Cujo - Adventures In Foam

Can you believe that this album was all made with a Akai sampler? Yes, because Tobin is a mega-brain producer...and this was just the begining...

Most of my favorite Amon Tobin was made in his Cujo period, which I guess is just this albums worth of work. This album has some interesting jazzzzzzy dnb and downtempo-typa-ish in the unmistakeable Amon Tobin style.

Also check out the Amon Tobin remix of a Roots Manuva track. I don't remember the name of it but check it out its bomb.

Possibly one of Amon Tobin best works... to think that this ablum was first releaesed in '96! As an artist so ahead of his time he has managed to be cemented into the Ninja Tune family. F Zebra.

This album is sublime, but then any comment I post anywhere regarding the works of Mr. Tobin will read similarly, as he has the 'midas touch' more than any other producer in my (humble) opinion. This album serves also as an excellent prelude to further exploration of his work, as he seems only to delve deeper into to audio experimentaion with each subsequent release! Easily the most accessible of his releases most likely due to its age & his experience in production at the time. Having distinct leanings toward drum & bass & classic old skool (jazz) breaks almost makes it an easier (and possibly more frequent) listener than his later outings & the extra tracks* included here are tasty morsels for the avid fan. Excellent, an album which any Ninja Tune fan will revel in & those with a penchant for jazzier breakbeats will do much the same I imagine. Get it now.

* Originally 'adventures' was released on Shadow recordings without many of the tracks included here ('the method', 'ol bunkhouse', 'on the track', 'the sequel') and the vinyl does not include all original cd tracks. Thankfully the whole thang in all its glory can be found on the Ninja Tune 2-cd re-release version & not surprisingly is well worth investigating! K@
