"yeah, we are. There are at least gazillion artists who make the same music, such as but not limited to Cujo, Bonobo, Two Fingers, Xploding Plastix, Squarepusher, 60 hz, DJ Krush."



"OK, what about eh: Funki Porcini, Jaga Jazzist, µ-Ziq, Player, DJ Shadow, Xihilisk"



Looks like someone's been looking at Tobin's 'similar artists' on last.fm.



On first impressions the album is just a little bit too weird for me to really get into it, but I'm sure it'll be a grower.

Fuck me sideways, I didn't realize that ALL the 'music' on this album is crafted entirely from tiny fragments of field recordings painstakingly pieced together in a Foley Room to the power of infinity style welding

How silly of me

Nice remix. Original's better IMO, though

mates who aren't huge fans went to see ISAM live and said that even though the music was 'weird', when it synced with the light cube rig it blew their minds

i love the work of mr tobin and i can't stop listening to all his tracks but my feeling is that this album sometimes is just too much. not saying it is not a perfect amon tobin record but in certain tracks there is just too much stop and go. still this is one of my favourites this year and need to listen to dropped from the sky three times+ a day.
