Amon Tobin - Supermodified

AMON TOBIN - SUPERMODIFIED
At the junction of jazz and breakbeat
science, Amon Tobin is one of the undisputed masters. Instead of
drawing on jazz samples and styles as a sort of prepackaged cultural
signifier, he's engaged in the cross-fertilization and
recontextualizing that many aspire to but not so many achieve. On this
release, he casts his net farther afield--the smoky nightclub trumpets
and sultry beats of 1998's Permutation are still present, but the
hummingly intense electronics and roiling drums on tracks like "Rhino
Jockey" leave the jazz references pretty far behind. The track
"Precursor" uses what is called "vocal percussion" to emulate the
click-and-pop assemblages of some of the farther out German
electronic experimentalists and segues neatly into the down-tempo
groove of "Saboteur," which is built on a bottle-clinking percussive
sample from obscure '60s blues-rock outfit the Aynsley Dunbar
Retaliation. "Keepin' It Steel" is reminiscent of Stereolab in a
way, with a pleasantly lazy tempo that manages the neat trick of
sounding like it's in an odd-metre time signature when it's not,
punctuated by horns that evoke a '70s reggae record.
