Amon Tobin on HN? Wow His music is great (Long Stories, Out From Out Where, Supermodified) The website experience is neat. This is the second musician I see making an ambitious computer project. The other being that game Neil Cicierega made. I jokingly pick Slowly by Amon Tobin to be the soundtrack for when they do the lethal injection thing to me.

I was a big fan fifteen years ago. I'd love to hear from other fans of Amon Tobin back in the day, what are you listening to these days? What contemporary music should I check out if I was an amon tobin fan 15 years ago?

He also did the soundtrack for one of the Tom Clancy games (Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory). While I’ve never played the game, I really enjoyed the music.

This is how I discovered Amon Tobin! I remember when the 'Theme From Battery' kicked in, I put the controller down and listened to the whole track before going on Google to find out who did this.

I can't answer your question, but music-map has helped me find similar stuff to my favourite artists before.

Should there be any music? I only can hear a starting sound. It's hard to get anything of it?

I had to drop to the low-res version. Guessing whatever they used for detecting high-bandwidth connections is failing to grasp the values a decade-and-a-half later.

Interesting question. I only recently went back to listening to stuff like that during work and am struggling to find stuff from post 2010 or so. I think I've kind of used things like https://open.spotify.com/album/2bu7BrEuunURavjRY9qkyR?si=caf... as a replacement, wholly instrumental or foreign-language albums that won't distract me from flow state.
