Quirky, deliciously different avant-garde d'n'b Jazz!.......2006-07-22

I first discovered Tobin while listening to a co-volunteer's radio program at KSVR-FM in Mount Vernon, WA.

Tobin is decidedly different in his down-tempo, semi-lounge, avant-garde Jazz style, blending electronic production and sampling with a layering of drum'n'bass raunchiness that is very eye-opening if you've come expecting traditional or soft Jazz.

Not a "happy" album, not a "relaxing" album, this work definitely has niche appeal for those of us who consider ourselves electronic music fans, with occasional Jazz crossover. I've yet to throw this disc in the CD carousel at a social gathering and not have the whole room stop dead and say, as a whole, "Who is this?!?!"

Some love it. Some do not love it. Me? I love it. Both this, and the later disc, "Permutation". I've featured Tobin on my radio programs at both KSVR-FM and KSER-FM, and will always recommend Tobin to anyone bored with the usual pop Jazz or traditional Jazz offerings.

Something Everyone Should Listen to........2006-05-17

Some people may brand him as electronic, but I have to thoroughly disagree. Have you ever wondered what it was like to watch a movie completely visualized in your head by means of musical influence? This, and most other works by him will do the trick. There are so many sounds and emotions going on that you can picture a scene for every song. It's not just a composition, its a visualization. The intensity levels can peak to a point you wouldn't think could be reached by music. The way he explodes the combinations into a structurally accurate form amazes me. He fuses Jazz with Drum and Bass with Ambience with Jungle with just plain creepy noises, and it feels as though you are somewhere. Being a musician, I have a deep respect for music that takes you somewhere just through your ear drums. This does the trick. This creation in particular has a lot of creepy, desolate, isolated sounds pouring through your speakers while at the same time exploding with some form of insane serenity. You can't classify this guy, he is all over the place. If you are for anything vocal, he is not for you. BUT, if you are into instrumentals, much like I am, and ORIGINAL sounding instrumentals, this is perfect. The spectrum of music is displayed within this work of art. It's not just music, its art. Its a display of what you can do musically if you really sit down and THINK about it. Listening to it leaves me speechless. It's truly a vacation in musical format, and I highly reccomend it. If you don't at least ive it a shot, I think you are missing out on a potentially epic piece of art.

Entertaining, but lacking a style.......2006-02-27

This CD starts with a track (Stoney Street)that is completely off track from the rest. Overall, the best track is the second (Easy Muffin) and afterwards it somewhat flows, but never really finds on overall style between jazz overtones and dark dub-step. Still enjoyable to listen to, but only randomly in a large playlist. It seems a little rushed to production.

Keep your friends on their toes.......2006-02-07

Yes, this album is not brand new - it's classic electronica with some amazing trip hop beats strategically sprinkled in. Great dinner music whether you're cooking for a friend or a large group. Think Jack Kerouac if he were a new millenium beat. Ernest might have listened to it to at some outdoor cafe in Havana in the 1950's, sipping on a banana daiquiri and having a stogie.

For those who want a complete collection.

Boring.......2005-08-29

This CD started off strong... the first 20 seconds were promising. I think I yawned throughout the rest of it. Get Permutation... it's 100 times better.
