Immediately upon hearing this record, the powers that be at Ninja Tune signed him up to record as Amon Tobin, and he quickly went to work on his debut Bricolage. If you’ll recall, these were the trip-hop years for electronic music, where any clown with a sampler and a collection of Blue Note records could knock off some half-baked boutique hotel background music. But Bricolage shone above all that. Although employing a marriage of jazz and beats, it stretched it further by bringing in elements of bossa-nova, batucada, and jungle, and combining it with a sense of song-writing that elevated it above the standards of that aforementioned scene. I mean, hell, it has a song on it which was inspired by Amon taking a piss on his neighbor’s bike after some domestic living dispute (
One Day In My Garden)… this was clearly the no-good vibes-jazzy-beats guy Ninja had signed.

His sound is truely unique and not typical "eletronic" music. The many touches of real instruments and textures give it an organic feeling. Every album is a masterpiece but even after all these years I still gravitate back to Bricolage. PS Check out Plug - Drum'n'Bass for Papa (Luke Vibert circa 1997)

Ant17: I thought that was pretty amusing too, but still, they could have warned him / asked him to remove the image, don't you think?

Anyone see about him getting banned from Facebook because of the image of the new album; a guy with fire shooting from his penis? Hillarious! Currently loving: Out From Out Where, Permutation and Supermodified. Jazz and Electronic make Anton something something.
