While the great majority of jazz-junglists look no
farther back than the mid-'60s for inspiration (and
samples), Tobin took his bag of tricks back into the
swing era to come up with more (and more interesting)
variations on the form than most anyone else. More
Buddy Rich than Roy Ayers, Permutation sees leagues of
different drum samples - all of them found sounds- with
nary an Amen or Apache break in sight. From the detuned
vibes and piano loops that drive the opener "Like
Regular Chickens" to the Disney-on-acid "Nightlife,"
Tobin proves himself one of the ablest producers
around. As on most indie-junglists' LPs, there are a
couple of notable darkside tracks ("Reanimator,"
"Escape," "People Like Frank") but even here he shows
himself superior to contemporaries like u-Ziq. As the
title suggests, Permutation is an incredibly varied
ride.
