Just got back from watching Amon Tobin live in Berlin.. It is easily one of the best live shows i have ever seen.. period..
its fucking amazing.
I implore you to go see him if he comes within 500km of your house..
just so crazy..

Yea he never disappoints. Seen him 5 or 6 times, he gets weirder every time. The new album is pretty out there, even for him. Great stuff though.

Check out Two Fingers also, pretty solid side project he did. http://www.twofingersmusic.com/
- Love that one. The hip hop collaborations are fantastic.CyBrainX

the music is great, but the projection mapping rig is a completely other thing.. i have seen projection mapping before, but never like this..

Seen the premiere here in Montreal... SPECTACULAR!! Still wondering how did they pull that out, which light effects were in the frame etc... there was two top class projectors on top of another... somekind of 3D shit?? don't know for sure but that was plain DOPE, i wasn't expecting much since the album was a bit of a bummer just listening to it at home... it was clearly composed for this whole extravaganza.

I saw him about 4 years ago in NY. Fantastic show. It was nothing I expected. It was very free form. I didn't even recognize songs but it wa great. I'm not into ISAM though. I love everything else he's ever done.
- Same for me about recognizing songs. I think he's more into the freeform mash-up in live shows.dMullins

I've heard that this will blow your mind - would LOVE to see this!

Saw dude live a couple times now and each time it was really different from the last. Saw him at a hip hop show with DJ Shadow around '99 and it was soooo good. Really detailed on-screen visuals and light show.

Thanks I will

Watching motion graphics on a screen and knowing the guy is somewhere hidden pushing play on his laptop... NO thanks. I will pass. I never understanded electronic music concert, not my cup of tea. At all. I want to see musicians performing, not a laptop and a screen.
- there are things people can't do live...and he doesn't have a preset playlistProjectile
- No point arguing, but yep, this is not what ur describing at all.autoflavour
- describe it for mebenfal99
- You have got a point. This is very different in that aspect. And what you like to see on stage is personal of course.rizm
- benfal watch the videos.. but yep, if you dont like electronic music, then thats your choice..autoflavour
- its different things. Seeing singer songwriter do acoustic on stage is one thing, someone making twisted beats with machines is anotherautoflavour
- machines is another.. its just personal preferenceautoflavour
- also understanded isnt a word.. i think the word you are looking for is understood.. ; )autoflavour

Wasn't totally into ISAM when I heard the album, but in context of the live show, I made total sense..
Part of me is a bit bummed, as now normal electronic shows are always going to be a bit flat after this

I've never actually been in such a badass moshpit as the last Tobin gig I was at... and I saw Slayer last year! :P
He really sends you on a journey!

Fucking great, I'd love to see this. I'm still in awe from last year's Plastikman Live.
