"Simply put, Tomfoolio is amazing. Tha's really the only word to decribe him." -Ground Zero

INTRO
Tomfoolio is a collage artist, heavily influenced by turntablists and instrumental hip hop producers such as DJ Shadow and Amon Tobin. He creates music by A) digging through other peoples' music, B) clipping out samples, and C) weaving them together into evocative instrumental songs.
Tomfoolio's style is jazz-inflected, darkly cinematic, and frequently quite beautiful. His debut album, Adventures Among the Pod People, has garnered Tomfoolio a small but devoted following throughout the United States and Europe.
BIO
Tomfoolio first began fiddling with freeware tracking programs in junior high, composing score for nonexistent films. After branching out into various styles of electronica, he finally decided in the spring of 2003 to try his hand at downtempo and trip hop. He came to enjoy it a great deal, and has focused his efforts there ever since.

A very visual experience
author: Groove Donkey
Tomfoolios grooves are as close to total perfection as can be attained - and the hypnosis induced by theses beats when coupled with the often times dark and jazzy layers of sound provides for a rather visual experience. Tomfoolios compositions exhibit a cinematic sensibility far removed from the often times trite compositions featured in mainstream hollywood films. Tomfoolios sound is anything but generic - its the most original music of the last 25 years. it will put you in the zone so turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream - vibe to this and you'll see what I'm talking about; adventures among the pod people is a truly brilliant work of art, one that deserves repeat listening through stereo headphones. Enjoy, you won't be dissapointed.

Fantastic voyage.

I've found that through time, occassionally a CD really changes my life. This is one of those CD's. I would recommend it if it had 4 Liter Flask as the sole track. Not to strike away from the other tracks by highlighting this one, I would also like to say that this disc is great to put in and just vibe to. Let the entire thing play. Repeat if necessary. Get your daily soul cleansing; Tomfoolio style.
