Sometime back in the mid-90s a fresh faced Brazilian ex-pat living in the UK decided he was going to put down his harmonica, pick up a sampler, and name himself after a Stephen King novel. The resulting album, Cujo’s Adventures in Foam (released on Ninebar records, later reissued on Ninja Tune) signalled Amon Tobin’s entry into the world of music.
Immediately upon hearing this record, the powers that be at Ninja Tune signed him up to record as Amon Tobin, and he quickly went to work on his debut Bricolage. If you’ll recall, these were the trip-hop years for electronic music, where any clown with a sampler and a collection of Blue Note records could knock off some half-baked boutique hotel background music. But Bricolage shone above all that. Although employing a marriage of jazz and beats, it stretched it further by bringing in elements of bossa-nova, batucada, and jungle, and combining it with a sense of song-writing that elevated it above the standards of that aforementioned scene. I mean, hell, it has a song on it which was inspired by Amon taking a piss on his neighbor’s bike after some domestic living dispute (
One Day in My Garden)… this was clearly the no-good vibes-jazzy-beats guy Ninja had signed.

the guy's tunes certainly have an extra dimension to them. i remember very late after people had gone to sleep but i could not - lying on the couch with the verbal remixes CD on and feeling like I was an enormous and partly broken robotic beast, crawling my way back home across a blighted landscape from some terrible war ! amazing visionary sound-design.
