Amon TobinI will freely admit that I bought Amon Tobin's album 'Supermodified' solely as a result of stumbling across his webpage, which is one of the most astounding pieces of web art I think I've ever seen (go here: http://www.amontobin.com, but make sure you have speakers hooked up for full effect). 'Supermodified' is a perfect description of the album - it incorporates drum and bass electronic rhythms - but the beats shift around too much for it to be considered a pure 'dance' album per se. It incorporates samples of jazz instrumentation, but it's distant enough from jazz to make Ken Burns shudder. Mutated jazz seen through electronic beats, darkly. Links of note:
