It’s finally here and it’s every bit as good as the write-ups have said it was—although definitely not Tobin’s “most accessible” work to date. ISAM is aural heaven, extremely overwhelming, a journey to a distant world, your worst nightmare, a day in the park, the skip in your step, a sound designer’s wet dream and the icing on the cake.

The album’s available as a digital download or in a deluxe package with a book, double vinyl and CD. http://www.amontobin.com/store
