  1. Permutations and Supermodified are both brilliant, but I'd give the edge to the latter. 

     

    Supermodified has a more varied palette of sounds and the first three tracks comprise the best opening an album could ever ask for. Its variety though, is why it's weaker than its predecessor. Permutation really delves into the jazzy drum n bass sound that he subsequently left behind with Supermodified and beyond, and it's this sound that serves his loopy sample-based technique best.

  2. I've always found Tobin a bit frustrating. Some of his tunes are brilliant and they're pretty much all amazing on a technical level but there's usually something missing for me. Foley Room was the most emblematic of that, really great sounds but nothing really driving the tunes forward that much. Will probably check this out but I still haven't heard ISAM

     

    lol?

     

    yeah this exactly, right down to having not yet bothered with ISAM. Permutations is his only truly great album imo, Supermodified is pretty good though.

  3.  

    I fuckin love this track. the pacing of the 'swells' of activity work in such a perfect way to make each one like a surge of psychedelic pleasure, with the spaces between being refractory periods.

    Yeah, man

     

    lol
