I.S.A.M.

Amon Tobin (full name Amon Adonai Santos de Araújo Tobin) is one of the most important producers in dance music. Along with Aphex Twin his appeal and influence go beyond the electronica fanbase, with his epic work being as perfectly at home in soundtracks, computer games and stereos as it is in concert halls.

Re-drawing and blurring the lines between psychedelic and sci-fi, Amon has created in 'I.S.A.M' the finest, most intense work of his considerable career. He began the process with field recordings but then synthesized the sounds and built them into actual playable instruments...

"For the most part Amon Tobin makes weird, glitchy avant-garde music that originally had a notably dark drum&bass influence to it, and at the least is always really interesting to listen to. Described by Amon as a sound sculpture, 'I.S.A.M.' is another such effort from the Brazilian, spread over 14 cuts of atmospheric wonder. The lengthy 'Dropped From the Sky' is particularly lovely."
