As a musician, Amon Tobin has moved well away from the drum-and-bass trappings of his early career and indeed past the flaccid label “electronic” as well. Over the last fifteen years, while other producers have come and gone, making a noise and grabbing headlines before failing to live up to or with the hype and fading away, Amon Tobin has calmly and quietly built a reputation as one of the pre-eminent electronic musicians of his generation. From his growing obsession with found sound, through his collaborations and work with everyone from the Kronos Quartet to Ryuchi Sakamoto to Philip Glass, on into his film score work and his innovative sound design for video games, Tobin has become a byword for quality and breath-taking originality. And with his live show for ISAM stunning audiences around the world (almost three million hits on YouTube and counting, plus a crowd that can include anyone from Brian Eno to Deadmaus, Keith Flint to Public Enemy, Trent Reznor to Muse), for the first time, his profile matches his many achievements.
The Amon Tobin boxset is a strictly limited edition release and will come in the form of a beautiful high quality, bolt-fastened mechanical ‘press’. Packed inside are 6 x 10″ vinyl, 7 x CD, 2 x DVD and several posters. Most of the material is unreleased, almost none of it has ever been available on a physical format before. It includes new music, unreleased dub plates and a wealth of archive material: Amon Tobin’s earliest audio experiments (never been played in public before), film and television score work, unreleased score work, deleted bootlegs, ISAM live show DVD, ISAM live audio album, remixes, cover versions and re-interpretations of the ISAM album, remixes Amon has produced for others, a recording of the Royal Albert Hall orchestrations of Amon Tobin and more… For more information we invite you to visit the link below.
