Does anyone recognize any of the samples Tobin has been using on this record or anywhere else?
I was greatly pleased to find out myself that Nightlife contains substantial portions derived from the song "Temptation" as presented on the LP: Enoch Light And The Light Brigade - Provocative Percussion Volume 2.
All suggestions welcome.

"Permutation" brings Amon Tobin again into the jazz/electronic music scene with his unique sound that includes jazz, classical and jungle. This sophomore album keeps impressing the Ninja Tune fanbase, like his debut "Bricolage" did. Expect some dark and relaxing atmosphere while listening this experimental masterpiece. The release reminds of the 50s-60s with its breath taking samples that Mr. Tobin intelligently used. I almost feel like I'm as old as my grandparents.
