Amon Tobin - 'Amon Tobin – '4 Ton Mantis' (Ninja Tune)'
(Tuesday September 5, 2000 6:53 PM )

Released on 11/09/2000
Label:

One of the finest tracks of what is surely one of the finest albums of the year so far gets it's 12" single release. Drop it in yer average trance and light stick emporium and the result would surely be a room full of one-time drug-abusing youngsters turning in desperation to God. Yes, this is some dark shit.

Dark, however, does not mean Ed Rush, Trace or even Optical. Dark, in this case, means extraordinarily daring dancefloor experimentation and not any old Ninja Tune-type wacky high jinks and general craziness. '4 Ton Mantis' is just a straight-up taster from the mind of a man on ruthlessly good form. Roots Manuva and Bonobo are both drafted in for rework and remix duty but neither, usually more than capable, manage to shed new light on Tobin's unique vision.
