amon tobin - nova

a music video I made using an old encyclopedia britannica documentary on the solar system, and the amon tobin track nova. Also, the documentaries special effects are done by Jim Veilleux. The same person that did the special effects for the movie Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.

[@HillbillyDan99]

Man I remember watching this video 13 years ago and completely forgot about it until it popped into my head randomly a few weeks ago. Me and the friend of mine who sent it to me have spent the last 2 weeks trying to remember the name of the song and the artist and he finally remembered it tonight. This song and the video make my brain so happy and I’m glad both are in my life again .

[@miuamaha3994]

this song is like an interstellar journey through the stars... in an elevator

[@PJStudio6]

Miu Amaha This song is like you're on an acid trip in a 60's-esque spaceship walking through a nightclub...

[@BenJamin-bq8st]

Miu Amaha You're so right lol. I love good "this song is like.." comments like yours

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

It's the best chill out elevator music you can possibly imagine.

[@augustinewillie136]

i guess Im kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online ?

[@leonardobeau149]

@Augustine Willie lately I have been using Flixzone. Just google for it =)

[@BONESTORM2501]

Any time my mind is racing, I listen to this and it never fails to slow me down

[@mihaelkYeah]

"Can I have a driiink? I mean, can I take your order?" "Oh, yeah, uh... Egg on toast, I think" "Coming up."

[@Georgey0121]

When my future child is born I will play this and wonder what he/she will accomplish in life lying next to my baby mom amazed that we got through it :)

[@Bishmoo]

To all those saying that Amon Tobin "let" Bebel Gilberto use his song... This song (nova) is composed of from a sample from an old brazilian song called Samba de Bencao by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powel. All of them are good but it is not a pure original, like most of Amon Tobin's music afaik. Enjoy

[@NAHT87]

They used his version of it is all I was saying. Most everything from this period in his career was sampled from records.

[@NAHT87]

Thanks for listing the sample source as well!! Been looking for this one for quite some time :D

[@SuperCashed]

you're correct, most of Amon's early work (pre 2007) used samples of various old records. But now he uses found sounds and foley recordings that he's made himself, mostly.

[@AlecIceferno]

"You shouldn't smoke." "Fuck off!" "I'm a doctor, I'm supposed to say things like that!"

[@phamawa]

Love that film, and that scene and exchange with that song is such a combo.

[@zak5780]

I can’t wait until I look into the love of my life’s eyes and propose to them listening to this.

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Wow talk about good Music, this is a perfect 10 !!!

[@FollowingFootprintsMedia]

This is outstanding. I've been hooked on this track the past few days and the visuals here compliment it perfectly.

[@ashmyblunt]

I really enjoy skating to this song, very flowy

[@SkinnyEMedia]

One of the greatest songs from the Ninja Tune label. Ambient, tranquil, jazzy, as it should be. First heard this oddly enough on R.I.P. A REMIX MANIFESTO, a Canadian documentary about music copyright law, and then on Chill FM UK.

[@pwfortner]

This song is perfection

[@taylors.7459]

I love music so much!

[@Krocodilopolis]

this is what is in mr popos mind when hes on kames lookout...

[@Fexilulz]

Hearing this again brought back so many memories... thanks you.

[@CarnivalNights]

This makes sense. All of it.

[@SuperCashed]

People always put such cool vids to Amon's music. Like with El Wraith

[@koolkitty108]

Yes! And the video helped with how evil the song sounds!

[@taylors.7459]

Kitty Love ?how evil it sounds? you have one bassackwards of an outlook cause in no way is this song evil it may be a little ominous but definitely not evil.

[@koolkitty108]

Taylor S. I was talking about the El Wraith music video when I was commenting.

[@taylors.7459]

Oh my bad don't take it personal please Kitty Love I apologize if I hurt you're feelings in anyway sorry I dig the metaphor

[@koolkitty108]

Taylor S. haha, it's fine!

[@Thitoss]

Sublime, exquisite, love love love it

[@labanachecklowery5662]

Im loving this!!!

[@Gigglecheese]

the movie fits brilliantly. i find it better this way than having hyper realistic portrations of the universe. the video has the same calm and mellow mood as the song. nicely put together! :)

[@eliasrincon1785]

Love amon tobin first discovered his music when ES footwear released their first skateboard video MENIKMATI all but maybe one or two songs used in it was amon tobin. Basically the whole video was edited to fit his music. So sick fell in love with amon tobin style

[@Vitor20XX]

[@cablevamp3163]

I think the only person who came close to J Dillas sampling skills has to be Amon Tobin. Like everything is samples he’s made or from vinyls

[@jessesmith4782]

Cable Vamp Pete Rock!

[@cablevamp3163]

HypnoGlisten ISAM was a damn masterpiece plus he did different things around that time. I know his old stuff was just sampling vinyls but still this song shines ya know?

[@iscariotekein135]

J who?

[@DocBlob]

I don't think they're as good, but as a long time dilla/tobin fan I've always enjoyed Lethetette, they make a lot of tracks, not everything's for everyone, but if you dig, there's gold to be found!

great clip :) spot on for the tune !

[@NAHT87]

@Rorisu I really don't care much about views/ratings and stuff. I just really enjoy making music videos. also, the views on this one have actually been steadily climbing the last couple months. they should really pick up when he comes out with a new release. glad you enjoyed it!

[@me700gnomes]

listening to this song whilst watching Pelé highlights is perfect.

[@ericmcclain1869]

I use to sync this song with Charlie Chaplins The Immigrant and smoke a bowl. It's truly amazing.

[@MysterousBear]

The fact that this comment from 4 years ago appears directly above a comment of you saying the exact same thing 6 years ago is absolute perfection to me

[@eporter5071]

You've done Amon proud with this video. I think it compliments the song extremely well. You couldn't have any kind of flashy or modern video for this song. Well done, sir.

[@etr500y01]

Beautiful post good morning

[@RAHdub1]

@secavrx SPOT ON! Spot on is the best andmost simple way of expressing the relationship between this song and this video.

[@CarlChristensen64]

I heard this first as the backing track to Bebel Gilberto's song "Samba da Bencao" from her CD "Tanto Tempo" - and wanted to hear the original. It's like a Brazilian "Dark Side of the Moon".

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

Yeah Tobin is an industrial impressionist. His music is basically a sound design and stunning at that.

[@dodecaedrum973]

If anyone is wondering, the original sample is from Luiz Bonfá's "Non-Stop to Brazil" from the Gentle Rain soundtrack.

[@AstonishingSodApe]

Thanks! What about the vibraphone and the sax?

[@dodecaedrum973]

@@AstonishingSodApe I don't know about the origin of those parts of the song unfortunately

@classoffrankster no worries. your welcome dude. check out the rest of this album if you dig this. its called permutation.

[@fungafly]

It's like the "Egon and Dönci" movie where they fly through space in rickety rocket. It also has music by amon tobin! reminds me of Wallace and Gromit going to the moon, that movie..

[@speedR97]

ahhhhhhhh.... Old Tobin...

[@koolkitty108]

This song sounds like it should be in a 50s romance movie.

[@taylors.7459]

Kitty Love I would love to make that 50's romance flick with you I'm a bit of a romantic will truly cherish making you purrrrrrr?

[@AstonishingSodApe]

The song sampled was the soundtrack to a 60s drama, The Gentle Rain.

[@Poppy-ku6ql]

Does anyone know the two guitar chords repeated throughout? This song is absolute perfection and I’d love to be able to just play it and sing to myself.

[@jackqueslack2339]

I think it is C# major 7 and F# dominant 7

[@CharlesBronsun]

I can listen to tracks like this for hours. Any suggestions?
