Amon Tobin - Supermodified


(6.5)

I've always thought Amon Tobin sounded dated. The trick to making good electronic music is to create a sound that is ganna outlast time it's self.

The sound is like a mix of modified drum n' bass with something soulful and jazzy. You can tell DJ Shadow is a big influence to that side of his music. The sound is think and layered, which is a good thing. There's a lot of depth to the wall of sound being blown at you, it actually sounds three dimensional which is what Amon Tobin is best at, it's what makes his music stand out from the average experimental electronic producer.

It's a good listen if you're new to experimental electronic, but once you become more familiar with the genre and it's depth, Amon Tobin gets old quick.

Sounds Like
A more focused and serious Pretty Lights
