Amon Tobin is to release his first ever boxset and play his biggest ever London show.

Amon Tobin is a strictly limited edition release and will come in the form of a beautiful high quality bolt fastened mechanical 'press'. Packed inside are 6 x 10" vinyl, 7 x CD, 2 x DVD and several posters. Most of the material is unreleased, almost none of it has ever been available on a physical format before. It includes new music, unreleased dub plates and a wealth of archive material, Amon Tobin's earliest audio experiments (never been played in public before), film and television score work, unreleased score work, deleted bootlegs, 'ISAM: Live' show DVD, 'ISAM: Live' audio album, remixes, cover versions and re-interpretations of the ISAM album, remixes Amon has produced for others, a recording of the (November 2010) Royal Albert Hall orchestrations of Amon Tobin and more! Preorder Now!

Amon will also bring his 'ISAM: Live' show back to the UK on 12 May, for a show at London's Brixton Academy, and on 19 May at Manchester's FutureEverything Festival.

The slanted and expansive floor at the O2 Academy Brixton provides the perfect platform from which to watch Amon’s incredible audiovisual show. Performing tracks from ISAM and classic Amon Tobin material, this show will be an evolution from the shows which sold out The Roundhouse and The Forum (twice!), featuring new visual backdrops from V-Squared set to Amon’s genre-defying compositions. Tickets are available now at the Brixton Academy website.

The week later, 'ISAM: Live' will head north to the FutureEverything Festival, all info here.

CMU Artist Of The Year 2011: Amon Tobin

(photo by Vicky Heinlein, from her Tumblr)

Amon Tobin is a CMU Artist of the Year for 2011: http://www.thecmuwebsite.com/article/cmu-artists-of-the-year-2011-amon-tobin/

From the article: "And while I’m sure that in part the same is true for Amon Tobin, it at least appeared that in 2011 he was working on one complete project, a feat of joined up thinking where each piece was as important as the others."

North American ISAM Live tour officially SOLD OUT!

 

The biggest tour story of fall 2011 is definitely Amon Tobin’s ISAM: Live. The first time in the artist’s history that he's presented his music in a cutting-edge visual format is taking North America by storm. By far the hottest ticket on the concert circuit, ALL DATES are completely sold out and at a record pace. The tour's ambitious nature and stunning presentation has been already been toasted by everyone from Billboard, Wired, Fast Company, Wall Street Journal, Flaunt, LA Times, URB, Time Out New York, Filter... don’t take it from us, though!

 

“Nothing less than awe-inspiring” -Billboard

“The concert of the future, today” -Gizmodo

"ISAM's live show looks like a mindf*&k of the highest order." –Wired

"Isam is Amon Tobin’s Metropolis, his Koyaanisqatsi." -CitySound

"One of the most exciting live shows I've seen this year. " -OC Weekly

"Amon Tobin is a groundbreaking performer without contemporaries, complex beyond his inspirations." -Examiner

"It was joyous, unsettling, energizing and, judging from the sweat and writhing, comprehensively thumpadelic." - LA Weekly

“the ISAM Tour is a unique music experience that will most certainly be a creative benchmark in the next generation of live music technology innovation.” -Jambase

"Amon Tobin’s massively ambitious live setup seems to have to be seen to be believed." -The Daily Swarm

“If there was one figure in electronic music whose body of work and industry acclaim beg for superstardom, it’s Tobin” –Denver Post

“It’s not often that a performance by a world-renowned DJ leaves fans speechless instead of sweaty. ” – LA Times

"How do you explain to someone how genius and perfectly expressed a piece of art is unless they’ve had a personal experience with it? You can’t."-URB

“Stop by Tobin’s website or pull up any of the numerous YouTube clips under “ISAM live,” and you’ll see evidence of an eye-popping kinetic spectacle that makes recent outings by Daft Punk, Deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin look like soft-coded light shows” -Time Out New York

“The music on ISAM is a perfect backdrop for the pseudo-holographic quality of the visual show. He, like his Ninja Tune labelmates, is carving out his own niche in electronic music with a NASA-grade sound synthesis that is light-years beyond the untz-untz of electro.” - Boulder Weekly
