Really? I have been on a sudden Tobin race the last couple of days, for some random reason. Funny how that works. Hope he has a nice birthday.

In fact, the trip-hop era was the best, but he still deserves credit for what he makes. I know that his music has become more bland, but i think this is the result of him working doing soundtracks and other things like this. Same with NIN, you pick up their early records and you would never think they would end up doing music for a kids movie. Maybe it is what makes them earn more money after all.

Came across this guy because of spotify's recommendations and am really impressed, but I can only heartily agree with you. It's a crying shame how people like me have become little more than algorithmically steered, drooling cretins

Well it doesn't help that Easy Muffin (along with 4 Ton Mantis) disappeared from all streaming services and it's basically scrobbled by only people who either have the albums on CD/vinyl or are sailing the 7 seas. Spotify is definitely willing to take the steering away from the listener, that is true.

Amon is one of the few people got me in my dark times through his discography.

The new album is very Amonesque. Although don’t feel I’ve heard anything new or surprising. Kind of “you get what you expect”, which is not necessarily bad I guess, but becoming more difficult to distinguish albums or even tracks to be honest and thus get blown away. Still creates a great atmosphere. Fills the room with this non-linear journey of sounds only Amon Tobin can produce.

It's definitely a soundtrack that doesn't lose much if you haven't played the game, even though I highly recommend playing it someday. If you haven't yet you should hear the uncut version of it, makes all the songs these 10-16 minute epics. Adds a whole lot more to some of the tracks

People looking for Amon drums should take a look at his label called Nomark. There are some pretty awesome drums on Only Child Tyrant and there's really beautiful content under Figueroa, plus two upcoming and yet-to-be-revealed projects.

..But in all honesty, asking Amon to do the same thing twice is a lost cause. : )

finally listened "Long Stories" and you know, if you add some beats, then it sounds really awesome. i tryed to play on drums with Amon's ambient pads and been on heaven. sometimes his tracks sounds similar to Thom Yorke's electronic stuff produced by Kettel. anyway - i really like his last records and it feels special Amon's mood in every track, that's the matter

I remember the special feeling when listened to some tracks from ISAM for a first time... It was such a deep, fairy-like dreamlike vibe and it was one of the greatest moments from my personal history. And now, when I'm occasionally listen to Long Stories, I'm hearing this world again, I'd say it gives me even much bigger variety of magical feelings. Thank you Mr. Tobin for these moments of happy escapism.

One Shy Morning sounds beautiful. Looks like "Long Stories" is gonna be a extension of the previous album, which I liked A LOT.

Long Stories coming! :') Unexpected news, although there was a hint in the sleeves of Fear in a Handful of Dust. The new single though... so beautiful!

Fear in a Handful of Dust is a master class in sound design. It's just what I was expecting and what I wanted. Listening to it in FLAC through good headphones is heavenly.

Have to agree. Massive Amon fan, but his new album was rather bland. Nothing against the atmospheric and ambient approach, but this just falls short. ISAM was a perfect mix of his old experimental style and current ambient.

There was a Bandcamp-based vinyl campaign to get this pressed, which was a success (by almost 300%). I don't know if there will be some for sale for those that missed the campaign once the record production is done. Maybe, maybe not. : )

Is not a bad album, Actually the ambient is great, but yeah, I would love something similar to ''Permutation''

Was probably that redditor that wrote a lengthy post, asking Amon all kinds of questions.. and getting "egg rolls : )" as an only answer to the final food question, lmao
