Sawfly

No he's been married a at least a couple of times and to a woman

As this seems to be a somewhat official idm topic here I'd like to extend my appreciation to these old classics which I've been listening lately... Xela - For Frosty Mornings And Summer Nights & Logreybeam - It's All Just Another Aspect Of Mannerism

I can't choose from the trance tracks so I'll go with An Ancient Tale

Had forgotten how great Vollyed Iron was. Finally realized that it his best work <3

Bricolage because of the memories followed by Supermodified and Permutation sharing the second place. Out from Out Where and Foley Room are very good too And for murphythecat; What I got from your first posts was that you thought that Amon Tobin had no real talent, ripped everyone off and was bearly listenable. I think you might wanna do some research and think before you post. It's natural to say that you don't like something but you always seem to come off like as you were the only person on earth who has a good taste in music and if someone disagrees they are just stupid.

Horrible, just horrible

The cat named Murphy because originality and complexity mean everything even though he has no idea what he's talking about

...and what I actually got from your posts was that you thought Amon Tobin was ripping everyone off and had no originality and was mediocre that no one should listen to his music. Of course artists use same elements, some by mistake and some intentionally, it's the end result that counts

Who the fuck cares? Just listen to the music and be happy

Well aren't they then?

Various - Boomkat Selected Mixtapes Volume 6 - Listen With Xela Yes, it's great

Dude, all you needed to say is that you don't like his stuff, but what you did was bring up alot of comparisons to artists that are no way similar to Amon Tobin. Seriously, I don't think Amon Tobin's jazzy breaks is no way near Kettel or Venetian Snares. Some other Ninja Tune artists may be the closest, but Amon Tobin is one of a kind even if you don't want to admit it

I think the guy is deaf

Well none of these artists sound like Amon Tobin imho First of all you listed some random IDM and breakcore artists that have nothing in common with Amon Tobin's music. Breaks with jazz samples vs. melodic idm like Kettel or insane breakcore like Venetian Snares. And can you give me some examples of who Amon Tobin is ripping of exactly

So what are these similar yet more original artists?

Gorestep vol 1 wasn't very good

Yeah, that....

I don't think the tracks sound all the same, maybe you just pay more attention

Why don't you just google it or check discogs? It's not that hard.. And yes, complaining is harder ...and yes, this is a kick ass album, long waited, didn't disappoint

Prodigal Sun - All Over the World

Antichrist Superstar. Stuff after that became whiny and gay, the albums before that were ok I guess

Hedonix - Order Out Of Chaos

The rubberfootbass + the overall atmosphere sounds just melt my heart, always loved them and always will. Nowdays pretty much all I listen to is Suomi, experimental & forest when it comes to psy + the occasional melodic stuff

Forest. Naturally.

Dancing is overrated
