Various Artists - ‘Nomark Selects Vol. 1’ (LP)

A compilation of previously publicly unavailable tracks selected by the members of Nomark's online subscription service, The Nomark Club. The album features work from Amon, Two Fingers and sees the return of Cujo, Tobin's earliest alter ego.

From Electronic Sound:
There’s prolific, and then there’s Amon Tobin. This collection is a convenient wormhole into some of his multi-dimensional universes; everything, everywhere, all at once. It gathers together cuts from his Cujo and Two Fingers identities with his Amon Tobin output, a set list voted on by members of the Nomark Club, now in its fourth year of providing Tobin addicts with a steady supply of exclusive gear.

The fractured stomp of Two Fingers’ ‘Golden’, its fierce bass arcing like an exposed mains cable prepares the ground for the deepening  mechanical chaos of ‘Yumyum Rhythm’. Similarly, ’Mighty Tetra’, an Amon Tobin track, apparently spotlights the sound of a virtuoso prog rock drummer surgically attached to one of Jean Tinguely’s self destructing art machines. 

It mellows with Cujo cuts ‘Early For Clink Street’ and ‘Nine Bars Back’, moody sci-fi jazz, and the album plays out in a pleasingly dark yet hopeful way through Tobin tracks ‘In Long Dark Grass’ and ‘Deep In Time’ until closing track ‘Red Shift’ and its unnerving deep dive into the synthetic brain of some alien technology.
