Yes, I've noticed on quite a number of Amon's tracks that the bass is
out of tune. On track 2 I think from bricolage, there are a number of
rather out of tune samples. It *really* bugs me because other than that
I find him possibly the best musician working in the idm field these
days full stop.
Oh well. I'll put up a review of Permutations soon along with some other
stuff. On first two listens, it's as brilliant as ever but there are a
couple of tracks with yet again out of tune basslines and stuph. Oh
well.

In my own music I always work at getting the samples in tune with each
other, I think that's very important. Also getting samples to match
harmonically if possible. In the otherwise brilliant Nightlife from
Permutations, the piano sample and the choral sample and the other stuff
just don't fit together harmonically. Oh well. It's not so bad as to
ruin the track.
Two of my entirely sample-based tracks are up if you're interested at
