5.0 out of 5 stars Finally easily available again....., July 15, 2002

By	"pe7er" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This Ninjatune re-release is very much better than the 1996 release on SHADOW records (the US release) which is still available.

The first CD of this re-release is similar to the 1996 release on the now defunct UK label Ninebar that has other tracks than the Shadow version. But this re-release even includes a bonus CD that is definitely worthwhile!

The music differs some from the latter work of Amon Tobin under his own name, but most people that like Bricolage, Permutations or Supermodified would also enjoy this jazzy gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning re-release with long sought after tracks, June 13, 2002

By	Timothy G. Parrish "Knowlegde Pimp" (Orlando, Florida USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Incredible re-release of the debut release from Amon Tobin. Features many rare tracks previously only found on the NineBar vinyl EPs, out of print for years. From the incredible abstract 'Traffic' to the rare swingin' gem 'Popsicle', a must own for any true fan.

Before Amon Adonai Santos de Aravjo Tobin shortened his name to simply Amon Tobin, he released his debut album under Cujo alias (indeed borrowed from a Stephen King novel), on a small south London label, Ninebar Records. Soon after, Ninja Tune noticed the Brazilian born artist, and signed him in 1997 for his critically acclaimed Bricolage. The rest, as we say, is history. Covering Tobin's bio and discography is a lengthy task, so I'll leave the research up to you [and shame on you if don't know the artist already]. In 2002, Adventures In Foam was re-released on Ninja Tune, this time as a double CD, containing previously unreleased material. Here's a statement from the label: "[The] fact remains that "Adventures In Foam" was a really good record, one that deserved to be heard, so when Ninja were offered an opportunity to re-release it, they jumped at the chance. Not least, because a rather unscrupulous company in the States have been circulating a version of the record with a changed tracklist, different (and unapproved) cover art and mis-titled tracks". So this should settle it once and for all. If you first fell in love with Amon Tobin after hearing his Bricolage, full of jazz infused, Latin influenced downtempo and drum'n'bass breaks and broken beats, then you'll definitely enjoy another round of Tobin's signature sampling techniques. You'll even smile after recognizing familiar sounds and beats, later reused in his subsequent albums. Definitely still enjoyable after all these years, as a first or repeated listen. A must for collectors. Artist cloud includes DJ Food, Funki Porcini, Bonobo, Wagon Christ and The Herbaliser. Favorite unreleased track: The Brazilianaire.
