I've always imagined that he'd be incredible live, If I were you I'd definitely go.

'permutations' is where his early style really comes into its own. it's a very dark album with some middle eastern flavour mixed into the DnB jazz angle. well worth checking into if you prefer his beat based tracks.

These sound great, I'll definitely be checking em out. I like his DnB stuff, and that "middle eastern flavour" you mentioned is one of my favorite aspects of his music.

This was the first album I heard from Tobin, and the one that got me interested in his music. Really a fantastic recording, first heard it at least 2 years ago and still play it regularly.

Right on. I don't listen to this as much as supermodified, but I consider it to be just as good. I love the dark, brooding atmosphere of this album. It really fits the game well.

I like his DnB stuff, but this atmospheric transformation you're talking about really interests me. I'll be checking this out for sure.
Very informative post
