 | Phobia, is Amon Tobin going to be covered on Xltronic? 
 I think this guy kick's Squarepusher's ass. Tom J WISHES he
 was as talented as Amon Tobin.

 | Well, I love Squarepusher, Tom is a genious... but Amon is even better. He isn't as flashy or crazy, but the guy has a
 much better understanding of jazz, and his production is the
 best I've ever heard. Every album he's ever done is
 flawless! Plus his music is damn sexy!

 | Come on, let's have some more Amon supporters! The guy is so damn underrated... I'd put him above Squarepusher and and
 Mu-Ziq, slightly below Aphex, Autechre and BOC, in terms of
 my favorites.
 
 He's damn slick, but not overly... I don't think he's
 missing anything, except RECOGNITION! He's more
 straightforward and musical, which is why he doesn't get
 attention... he's not very weird...

 | I love Amon Tobin. He is definatly one of my favorites. 
 He is more psycho jazz, and squarepusher is more psyho
 experimental with hints of jazz.
 
 And i also like godspeedyoublackemperor. I have the album
 "raise your skinny fists like antennes to heaven" or
 something close to that.
 
 I cant say i like SQ or AT better. they are different, and
 there are things i appricate each of them for.

 | Amon Tobin has more talent in his pinky finger than 99.9999999% of human beings have in their entire bodies.
 
 I've seen barely any info on the net dedicated to this guy,
 and his official site is full of Flash and fancy crap, it's
 pretty bad. I think he's the most purely talented electronic
 artist around, really a virtuoso, definitely deserving of
 something better than that.
 
 He deserves an amontobin.nu! ;-)
