Guest Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Is it me or does this song sound exactly like an Amon Tobin track like Supermodified / Permutations era? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBD4z2BeYQg Did he write this song or something? seriously?!?! Like all the details of it - like the beats - the horns - the melodies - screams Amon to me. I'm not too familiar with Bonobo but does he have other tracks like this?

chim Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 they were released in the same year, both albums are staples of the trip hop genre. tobin's first album (as cujo) was much more of a ripoff of existing albums, and he's gradually ventured off into other music. bonobo has been doing his thing more consistently.

markedone Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 tobin's first album (as cujo) was much more of a ripoff of existing albums What sort of albums was this ripping off? I'm genuinely curious, I'd love to explore the artists that inspired this kind of music. for good measure, one of my favorite tracks ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiH7Qktlf-g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremymacgregor87 Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Not exactly the same but as Chimera said, it's not surprising to find two mid 90s Ninja Tune artists with very similar sounds. Hell, I play some ninja cuts comps and find a lot of the artists interchangeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 For my fellow bonobo fans here, ninja tune posted the 2-hour unedited version of his Solid Steel mix (originally aired in 2005) on their mailing list a few weeks ago. great stuff! http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7WUWTXXD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Literally this thread only made it dawn on me that Bonobo have other albums than Black Sands. It actually never occurred to that they were around before. Fuck me I love Black Sands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his earlier albums are AMAZIN, start off with Animal Magic and let it blow your mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0U_yqcNqR8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 my take is Ninja Tune used to be a very homogenous sounding label where the artists where almost meant to echo the same style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
