Amon Tobin - Box Set

Just got his newsletter with the following info...

  Quote

Amon Tobin is to release his first ever boxset and play his biggest ever London show: Amon Tobin 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 (November 2010) Royal Albert Hall orchestrations of Amon Tobin and more...Preorder Now!

Sounds pretty awesome, but $145 is way too much for me... wish he would just sell all this stuff seperately so I could grab a few. Still, good news that all this is being released!

good news. terrible price

I was thinking - Bah, it's just gonna be a back catalogue of his albums in some fancy case but - "Most of the material is unreleased, almost none of it has ever been available on a physical format before. ". $145 though ......

Yea, you gotta be a REALLY diehard Tobin fan for this... there are a few artists I would pay $145 for something like this and unfortunately, though I love his music, Amon Tobin isn't quite up there :(

No mention of release date, either... I look forward to hearing samples & excerpts.

Want.

*Sees price*

The price has put me off a fair bit, though it does seem like there'll be plenty in there to keep me going for some time. I shall ponder this further.

Yes, sounds like a great thing, but that price is plain silly. I guess it'll sell out regardless.

"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"

oh' my

i really want this, been a big fan since I stumbled upon the chomp samba vinyl back in the day, have got all his records since except for isan. That's so much cash, but I really like the design, and there's a ton of content. Will wait and see, i'm done pre-ordering stuff.

Shit, the fucking price. I mean, it is quite a bit of material, but there's no way I can afford that. I hope they at least make some of it available separately.

Also, it might be that the material has remained unreleased for good reason. Often these 'unreleased material' box sets are just a cash cow filled with stuff that was too shitty to actually be sold.

wing nuts? um, no.

For the amount of content you get, that's not actually that bad a deal

Still quite expensive though

This shit is redonkulous, I've been a tobin fan for a long time now but there's a limit to everything... just checking my library and I already have over 11 hours of his stuff, even if someone gave me this I wouldn't quite know what to do, there's only so many hours in a day and too many other artists I enjoy listening to

Damnit! I picked the perfect week to start monitoring my spending with my credit card.....

nuh?

Really interesting for CD4.

So many ICRAPSAM

I'd pay 145 for an Autechre boxset, but not for this

Expensive, but immaculately designed.. wow.

i think the design is rather cheesy. store bought bolts with wing nuts? kind of hacky if you ask me.

This tracklist finally convinced me that this box set is not worth buying. Too much ISAM and too little unreleased and new stuff. And the design is really not that good.

What is this, a Coil boxset?

I don't understand why people would pay money for more ISAM.

Stupid IDM'z

That packaging looks like it's gonna be a pain in the ass to get a damn CD out of that

too much ISAM not enough four ton mantis
