Sordid-Amon Tobin

[locdogthm]

THUMBS UP IF YOU RECOGNIZE THIS TRACK FROM DESERT CRISIS FOR HALF-LIFE

[trailextremist]

does anyone know the name of the classical music piece the melody comes from?

[salexmatei]

this song kicks my ass pretty hard... video: better fit for Aphex Twin bro.

[TCoops]

Course I appreciate darkness. Helps me take a nap.

[iodread]

about 250.000 views fom me

[directmusic94]

@dehrh so you have been listening to this song non stop for 3.3 years?

[Barneschild]

@directmusic94 we took a break in 2010 for half an hour (in which we listened to four ton mantis and mighty micro people) but yes, we have been listening to this track on repeat since july 2008.

[FrostyButts]

That cheeky circle.

[CRYPT0BASS]

spectacular minimal movements...amplified by the pounding beat...innovative!

[322Marcus]

There was this one time where I hadn't slept for 36 or so hours. I watched this video fullscreen and my speakers blasting. I can't even explain the pure awesomeness that ocurred.

[timpres3]

AWESOME AWESOME!!!!

[il1il1il1li]

check out this mix of four of tobins songs live from a fest in the adirondacks, ill post more later, watch?v=luBz95tTLiA , four ton mantis into rosies into nightlife into escape

[PilipperGritz]

I think I pooped myself a little.

[MissShadow871]

very good video !!!

[sak0815]

If this tune was a girl, i'd bang her all night every night.

[FpsGerald]

Whens Amon Tobin going to realese new songs?

[streetxlite]

@FpsGerald

All the time buddy. Didn't he just release a couple albums in the last 2 years?

[TehGhoul]

@FpsGerald You can listen to his new album, ISAM on soundcloud for free. Just go on soundcloud, search 'Amon Tobin' and it's the third result.

[FUCKOFFpleasedontgo]

fuck yes! great video

[jerryramms]

great!!!

[LouderThanABomb91]

I pray for the day that this will come on in a club

[stoyashot]

@LouderThanABomb91 YOu can give your own party!!!

[Pawle123]

@LouderThanABomb91 It has been, you just haven't been in the right clubs.

[marduk025]

@LouderThanABomb91 track came out mid' nineties, saw Tobin then in Brussels, dropped this bomb and everyone went bonkers!!! good times... ;-)

[jtlbarry]

sex

[TheClintonkid]

Dislike? I want all 25 of you to justify your position!

[halucinatii]

It starts and it ends like a story. Intro, body and conclusion.

[Sam199072]

@halucinatii like spiderman?

[katalinpkboss]

foarte frumoasa melodia :)

[HunterZeroJapan]

bomba PERMUTATION thx

[MrGlitchgamers]

ninja tune forever, its in my skin baby.

[edwardw818]

Funny... I remember this tune from a BMW commercial (?v=ZhvkR8rCcVs) that I found in an old VHS while cleaning last week, then I found this video today... This is going to be an awesome week.

[thenamesdannie]

you know, if you got high.... and watched this video......fucking trippy man

[nasku86]

Great, great video - must be watched always on full screen!

[Nvelopmusic]

@Intelectual95 0/10

[TheZochor]

I was just waiting for 007 to come out of those white balls and shoot me in the face, then they would turn red in a curtain of blood.

- it ain't easy being a spy!

[AlexSHavok]

Toonami

[Artemisian108]

One of mightiest ever. One day I might be able to move my body as hard as it wants to move to this. If I take steroids maybe.

[MrMushroom123]

breakbeat/jungle madness... holy fuck

[delta0921]

Crank it up!!! Love the jammin beat!!! 

[MartinKoolhoven]

Anybody know what that first sample is (in the first seconds?)

[zhezburger]

I felt like hypnotized after the vid+song effect))

[CR3WSTHATSM0K3]

IM 15 AND BELIEVE THAT IF MY GENERATION WAS BROUGHT UP WITH THIS MUSIC IN THE CHARTS THEN PEOPLE MY AGE WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ALOT MORE AND BECOME MORE OPEN TO DIFERENT ASPECTS IN SOCIETY!

[jontykint]

@CR3WSTHATSM0K3 unfortunately, this was never in the charts! We are confined to the underground, and thats just as well, because i like it there.

[CR3WSTHATSM0K3]

@jontykint Fair play. Im a Bboy and got alot of respect for the 5 Hip Hops elements! I personaly like music with meaning eg; Immortal Technique because they mention political areas in rap and Amon Tobin for showing us how powerful music is when composed by such excellence. PEACE

[chikagago]

ninja tune, man!!!

amon is my god!!

[SangMarocain]

perfect

[vancouverdogdowncast]

it feels like i've been punched in the face by a fist full of awesome.

[Execrated]

This is awesome Amon Tobin is a genius. Quick question does anyone know of any tracks similar to this? Much appreciated thx

[Aspect225]

@Execrated 4 ton mantis for example but there are other artists you should try: Squarepusher and Aphex Twin, sometimes they play sicker music but at least as intelligent music as amon

[6mrmeeker6]

@Aspect225 he should try other ninja tune artists, cut chemist or coldcut, for example. There are like 20 great artists, but amon is definetely the one most creative

[fucksake893]

anybody see tarantulas vigina

[Steve7508]

I first heard this when listening to Chris Morris's Blue Jam on Radio One. The melody was used as the backing for one of the 'sketches'.

[Catend]

Even the comments crack me up, in a good way!

[Lyaka999]

super super !!!

[Zafoshin]

u know how online dictionaries have a button u push to hear the word? This should be the sound of sordid! (Of course, I am referring to the button that lets u hear how the word is pronounced, but lets skip this minor detail and stick with my saying y this song is awesome part....)

[Malocosa]

Does anyone know if the orchestral melody played here is from an original composition? It sounds familiar to me for some reason.

[chikagago]

this song is one of my all time favorites!

btw, love the video. great!

[amontal]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this song is GOD. No wonder it was written by AMON

[muhbawz]

this vid makes my brain cells quiver

[NoxAeterna24]

Nice stuff you did! Cheers!

[lebannerfan65]

LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!! My only (really minor gripe) is that I wish he'd have syncopated the snarebeat here or there to go with the little electronic bleep stab, would have made it funkier. But I guess that boils down to taste and mr. Tobin's taste is impeccable and beyond doubt in my view!

[dirtpile26]

I have a ringtone of this!

[123AFTERMATH]

BUMP THIS LIKE THEY DO IN THE FUTURE~

[jayneehead]

LOL adrianscally - word/amen !

[mysteryblack2]

you can't watch this full screen without blinking

[ShunkopleX]

wow quality clipmaking...trippy :)

[ProjectSmammi]

I KNOW I've heard those orchestral strings that start from the beginning in a movie before, I just can't figure out what movie.

[tynka83]

@ProjectSmammi I've heard those too in "Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam" (1920)

[CaptainCheq]

too bad they used this in a car commercial.

[boingobangobingo]

@CaptainCheq why? you don't want the artists you like to make some money so they can spend their time making music instead of flipping burgers while you download their work for free?

[checkcheckcheck123]

@boingobangobingo flawless victory

[PrittX]

@boingobangobingo Why can't people understand both sides of the argument? It has to be either "omg they download ALL of their songs and never buy" or "omg people have so much money to spend, rich bast*rds" I believe that art should be free, but i can't decide that. It's up to the artists. If I like an artists work i will support them. That's the way in my opinion it should me. Artists expressing art and people supporting them. What's next? Wallpapers for computers cost money? oh wait...

[freaknigh]

@PrittX What's next? People's time cost money?

someone needs to make a website so that you can donate directly to the artists for all the people who steal but want to give something back.

[FUCKOFFpleasedontgo]

@freaknigh when i'm a millionare i'll donate money to that charity. maybe even build them a soup kitchen. that soup kitchen would be so fucking cool!

[AdamAnt300]

@boingobangobingo The less money the better art. I've never seen real artist crying about free downloading, only wankers. The best painter in the history of humankind, Van Gogh never sold a single piece. Free downloading helps art to spread - advertising at zero cost. Art is not a commerce. Soul is not for sale.

[LilacDownDeep]

@AdamAnt300 The difference is:. Music is made into albums to be reproduced and sold as of this time period. Van Gogh actually sold one of his paintings.

[Blazeingdeath]

@LilacDownDeep

It's a shame his paintings only REALLY started to sell once the guy was dead.

[lemaitreenri]

@AdamAnt300 But, how can an artist survive without money, and then, create more art ? We need money to survive, even if it's quite a bad thing.

[dcj991]

@boingobangobingo well it depends if the artist is popular or not, if he/she is the die hard fans will buy he/she's music thus making them RICH.

[funkoolow]

INCREDIBLE ;)

[Fuskovic]

this is great

[flickflange]

This is haunting sound. A bit like DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Massive Attack and new cat AllFlaws.

Kind of hypnotizing cryptic sci fi soundz

[dteknikal]

@flickflange it seems to be only haunting until the beat drops, then you feel a sense of liveliness and familiarity. Still a bit weary of your unknown surroundings, but gaining comfort with what's around you.

[ji628]

@dteknikal

that's the most genius answer i've ever heard. thank you.

[ji628]

that's the most genius answer i've ever heard. thank you.

[glassies]

this is a cool ass jamñ

[Weltschmertz2020]

wow this was you??? I hadn't read the description and I thought it was professional. well done!

[gitti121]

je to vynikajúce...

[Rabitt240mph]

This is freaking good. Thanks

[Metalhead40880]

Pósán Virág

[knuckleskills]

I'd give it an A+ ;)

[Executor009]

hahahahhaa, i would give it a B- heheh

[weesteet33]

you must be very educated if schools are that good in your country

[Executor009]

im from , Mexico they may not be the best but there are students who make top notch audiovisuals, some of the best around this part of the galaxy guaranteed.

[adrianscally]

I put on this song the other night in a bar where I was DJing and the owner came and said "You're scaring the customers..."

[skipbreakfast]

I'd pay extra for my drinks if my bar played this.

[Gundark3]

I would MUCH rather listen to this than something like rooster, Alice In Chains or something.

[ManicRevelation]

Alice in Chains? In that case, just turn on your radio and choose from twenty stations.

[iewiehhw]

I had the same thing at my bar lol, also with other music.

[snakeandbake]

@adrianscally that's a damn shame. if i heard this in a bar i'd find the DJ and buy him a drink.

[abSOULuteD]

@adrianscally haha they werent ready

[Industreyal]

@adrianscally

Music with emotion appeal is not very popular it seems, but I would like to congratulate you on your taste. It's VERY good :)

[tokumas]

@adrianscally hahaha, because Amon Tobin expresses sordid through the sound in this song.

[EnRicoTesoro]

@adrianscally thats cause not everyone can be awesome and the pure power of its awesomeness scares them

[MyFace43]

@adrianscally You are the coolest DJ I know (Out of the ones localy around here). They play crap.

[SZRD]

@adrianscally Regarding people thinking this song is scary: oh, how I hate stupid people!

[baki3626]

@adrianscally you sir, just earned my respect.(assuming you are a guy)

[anvb5a1]

@adrianscally i would have replied: "you're fired!"

[dirtpile26]

@adrianscally hahahaha

[RiotGrrrlLogic]

@adrianscally that is hilarious! I fucking love this song BECAUSE of it's darkness. Fuck people who can't appreciate darkness......................­.

[wtfmaker2596]

@RiotGrrrlLogic it's not darkness it's music that tell us stories about it

[flipfloptk]

@adrianscally HAHAHAH

[Giordie666]

@adrianscally Ahahah!

[Sigurr0s]

@adrianscally

One of the best quote I have seen in a long time lol

[wtfmaker2596]

@adrianscally if you'r telling the truth then I promise ill finally eat... broccoli

please respond honestly D:

[adrianscally]

@wtfmaker2596 Absolute truth. Broccoli is good for you. 

[wtfmaker2596]

[kazoorapl]

I think its too fast little bit..

[HunterofNittis]

This is very much in Amon Tobin's music video style. Great work.

[KTKore]

Does anybody know any other really hard, loud, up-beat hip-hopish tracks like this from Amon Tobin?

[jdavis63]

try ruthless on the splinter cell: chaos theory soundtrack album. or four ton mantis on supermodified.

all his albums are worth checking, proper eclectic producer.

[Helenrhos]

i love it  and this mr skeleton :D rox!

[bobstock503]

darkmentalelectro...master amon tobin
