I'm not easy to wind up but what does annoy me is when bland Coldplay fans and other people with no real musical culture/taste suggest some of the music that artists I like (Squarepusher/Amon Tobin) sounds a little bit like computer game music. This was of course rubbish because the music is far deeper than any of the Coldpaly they listen too, which is why it is discussed by so many critics, even if it does not have a large fanbase. They have all sorts of influences too like jazz. Amon Tobin is an "intelligent" artist. ...wait a second, it appears I was wrong. Amon Tobin has released music for a computer game. What a kick in the balls. Mostly geeky overdramatic tracks with one or two better ones.

the most gorgeous soundtrack ever, incredibly melodic and thrilling

Hey, if you take this openly, you can like this. The goal of the noise and such is to convey a tone, and people that are immediately turned off to these sounds, or have never given them the chance, will never understand it. This is personally one of my favorite albums, and I'm getting the 5.1 surround DVD.

This album is not anywhere near incredible, and as for intricate, all of Amon's stuff is over complicated and over noisy, if that's what you mean by intricate. Oh, dis.

Yes, it's Amon Tobin so it's going to be pretty good at least. But it seems illogical to release a record that's so obviously meant as background music as an album meant for listening to on its own... With such a large gap in media focus and advertising between this album and Amon Tobin's superior previous efforts, I feel a lot of people are going to get a bad impression from this CD...

This is a thoroughly good, enjoyable ablum if you can suspend your disbelief and give it a chance. The arranged noise becomes moving music only if you have an open mind. Otherwise, you might like a tune or two but not the whole album.
Robert G gave it a10:
Anyone who dislikes this album just dosn't have a good enough sound system.
