But I haven't heard anything else by Amon Tobin to make any further judgement. Anybody?? <<<< weell, i would say amon IS d'n'b, with a massive jazz influence. as is squarepusher. tho' as there are different strains of d'n'b, so there is a wide range of jazz. the jazz that influences each of them is pretty different. god i knew this would get confusing. the eps amon released accompanying bricolage ("chomp samba", "creatures",...) are v similar to the lp. the stuff amon did as cujo - "adventures in foam", is a bit rawer, extends more into trip hop and shades of techno also. still quite a jazz presence. tho still recommended in all it is a bit less consistent than bricolage, which is one of my fave d'n'b/jazz sounds of the last year. also in this vein, which i haven't heard much mention of in the last few months since i've been on this list, are the more recent funki porcini rex - "love, pussycats + carwrecks", "carwreck" ep, and most burningly "lets see what carmen can do" - oh if pharoah sanders got his hands on some serious technology and gave it a good kickin it may sound like this. - btw - this clean up idm thread is getting a bit picky, also a bit new-age fascist, with its "talking about stuff i don't agree with = waste of bandwith" slant at times. jeez, john balance apologized, for posting a very informative message about the reasons behind the scarceness of early coil releases, and about half the other messages were unapologetic "lets clean up idm" backslapping hoo ha. where's the reason in that? martin
