Summary: Tobin: Supermodified!
Comment: Hat Trick! Amon Tobin released 3 equally brilliant but very different albums (Bricolage, Permutation, Supermodified), each a masterpiece in their own ways. This may be the best place to start for Tobin, but it kind of depends what could hook you first (then, obviously, you acquire a taste for Tobin's music and can build up with the others, or something like that). If jazz is your thing, Permutation. Like darkness? This. If you like the sounds of drum and bass, Bricolage is your best bet. If you like the soundtrack to Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, the soundtrack to that. (I really don't recommend Adventures in Foam or The Foley Room first). Of course, that's only a suggestion.
Amon Tobin modified his sound beyond belief with this album. The Drum and Bass has been deftly toned down. It's packed with even more change. There are less obviously notable loops. And he further takes the ____load of textures the guy uses and melds them. I like the way he plays with the sultry textures of Chocolate Lovely, pairing it up after different sounds, creating patterns. It's fun to listen to, and it helps get old. While Tobin's loops will irritate most people who don't want to see why it's loops are there (especially with Keepin It' Steel, which is fascinating), figure it out. Don't limit your imagination with this.
Once all digested, you get a brilliant album. You can let your mind wander (or have method to your madness) with no relief and even break into a groove. And Supermodified will take you across many areas. The Sultry Chocolate Lovely with it's chill-out vibe that's organic and puts Thievery Corporation to shame. Songs that can creep you out a bit like Golfer Vs. Boxer and Saboteur (the latter sounds like an ancient tomb). Groove to the MONSTER breakbeats of Four Ton Mantis. Listen to factory music in Rhino Jockey. Take a mile drive on the freeway to Get Your Snack On. And don't forget to relax in Natureland and Deo. The moods this guy creates, electronic music has soul, case closed. These are reasons why Tobin is my favorite electronic artist, ever. Mary Anne Hobbs is right. There is no artist out there who has achieved sonically what he is doing. Not just sonically though. I say cut sonically out. There is no artist out there who has achieved what he is doing.
I realize I may be a bit biased, and this review sounds like hyperbole, but Amon Tobin really owns my head. This guy, in my opinion, makes than 99 percent of electronic artists look lazy.
10/10

Summary: An electronica masterpiece
Comment: I must be honest. Before I had heard this album I had heard very little electronica music. So initially I didn't have much to compare it to in its own genre. Yet I am obliged now to at least give it a great review because it was basically responsible for me getting into the wonderfully distinct music of electronica.
I have listened (ever since this album) to other great electronica works by bands like the Cinematic Orchestra, Boards of Canada, and others and yet this one still impresses me like none other. It's quite complex if you listen to it closely yet upon repeated hearings of it I was showed that everything, no matter how complex, fit exactly in its place, making the overall sound easy to get into and hard to get out of.
I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't heard much electronica and would like to experience for themselves what all the fuss is about. I would also recommend it to any person looking for music with a professional but still widely accessible sound to it.

Summary: A CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE!
Comment: It will jump from your speakers & demand attention! You've been warned...

Summary: Complex and Beautiful
Comment: It is hard to overstate how much impact this album had on me. Amon Tobin captured everything I love about electronic music here, composing a dynamic, dark and often surreal sound-scape. "Slowly," my favorite track, is a beautiful, somber experience that effortlessly blends jazzy notes with a down tempo beat. "Four Ton Mantis" is a fantastic and eerie piece with alternately slow and driving beats that you can't help but be enraptured with. "Rhino Jockey" seems to swell with breathless excitement with its hard hitting, relentless energy. "Get Your Snack On," "Golfer vs Boxer," and "Chocolate Lovely" are also not to be missed. Of all of Tobin's excellent work, I believe Supermodified is truly his best. You are doing yourself a disservice if you skip this album.

Editorial Reviews:

Amon Tobin's off-kilter rhythms and jazzy samples create a beautiful mess on Supermodified. Feeding off Latin rhythms, downtempo beats, and wildly adventurous musical jumbles, Tobin's manic bliss never allows the songs to wander, working a sense of method into a sea of crazy atmospheres. The result is focused, enticing, and fascinating. --Matthew Cooke
