Amon Tobin - Chaos Theory

[Cai Campbell]

Seems like this one slipped under the radar: Amon Tobin - Chaos Theory.

I have a few 12" singles by Amon Tobin and really like his work. I would term his music "atmospheric techno". Not quite trance, not quite techno... somewhere in between.

Anyway, I almost shi+ myself when I saw this on the DVD-A rack at tower. Apparently, Amon Tobin did the soundtrack to the video game "Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory". Don't let the video game connection turn you off, this is a great disc!

I remember having a listing for Splinter Cell on DVD-A, but Amon Tobin's name was not on the release information and I didn't make the connection. Cool!

I have this.

It's (mostly) techno music but with real instruments. Bass, drums, flute, Hammond organ, mellotron, strings. Aggressive mix. Don't think of this as video game music, it's really techno/world/pop, sort of, that happens to be used in a video game.

24/96 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1 - no native stereo, just downmixes. Actually, there is AAC stereo for iPods and such, and even AAC 5.1 for who knows what kind of devices.

Well worth buying.

You can hear stereo samples at places like mp3.com, and somehow if you have the right setup, listen to a whole track in 5.1 here:

(it downmixes to stereo via WinAmp on my PC but I don't have 5.1 speakers)

Hey I love Amon Tobin after hearing him on Brave new waves (CBC Radio2) one night. I went out and bought all his CD's.
This was a dream project for me, somehting I thought I would never see, So yes I love this DVD-A.

I just picked this up for $14 off an amazon Marketplace seller and it just arrived today. Unfortunately, I only had an opportunity to listen to the first track, "The Lighthouse", before the wife and kid came home and rained on my parade. Would anyone recommend any "must listen" or fav tracks for someone perpetually in a hurry?

Yesterday I ordered this disc from Amazon UK, combined with some other stuff on pre-order. So I cannot recommend any tracks yet.

I'm a big fan of this one. Understand that I like Amon Tobin generally, so your tastes may differ.
