the scene.
		that album was so bad it skipped goin down the toilet and went straight to the shit lines,.....deep deep underground.

	The History of Rock Music. Amon Tobin: biography, discography, review, links
		The album title is a manifesto of sample-based collage-oriented abstract hip-hop composition, along the lines of DJ Shadow 's work.
		With this album, Tobin unified classical, jazz, rock and dance music in a genre and style that is universal.
		The album's closer, Mighty Micro People, that dumps a gentle melodic theme inside a confused container with a piano that echoes tv-series music and the electronic simulation of a shy quavering voice, is perhaps a tribute to himself.

		And dependant on his state of mind, the folder’s owner may approach to the shelf and select a album with a grey cover or, maybe another one with red lips on it, and would let himself be carried by the music, sit on his favourite armchair.
		It cannot be considered as a “good album”, but at least has got something extraordinary: in comparison, all the attempts made before by Robert Smith in order to recover such level of tension would not be such convincing.
		It is not surprising of we consider that the tour which followed the album “Kiss Me kiss Me kiss Me”, an excessive project from its very beginning; it is a mediocre double album, which could have been an excellent “extended play” of commercial and summer songs.

	Decweb: Dec Discs
		Bricolage is Amon Tobin's debut under his own name, having released a few previous records under the name Cujo on the British labels HOS and Ninebar.
		Bricolage takes its name from the term "bricoleur," appropriated by the influential 20th-century anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss.
		To extend his definition of bricolage, old-school jazz is the signifier, but Tobin's signified means something entirely different from the signified of [insert random jazz legend's name here].

		supermodified was one of the best albums i ever baught and when i found this one at the local record store i picked it up instantly and popped it into the cd player in my car on the ride home.
		Bricolage molds together great samples of old jazz records and drums in interesting ways to make a sort of electronic/jazz fusion.
		But "Bricolage" bares a review from me! I heard Amon Tobin's Bridges on the AstoBar CD from Water Music Records and was like, "HMMM"...but it didn't impress me enough to go out and by any of his stuff.

		The album, Bricolage, was his debut under his own name, though he'd previously released a full-length, Adventures in Foam, under the pseudonym Cujo.
		I was using the term bricolage really with a view to things working within a particular environment, and not necessarily being used in the same way they were intended to be used.
		This whole thing to do with bricolage was to do with sounds originating somewhere and being used by other people in quite a subversive way, not necessarily in the way they were intended to be used, working in a different way.

		While painfully brief, this album makes such a powerful statement it's a shame to have it buried beneath a world of internet independents.
		The album is far from a mashup and nothing like a remix.
		The singer, sounding like a cross between Perry Ferrel and Emiliana Torrini (who's heart stopping E-rmx album can be downloaded in it's entirety at: http://www.e-rmx.com) graces each cover with beauty and poise while leaving plenty of room for the equally talented musicians who accompany her.

		And when I was making this album I was paying attention to the beginning and end of the tracks being longer than necessary to give myself a little bit of room for maneuver, if I decided to do that.
		It has meaning to where you are, where you live, and it's still very much in the vein of the bricolage idea, that things make sense within your environment, and that it doesn't mean any less just because the thing you've taken isn't applied with the same use as for what it was intended for.
		Weidenbaum: — not to over-state the violence of the album.

	electronic music : Amon Tobin - Bricolage
		Amon Tobin is originally from Rio de Janeiro and this album exudes images of tropical, exotic and decadent scenescapes to the extent that it's almost palpable.
		It's not just the choice of instruments (fender rhodes, various acoustic basses and a multitude of digital and analog sounds, samples and drum loops) which that helps to set the scene, but something else that lies on the very edge of perception.
		On Chomp Samba there's an amazing drum sequence throughout that barely manages to conceal the sound of voices and some kind of activity, and again on Defocus there is a sense that not all is what it may seem to be on the surface.

		Upon first listening to this album, I wasn't massively impressed; I instantly liked a couple of tracks, notably "Nightlife" which is a stunning blend of orchestral breakbeat mayhem.
		However, this aspect detracts absolutely nothing form the musical mastery and ingenuity of the album which is unequalled.
		One final warning: once heard you will enter Tobin's fantastic world and have to acquire his other two breathtaking albums, but fear not for you wont be disappointed.

		John Medeski is a wiz on the organ and creates an album that fuses elements of funk, jazz, gospel, and hip hop.
		And you are correct; except on this 1996 album where the Beasties went by their real names and recorded jazz versions of all their past instrumental songs.
		Since this album, many more electronic jazz artist have emerged, none as original or creative as Tobin.

		The original opens this album as a darkened piece of hip-hop futurism, with a relaxed rudeboy toasting in a thick patois that has more in common with the detacted smooth delivery of French rappers like MC Solaar.
		After a handful of primarily country-infused solo albums (and countless others with her ol' band the Mekons, not to mention many collaborative efforts), Sally Timms has assumed an altogether new sound and persona for her newest full length, In The World Of Him.
		We caught a hint of the image transformation from the album's coverart, a photo of Timms (oddly and uncomfortably) scantily clad in clear platform heels and lingerie slip sitting on the edge of a rumpled bed of satin sheets.

		The Wu's seventh album and second collective effort is a pure triumph of production skill for the Rza.
		The almost medieval string samples on many of the double album's tracks have recaptured the best of the Method Man and ODB, pushing both those MCs to a lyrical depth unreached on their solo albums.
		Bricolage shuffles from gliding Pink Panther-ish spine-jazz to jungle cubism and severed batucada.

		Bricolage est pas mal, mais ca reste assez classique à mon gout.
		Bricolage est excellent, très homogène, assez introverti enfin je pense que tu devrais le réecouter, c'est de la super came.
		Sinon pour les 3 premiers albums moi je les aime bien paske ils sont originaux, frais, sympatiques (un peu comme les albums de Ulrich Schnauss ou de Air).

		Somewhere back in the mid-90's a fresh faced Brazilian ex-pat living in the UK decided he was going to put down his harmonica, pick up a sampler, and name himself after a Stephen King novel.
		The resulting album, Cujo's 'Adventures In Foam' (released on Ninebar records, later reissued on Ninja Tune) signaled Amon Tobin's entry into the world of music.
		Although stylistically a logical follow up to 'Bricolage', it was also on this album where things starting taking a noticeable turn to a much darker output.

	Music is what you need ♫
		"Bricolage" is far more digestible and interesting, but still you can feel there's something more to do with technical aspects of the album.
		Autechre's albums are best to listen to in snowy, dark forests, on the centre of a frozen lake at a moonless night (i know, because i tried it).
		The album is a mixture of moods, sound patterns and techniques.

		A languorous dollop of bossa nova closes this album, but otherwise it almost exclusively explores jazz: hard-bop drum solos, luscious horn lines, and mellifluous fusoid guitar.
		In fact, this has to be the most straight-up nasty and dangerous album that Tobin has yet made - music with the power to lull you into a false sense of security, and dropping seriously subversive hints that all is not as it seems, and possibly, never ever was.
		Collaborating with notables such as Steinski and Kid Koala in the months since the album, Amon has shown his ability to mesh his sound with musical sources outside of those he creates and recreates in his own studio.

		Released only a year after "Bricolage", this album continues in that one's veins, yet infused a darker jazz sensibility to create a dense headrush that leaves you breathless, and eager to start again.
		This album is 70 minutes of non-stop brilliant sample cut-ups and melodies hidden underneath jerky drum-n-bass programming, a trip that takes you throughout endless permutations (sorry) of sound and space, and ends with "Nova", as close to a perfect chill song as any written.
		The next day I was off to search for the album but none of the stores in Montreal had it available, finally I found it in some small music store that was barely visible from the street and had mostly vinyl records, I rushed home to plug it in my sound system and man...

		There’s a great article by John Pareles in today’s New York Times all about bricolage — the process of filtering and reproducing existing culture that takes place as artists create.
		The album is all about bricolage, the mix of love and theft that makes art.
		(This album's heavy rotation on The Current (which, for The Current, that they play one deep cut from it a couple times a day) has reintroduced me to the group, whose 2001 release Quiet Is The New Loud was a favorite among the more soft-spoken and bespectacled of my undergrad friends.)

	Amon Tobin - Out From Out Where - Stylus Magazine
		The first few tracks on Supermodified are astounding in their unusual approach to the generally conventional big beat genre, and from there, the album slows down to an experimental minimalism that, while impressive, doesn’t grab me like most of his work does.
		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.
		Out From Out Where is an album that excellently refines Tobin’s sound, that accumulates many of the styles he’s toyed with over the last few years and assembles them to form a more coherent whole than any of his other works.

		I have all of Beck's albums, and most of his singles and eps, and he's just the man.
		Here it is. The album that caused so many critics to pack up their bags and call it a decade.
		The high-points (and there are many) don't rely on songwriting or musical ability, for the endless samples combine with Beck's many instrumentsto create pseudo-melodies and harmonies with Beck's oddball lyrics on top.

	PopMatters
		This album does the same rock 'n' soul thing that has been done a thousand times before, but this time there's an exciting twist -- it's impossible to listen to.
		It's all so forced and derivative that it might be part of a scheme perpetrated to ensure that Jet isn't the lamest bar band making records today.
		The song on the album to relish and cherish is the mid-tempo ambient pop of "Dazzle" which lives up to its title but the rough around the edges flavor to "Canada" is a close second.

		Permutation is still my favorite, but Supermodified proved that the Brazillionaire hadn't shot his wad after the first few albums like so many other promising artists of the past.
		But this is really a minor issue, and the album does sound quite good on all my gear--maybe it's my fault for want of turning it up!
		YOU WILL want to listen to this album, oh yes--you should know that it will sound best on halfway decent stereo equipment if you don't already have it.

		At the risk of sounding like I'm downplaying their abilities, most of their songs are just scads of major seventh chords thrown together in a variety of combinations, with (slightly) different lyrics, orchestrations and beats.
		This album is no different, but that's why I love it so much.
		The beauty of this album is how it jumps all around on the music scene.
