Amon Tobin’s long awaited new album will once again reinvent what is possible with sound and music. Here’s an excerpt about the upcoming album from amontobin.com:

“Amon is hunkered down in his studio deep in the redwoods of Northern Californian and has begun work on a new album. In addition to researching and developing new production tools and techniques of his own, he’s ensconced himself in a whole new array of gadgetry from the past and the future that will help continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with sound and music. Tour dates and outside projects have been put on the back burner for now – Amon recently turned down a lucrative high profile scoring opportunity amongst other things—in order to focus solely on what can best be described as an auditory space walk.”

Consume Adapt Create has been Daniel Myer’s largest and most successful departure from industrial and EBM since Haujobb’s 1999 album, Ninetynine. This latest release from Myer’s Architect project is a contemporary fusion of dark breaks, drum & bass, hardcore and dubstep. While Myer should be praised for masking any influences in previous work—including prior Architect releases—it’s refreshing to compare these new tracks to other artists. “So I Went Out” is reminiscent of something off a Broken Note release, while “The Beauty and the Beat (Rokka)” takes cues from artists like Enduser, Dieselboy and Silent Witness. Beneath these influences though, lies a core of solid arrangement, unique soundscapes, heavily distorted basslines and complex beats.

To further appreciate Consume Adapt Create, check out these other notable releases from Myer: Haujobb – Solutions for a Small Planet, Haujobb – Ninetynine, Haujobb – Vertical Theory, Destroid – Silent World, Architect – Galactic Supermarket and Clear Vision – Deception. Check Discogs and Wikipedia for a full (and ridiculously extensive) discography.  ~ tom
