album of the day>> Amon Tobin: Permutations refresher of my tastes. i like jazz but despise "smooth" jazz, can't comprehend why it contains the same word..:; thus i did Not very much like the one jimpster disc on instinct/shadow. tobin does jazz. half the tracks are jazz, the other half are funky [[trip/hop]] stuffs. his percussion samples are very realistic to my ears, more so than most.. a lot of it sounds as if a drummer drums the stuff, but a bit too fast and chaotic at most times. in these jazz tracks, while chaotic, the percussion still has the 'air' of the hihats behind it, and so doesnt sound so cut up/artificial (not at all that cutup is bad, it is just a different style).\\trumpets, organs, etc, very memorable songs, havent heard an album like this in a while. it is one of the Special ones. people would compare to squarepusher but they are quite different. the funky non-live-sounding-jazz stuff has excellent grooves, generally original loops and things that i'm not sick of hearing in so many other songs. this album is very recommended. i never heard the bricolage album (someone please tell me how it compares), but this is much better (while different, but you can tell they are the same guy) than cujo album. == cg // kracfive records:: http://kraanerg.apex-it.com/grav/kfat/ _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
