Kitchen Sink is a track taken from Amon Tobin’s album The Foley Room, an album compiled using sounds that Tobin and a team of assistants pulled together using nothing more than highly sensitive microphones. For this release Tobin has left off the original, instead providing four remixes from like-minded individuals.

Warp Records’ artist Clark opens proceedings with an off-kilter mix, described in the press release as “akin to watching a ballerina rise up out of a music box carrying a chainsaw”, which probably suggests that it’s time for the Ninja Tune kids to lay off the drugs. Clark’s mix does have a childishness to it, and that’s not a bad thing. Sixtoo contributes a much darker and altogether more sinister mix, which is also the best of the four tracks offered here. It’s probably no coincidence that this mix is the most musical, and the addition of a vocal sample take us into familiar Tobin territory.

Dutch trio Noisia keep up the dark, brooding tone with a much more spacey and open interpretation, interspersed with humming bass and a heavy broken beat. Boxcutter’s remix is a seething, claustrophobic affair that exhibits the complexity that has made him the darling of the dubstep crowd. These remixes are all very different while at the same time sharing the dark, sinister, brooding vibe that is part of the appeal of Tobin’s work. Very highly recommended.
