Amon Tobin...

compression rate does it zero favours though, such textural music. its aesthetic puts me in mind of burial to some degree

rhythmically he sounds like he's been affected by dubstep's ascendance, a lot of very steppy rhythms, quite garagey in places, seems to be moving away from the crashing breaks etc.

some of it is unbelievable, he's sidestepped irrelevance (which not many of his scene/era have managed). he was always out on his own though

The process itself is documented on a short film/documentary that will be included with the CD & LP release of this record. Watch for an early single "Bloodstone" to be released on 12" and digital formats as a lead up early in 07, and the full album 'Foley Room' to drop in March 07.

deep, im well excited now. with this and King Midas Sound Ninja Tunes seem to be creeping back towards relevance

Keep Your Distance and Two Fingers are outrageously good

Superb show as usual! My favourite bit was Gonzales's lyric 'I constantly constipate the crowd' - kerlassic.

listening right now.

that dj hidden tune is

not really into that kind of stuff usually but that tune is the shit!

need to get back into what adnoiseam is putting out

larvae - fashion victim and somatic responses - dying language are both top notch lp's but somehow i've forgotten the whole label after that :/

There's some good DJ Hidden tracks, Amnesia (sampling Memento) is an old favourite of mine

Been digging that Cold remix of Milanese loads, too. Keen to hear this show!

i got to play support for him recently when he was in aus (didnt get bricolage signed though

) and he tore the fucking roof off. adelaide has a heavy d&b scene and amon ripped the place to pieces, on a thursday night just before christmas no less - the place was rammed more than it is on most weekends.

big-up and thank you so much for listening..

please hit the Real Player for me on the BBC site.. i know it's a piece of shit and i tell the bosses so all the time..
it has to be that way so the publishers and artists protect their music..

i have asked a million times about digital podcasting... i won't let go of it, don't worry... again it's an issue the BBC need to resolve with publishers who own the rights to the music..

our new RAJAR figures are up again inspite of the time shift to 2am..
we're in the top quarter of all Radio1 shows in terms of 'listen again' numbers, but i could still do with a some more hits.. if you get a moment, i'd really appreciate it...

Dammit, the computers @ Uni don't like the BBC radio player!
If anyone recorded it, would be much appreciated...

But anyway, I downloaded the new album a few weeks back.
Bloody love it! On my immediate cop list when it comes out.

Those of you who would like podcasts of Mary Anne's show might be up for filling in this survey from the BBC trust about their proposed online content delivery.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/consult/o ... vices.html

Specifically one of the proposals is -

'Non-digital rights management (DRM) audio downloads over the internet (podcasting of selected radio programmes)'

Also there's a question -

'How important is it that the proposed seven-day catch-up service over the internet is available to consumers who are not using Microsoft software?'

I would love podcasts of loads of BBC content, and i'd like to be able to access all the BBC's proposed online content on my mac, so i filled it out.

Edit: congrats on those listening figures MA!

did you hear that tune a year or two back that was made using only samples of vegetables being hit/dropped etc? it sounded organic and quite different
