I hope this has introduced alot of people to the (marvellously) talented Mr Tobin.
I admired the soundtrack for Splinter cell: Chaos theory throughout all of the hours I played it, every track has the perfect mood for the mission to which it is assigned.

From the clunky/rustic guitar and haunting strings of the opener, to the eccentric jazzy style of 'Kokubo Sosho stealth', the highly consistent sound genius has taken traditional styles (such as Flamenco for 'Bank') and combined them with his own, un-named genre.

Amon Tobin doesn't play the instruments himself, however, he always knows what he wants from the session musicians, and always gets it.

After finishing SC:CT (the first time round), I recognised 'Ruthless' being played on Top Gear, it was clear then that it had been released on CD. I bought it, then very quickly afterwards, Supermodified and Permutation. I now have all of his albums (including the CD released under the pseodonym 'Cujo').

I have since noticed that AT's music appears to be a favourite of whoever compiles the soundtrack to Top Gear car reviews, even with multiple little clips of tracks from different albums played in succession. I can see why, he has plenty of terrifically eerie or wonderfully catchy tracks to choose from.

This album did not get five stars due to missing material which should have been included, the entire backing track for the Bank mission was left out, for example.

Good lord...
Now, if you're on this page looking at Amon Tobin, chances are that you've never heard of him. Or, that you have heard of him and wondered what the newest release from the vaults of Ninja is all about. I shall try my upmost to appeal to both types. The ignorant, and the learned. In short, this album is amazing. It is the best thing i have listened to since... Well... I have no idea. I have never heard anything like it. This is so different from the likes of Bricolage Permentuation etc, yet you know that it's still Amon. The way each track seems to work is sheer genius. What i love about this album is this.

Songs and pieces of music nowadays have a rather annoying tendancy to build up too quickly. I believe this to be a by-product of our hectic lifestyles nowadays. Music has become a quick fix. You hear a track on the radio and, after a minute and a half, you hear a massive peak in the track. Then, it goes back down again to a chorus or even a breakdown, that you can be guaranteed that it'll go back up again in a minute's time. This album is the opposite. As i sit here and listen to "Theme From Battery" I can't help but feel glad that the song isn't hurrying to it's peak. This album takes it's time, so rarely found in music nowadays.

Another fascinating point about this album is that it is made entirely with acoustic instruments. Well, when i say acoustic, i mean all of the sounds in this album came from a natural source. Not a single sample or sound in this album was made with the aid of a computer, a rare thing in todays world were the computer is king when it comes to music.

One thing, though, is guaranteed. Everybody loves this album. They just don't know it yet. I cannot stress to any of you as to the sheer brilliance of this album. I bought it blind. I had not played the splinter cell game and i had not heard any tracks form the album via the internet, friends etc. I was sceptical at first, but there is no way on this planet that i will EVER put a cross word against this album. If you're in need of some sheer brilliance, buy this album. It will not dissapoint...

Amon Tobin - you know you want it
What can I say? Tobin makes good music, if you like his music, you'll like this. If you don't know Tobin however, I and many others would probably recommend Supermodified as a good starting point.

funky ambient links seamlessly with the game
people, in particular those at ubisoft, have made a lot of fuss about amon tobin composing the score for the new splinter cell game, without mentioning how subtle and stylish the soundtracks for the two previous games were. even so, tobin's score is flawless and brilliant - organic fuses into electronic; strings merge into keyboards into guitars.
the thing that the album does is transport you to the scene... sam fisher prowling in the korean night, taking out guards and pouncing on terrorists... immensely stylish... you get what i mean
