The latest result of his restless sonic experimentation, the EP’s music is breathtakingly elemental, and takes electronic music into the sort of capacious territory normally reserved for (dare we say) classical music: \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/release\/amon-tobin\/dark-jovian\"\u003eDark Jovian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is the thrilling return of a master.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn Amon’s own words:\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I made these tracks a year or two ago after binge-watching space exploration films.

Tracks like Io work in that way; something changing gradually so you barely notice it, until at some point you no longer recognize it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMy musical influences are on my sleeve with this EP. Anyone who loves John Williams, Gerry Goldsmith or Gyorgy Ligeti will hopefully see what I'm drawing from, and how it then sits in an electronic context. Dark Jovian is a small personal project which is, nevertheless, dear to me: A one off indulgence into a genre that I love.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA Record Store Day exclusive, \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/release\/amon-tobin\/dark-jovian\"\u003eDark Jovian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e incorporates 2 single-sided heavyweight 180g white vinyl 12”s with etched markings, encased in a white, branded, rubber wheel and housed in a transparent plastic box, designed by \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/brownboy.co.uk\"\u003eAlexander Brown\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike the heavenly bodies that inspired \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/release\/amon-tobin\/dark-jovian\"\u003eDark Jovian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, and the golden discs sent into space as messages from Earth, the EP's packaging is enigmatic and beautiful in appearance.
