First hearing Amon Tobin (Permutations) was a life changing event for me.
It was at a time when I was learning to relax a lot more and to just go around digging strange new things, and hey presto! there it was - the most futurist audio assault on the planet.


I spent a few years bravely following Amon Tobin's progress but lost touch with him around the release of Supermodified - when I really started getting into techno.

About a year or so ago I got a hold of the Solid Steel Presents live album which totally rocked, but I somehow kinda figured that he was just blessed with an ear for radical music made by others and that he was still headed down the downtempo road that Supermodified suggested.

Boy was I wrong.

I've had his last album (Out From Out Where) for some months now (sigh, yes on mp3) but never really took the trouble to listen to it apart from the single (Verbal).


So I eventually transferred it to my PED(Personal Entertainment Device for all you trend-spotters) a few days ago and yowza! was promptly blown away.
It's plainly fucking ridiculously fast - it is of the future.

All I can say about tracks like Back from Space, Rosies and especially Triple Science is fuck fuck fuck fuck.
fuck.
