Re-drawing and blurring the lines between psychedelia and sci-fi, between art and entertainment, between sound design and melody, "ISAM" is Amon Tobin's first album since "Foley Room" in 2007. Tobin has created the finest, most intense work of his very considerable career, an extension and refinement of everything he has achieved thus far…

The deluxe edition package will come with a full colour 10" x 7" hardback book, which features exclusive images of the ISAM collaborative installation between Amon and Saatchi collection artist Tessa Farmer. The book also incorporates exclusive interviews with both Amon Tobin and Tessa Farmer, on the themes and inspiration behind ISAM, and on their groundbreaking project together.

The package also includes:

- Limited Edition CD

- Double Vinyl

- T-shirt

His work on Two Fingers' debut album was brilliant and his previous solo albums were always an interesting mix of effects, layers, heavy distorted stuff - and he managed to bend all rules without neglecting melodies. No one could come close to him.

ISAM, on the other hand, while still mindblowing, tends to be more about the noise & sound design. Melodies are sometimes hidden but too often they are sadly missing.

7/10
