When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Two Amon Tobin things equally worth noting: 1.) After almost 5 years since his last official release, the solo jarringly-abstract Foley Room, there is a new album ISAM due for consumption on May 23. Previews for the album are curious, and lead me to believe that the album wont be in the same vein as the more beat driven Monthly Joint Series he just did, but continues in the sci-fi-tronic direction , where sounds all but earthly.  2.) and Completely out of nowhere came Chaos Theory Remixed, which is a updated and transformed version of Tobin’s ‘Chaos Theory’; the original soundtrack to Tom Clancy’s seminal game ‘Splinter Cell’. While I’m not much for soundtracks or remix albums, this thing easily holds it’s own with remixes from (among others) Eskmo, Kid Koala, Daedelus, and (see below) The Qemists.
