Amon Tobin – Chaos Theory - The Soundtrack To Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

"Chaos Theory" is easily my all time top 3 video game soundtrack and this was also my first full album encounter with the 'slice, dice, cut and rearrange the samples the way you have never experienced' audiochef named Amon Tobin. Since then i have wandered through his entire discography, from early days with his alias Cujo to his (current) latest work "Foley Room". Most of his stuff are good, some rise to pure awesomeness, some records still requires little bit more attention to understand his 'niche' but in the end, i always come back to "Chaos Theory". Why? Maybe because it's his most tight, all-around well crafted work today. Like the liner notes says, he dedicated 110% to this project and went so far just to find and get all the right musicians he wanted for this one time opportunity. And don't forget the way he fully converted his sound so it suited perfectly in dark soundtrack format and still keeping his recognizable, yet abstractly constructed drum and bassish touch from start to finish. Or maybe because this was the first Amon Tobin album i bought and therefore any other record from this man will not pass this one. Simply put, to me "Chaos Theory" is one those record from truely innovative artist which i'll cherish and keep close to my heart for the rest of my life.
