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!

As to whether he is better than squarepusher, squarepusher only WISHES he could warm his hands over Amon's pee steam.

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...

GYBE! are amazing! their songs are epic's and clock in at the double digits! all instrumental. and they are Kanadian too! from montreal. i saw them last summer here in T.O. and for their encore they played their second album!
[which is only two songs but 45mins long!] one of the best bands ever! their homepage is a lot of nonsense, but here is the link from their record label KRANKY
godspeed you black emperor!

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! ;-)
