Hopefully he finds more of a balance between the rhythms and breaks of his older stuff versus the emphasis on sound design of Foley Room and ISAM...

fucking finally, it's been way too long since ISAM

wow, seriously. FInally!

hope this delivers...

I'm ready for the live show

For the record Foley Room is a top notch AT album; isam, not so much

Adventures in Foam

Bricolage

Permutation

Supermodified

are solid gold.  everything after that a bit less so, then isam dropped the ball.  imo.

agreed that it feels like ages since we've heard from him.  exciting news!!

When you hit the nomark tab it also has this mountain img

whoa, glad to hear he's still making music! excited for this one

totally agree with this. supermodified is my favorite but i'm a big fan of all his releases before isam.

me too, thanks. (I also rate Supermodified the highest and think Foley Room is underrated.)

Jesus tapdancing CHRIST. Finally!

He's been saying he had a new album ready since 2014?

Thats fair, I do like Foley Room a lot, it did have a better balance... ISAM just went a little too down the sound design rabbit hole, it's got some great textures but it doesn't have that groove. 

SC Chaos Theory was solid too.

I think he's lost it, too much money and technical freedom

Yes, Isam was not great. I’m willing to give him a chance on this one though. Too much other amazing stuff.

add Out From Outwhere to that. That album is A+

yes yes it's true. his 11 year run from adventures to foley room are absolutely essential, canonical.

Very true, some of his best work!  I actually found amon tobin through playing that video game, great game too.  But I'd consider that an album proper, I've rinsed it many times and it holds up on its own.

rlly curious to hear what he has been up to.. would b p cool if it just shot off in a unrelated direction to his other stuff

Yes/no for me? I'd kind of like to see what it'd be like if he used breaks again ala his older stuff but kind of mish-mashed with his newer style. If that makes any sense?

I don't know =/

I'm pretty pumped for this regardless.

fantastic news. ISAM was amazing and the live show was brilliant, one of the best gigs I've been to. hope theres new live stuff in the works

Yeah I’ll always give new Tobin material a chance, he’s earned that much by a mile.
