ok, what are your thoughts on this song if you've heard it?


It's kinda cool, and sounds like some strange fucked up jazz
or something, mixed with some strange fucked up
beat-boxing... the beat-boxing doesn't really do much for me
though, so it's one of my least favorite tracks on
Supermodified so far... anyways, what does everyone else
think?

BTW: I fucking LOVE this album!!!! Amon Tobin is
fantastic!!!

yeah,dont get me wrong, the album is fucking fantastic,but
that track doesnt really get me either....just seems like it
was thrown together for a novelty act.

Four Ton Mantis,Get Yo Snack On,Slowly,etc.-Great fucking
tracks

i want all of tobin's material :)

funk:have you heard the Pirahna Breaks Ep yet? the title
track is genius.

Am I right in assuming that you're an Amon Tobin fan now?

That track's alright... not one of my favorites, maybe my
LEAST favorite by him because of the beat-boxing... but it's
still pretty cool, not unlistenable.

Check out Adventures in Foam by Cujo... Cujo being his
alias. I think that's my favorite album by him overall.

I took one listen to Supermodified..took it backand demanded
refund..you go to the awesome site..and they portray it as
the most futuristic sounding thing there...I was expecting
something Autechreish...and the album is soo retro
sounding..

blah...

That's what I like about it... the retro feeling. Nightlife
from Permutation has classic 50's lounge and jazz and big
band sounds, a choir, mixed with kick ass beats... it's
fucking perfect!

I just enjoy the smorgasbord (sp?) or styles on it... it's
crazy... it's jazzy, funky, classically, etc, etc... I
dunno, I can't get enough of it... I think I like it more
then my Autechre stuff at the moment...

I fucking love that track. I told this story before but i'll
say it again. I was searching for the precursor [coil] mix
of NIN's "Closer" on audiogalaxy. Of course it was filtered
so I kept trying variations and when I just put "precursor"
in the search engine, that came out. It blew me away. I
always describe it to people as "sounds like gremlins
beatboxing.."

Precursor sounds like the vocals in "Verbal" out from out
where.
