I recently listened to Amon Tobin's "Kitchen Sink Remixes" EP. Very good remixes of a very original song!

Features:

- Chris Clark (I've all 3 of his good albums)

- Noisia (I have to listen more DnB, because I'm going to like more and more this kind of music!)

- Boxcutter (never heard about them, but nice remix)

- Sixtoo (please give a listen to his new album "Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man" !)

Sorry, still don't know how to link pictures... (but on the signature)

Do you work for Amon Tobin's promotion team?

Intresting, i havent listened to Amon Tobin for a while. Might check these out!

.mp3?

@Iggy:

MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio encoding format.

It uses a lossy compression algorithm that is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. An MP3 digital file created using the mid-range bitrate setting of 128 kbit/s results in a file that is typically about 1/10th the size of the digital data found on an audio CD.

MP3 is an audio-specific format. It was invented by a team of European engineers at Philips, CCETT (Centre commun d'études de télévision et télécommunications), IRT and Fraunhofer Society, who worked in the framework of the EUREKA 147 DAB digital radio research program, and it became an ISO/IEC standard in 1991. The compression works by removing certain parts of sound that are deemed beyond the auditory resolution ability of most people. It provides a representation of pulse-code modulation — encoding audio in much less space than straightforward methods, by using psychoacoustic models to discard components less audible to human hearing, and recording the remaining information in an efficient manner. This is quite different from the principles used by, say, JPEG, an image compression format, which are purely frequency domain based.

@iguana

Yes, 320kbit/s of pure lossy mp3 format...

but you can find also on CD (it's not an exclusive digital release if you meant this).

@jeanie

You can listen some on Amon Tobin myspace... ;)

@everybody

What about Chris Clark, Noisia, Sixtoo? Does anyone know this artists?

I got some Chris Clark stuff.

These remùixes are not marvelous. I think I've never liked any remix of an Amon Tobin track. Probably because the original trakcs are too good, and are not really a good base for a remix in my opinion.

Very disapointed by the Noisia remix. I was waiting for something much better from them.

and @Pnx : I'm not sure there's a CD Release ? I thought it was 12" only

Ben, I agree with you, execpt for the Noisia remix that I think is the best of the four.

Amon Tobin's tracks are really not good to be remixed, and I think it's an hard work for everyone who want to put his hands over.

For this reason I think they've made a good work, since in my opinion all 4 are probably better than the original song (that still remains an original peace of art, like every other thing from Amon...).

Regarding the cd release you're right, there's only the vinyl release.

@forumadmin

I liked Clark's first album (but I think it should be longer).

In his last and most "atmospheric" album (the 3rd) you can find some good tracks like Herzog, Ted, Roulette Thrift Run and Night Knuckles. His remix reflects the essential atmosphere of that album.

hardi har :roll:
