big fan since my first listen of chomp samba almost 15yrs ago. This new album is supersonically beautiful.

Probably gonna catch his ISAM show in Amsterdam. It's supposed be a audiovisual show, in which sound and visuals are combined in a innovative way on a three dimensional and shape-changing stage. Actually thinking of asking the missus to go with me, think she might enjoy it too. I'm pretty stoked

Fuck, that's the first I'd heard of that and turns out the roundhouse show is part of it too.
"The show will feature a stunning 25' x 14' x 8' multi-dimensional/shape shifting 3-D art installation surrounding Tobin and enveloping him and the audience in a beyond 3-D experience. It will be a visual onslaught - narrative, subtle and bombastic - using projection mapping, generative/audio reactive real time and pre-rendered elements combined with custom software to control the show. The visual elements will be synched to Tobin's music to make a large scale next level HD experience."
Even more excited now.

Has anyone taken a listen to the Chaos Theory 3D Remix cd?
It has some very interesting remixes done by Daedelus, Eskimo, Lorn, Qemists, King Koala and Kid Cannibal.
I`m particularly liking - The Clean Up - (Lorn Remix)
Some of the other tracks seem to be great but others are remixes with a couple extra sounds thrown over the top.
Not what I was expecting from some of the names mentioned but as I`ve mentioned, loving the Lorn Remixes.
A good remix cd overall I`d say.
I am a huge fan of chaos theory though either way.

Just got a lil review of Amon's new album up on the excellent Inhabit online website:
I've sorted out the tickets for his live show, the missus agreed to come with me . Can't wait

i`VE been listening to this for a while (long time a.t. fan) and this album has a great replay value. Every time you listen to it you hear something new.

Also I don't like listening to this album, makes me feel like a stupid kid in his bedroom that doesn't know what the hell he is doing
Edit: But that worked for Aphex Twin

Picked this up a couple days ago. Obviously not the most accessible thing, but very enjoyable. Wooden toy stands out for me, although I've only listened to the album a couple times so far.

I`ve only listened a few times but it hasn`t stuck to me like the past albumns.
Chaos Theory still stands out head above the rest.
I get the idea that he is doing a lot of bass resampling work on this albumn.
It doesn`t flow as well as the past albumns.
Almost able to distinguish individual tracks rather than a mish mash of sound.
I had moments of "oh no, that sounded brostep"
Still great design work but it hasn`t hit the mark for me.
