I think so.
Some of his use of jazz percussion is just devastating and he's great at making/using dour epic melodies and ominous atmospheres.
Thumbs up!

i really liked 'out from out where' and 'supermodified' but have become a little bored since. still got a lot of respect for the guy, some of the sounds he creates are beyond belief ...but i'm just a bit bored of his work nowadays.

when i first got an internet connection out from out where and supermodified were the first two things i downloaded from some lost edonkey server, w/o knowing which kind of stuff it was, just attracted by the name of the man. and i remember i was absolutely amazed at the first listen. nowadays he's not my daily bread, w/o lack of appreciation.

I liked his first stuff but imo opinion he's always pulling out the same tricks and his new albums are not very refreshing.
But thumbs up anyways.

his last album sounds nothing like any of the albums that came out before it though... and actually Supermodified and Out From Outwhere are quite similar to each other imo but nothing else in the catalog is very samey. I don't get your comment "he's always pulling out the same tricks". What new tricks should he be pulling? Who should he rip off that you like?

he should rip off nobody and keep making his own stuff..What I ment was that he's mostly using these big bass with a lot of reverb and delays. I like it but after a while it bores me..

Two Fingers (01.04.2009)
1. Straw Men (Feat. Sway) 2:57 2. Whatuknowabout (Feat. Sway) 3:14 3. Better Get That (Feat. Ms. Jade) 3:04 4. Two Fingers (Feat. Sway) 2:49 5. That Girl (Feat. Sway) 3:15 6. Keman Rhythm 3:16 7. Jewels & Gems (Feat. Sway) 3:52 8. Bad Girl (Feat. Ce'Cile) 3:38 9. High Life 3:15 10. Doing My Job (Feat. Ms. Jade) 3:39 11. Not Perfect (Feat. Sway) 3:26 12. Moth Rhythm 3:13
Two Fingers are Brazilian beat-adventurer Amon Tobin and Joe "Doubleclick" Chapman.
The pair met when Tobin lived in Brighton and bonded over an interest in music that ran way beyond the boundaries of "electronica". In Montreal they applied production techniques associated with UK styles like drum & bass to the template of hip hop. It was an experiment with explosive results. MOBO-winner Sway (now signed to Akon's Konvict label in the US) heard what was brewing he was so taken with it, he flew straight out to Montreal and recorded seven tracks with them, showing a harsher, more serious side to his personality whilst offering wry social commentary on everything from the way young Black men are treated ("What You Know") to crazy girls who do too many pills ("That Girl"). The remaining rhythms were voiced by sometime Missy protΘgΘ Ms Jade and dancehall legend Ce'Cile. A couple of instrumental rhythms were added and this, first stage of a continuing project, was complete.
"Two Fingers" is a project unlike anything that any of the three main players has ever made before, a unique, utterly uncompromising, brutal and beautiful record that could only have grown out of the UK and the internationalism of those involved. If it's not hip hop as we know it, then nor is it drum & bass or grime. Like all the best music it transcends genre to stand on its own icy, transcendent, brilliant.
