For the follow-up to Chaos Theory-- his 2005 soundtrack for the Splinter Cell 3 videogame-- Ninja Tune electronic auteur Amon Tobin took a different approach to recording. Inspired by the "foley rooms" used to create and record film sound effects, Tobin forsook his usual vinyl sources for found sounds on the aptly titled Foley Room. According to a press release, his samples ranged "from tigers roaring to cats eating rats, from wasps to falling chickpeas, kitchen utensils to motorbikes to water dripping from a tap" and also included sounds from the Kronos Quartet, Stefan Schneider, and Sarah Pagé.

Ninja Tune will release Foley Room in late April along with a DVD documentary of the recording process titled Foley Room: Found Footage, but "Bloodstone", the album's first single, will precede it with an exclusive iTunes pre-release on January 9 and a complete digital and limited edition 12" release on January 23.

Dalen, Ish, can anyone tell me how this sounds?

I was an electronic music fan way before we met holmes. I'll redeem myself when somewhat you see my Top 20.

he should've done a "faces of death" foley room. cats killing and eating live rats, pit bulls mauling young kids, steve austin's final outtake, etc.

or

audio clips from the beverly hills cop movies and call it the "axel foley room".

i've given this a few spins already and i'm intrigued; not quite as sci-fi as his previous records, but still sounds only like him.
