"supermodified" has a soul, "out from, out where" has some
really good points, but dont make it for me as a whole.
after first listening of this album i was amazed but now i
dont like it so much.

Supermodified seems more consistent I reckon,

"out from..." is more modern, but there is a lot of pretty
boring tracks on it.

yeah, supermodified has more of a consistent flow to it,
definitely an enjoyable album.

that said, out from out where has some damn good tracks, but
the whole album doesn't seem to fit together properly.
sections of it do, but not as a whole.

i dont care for his albums much...they bore me quite a bit

but when he's playing live that is another thing - very
intense stuff, he's mixing great and has a nice selection of
tunes for that

anyone hear his new album the bridge yet? or is it a fake
floating around slsk (cause i haven't been able to find any
info about it). good stuff tho, very jazzy

there’s certainly noone like amon tobin…he is a real
king of soundmontage

the way he uses samples on Supermodified is
astonishing…the sound is so complex, dense, detailed and
delicious that i almost feel like eating it ;) ...seems
like a sound cocktail made of everything

Out from… is more of a whole thing, but Supermodified is
more varied…
though Permutation and Bricolage are amazing as well ;)

It's an OK album but not much more than that IMO.

It's one of my favorite electronic albums of all time, top
10 at least. MUCH better than OFOWhere! The production is so
perfect. Damn consistent, there's only one or two tracks
that don't rock my boxers.

Slowly is sooo good. Marine Machines is soooo good. Deo is
soooo good. The list goes on.

I prefer SuperModified to OFOW,because it has that Jazz
structure to it.Infact I would go as far a saying I dislike
OFOW,i've only listened to it about 10 times,wheras
Supermodified is always played.

Bricolage beats them all though!
