When Ninja Tune signed Amon Tobin in 1997 and released the classic album Bricolage, it was the start of a musical career that would turn the Brazilian-born producer into the biggest star of the Ninja collective. On albums like the highly succesful Permutation, or Supermodified, Tobin proved his cut-up wizardry, combining the best of jazz, hip-hop, and early jungle with staccato rhythms. But the story of Amon Tobin didn't start at Ninja Tune HQ. He made his name under his Cujo monniker with the release of Adventures In Foam, on London-based Ninebar Records. The label perished, but Ninja Tune recently seized the opportunity to release his older work for Ninebar. So they came up with this excellent double CD reissue, containing not only the original album, but also a number of tracks taken from Ninebar twelve-inches. For me, it was the first time to hear killer tracks like Cat People, Fat Ass Joint, or Brazillianaire. Down-tempo stuff that sounds like it's just been brewed in London, Munich, or Vienna. Almost every track on the original album is a winner. From the nervous opener Cat People to the very dark Northstar and over to the incredibily laid-back Fat Ass Joint. Ol' Bunkhouse keeps it very relaxed while Paris Streatham is a prime example of Tobin's cut-up sound: very dark but also nicely down-tempo. It's music that still sounds innovative six years after the original release. This reissue is a nice tribute to a producer who is — together with the likes of Richard D. James, Squarepusher, and Luke Vibert — one of the true British pioneers of modern electronic music.
