Bimbo's Initiation + Nightlife by Amon Tobin


is an interesting adaption or marriage of convenience between a 1930's cartoon animation with the music track, Nightlife, by multidimensional musician, Amon Tobin. The animation and the music track so magically coalesce you might be forgiven for thinking that the tune was purposefully made  for this cartoon animation !

I frequently listen to diverse genres of music sourced from podcasts, web radio, youtube and other video portals. One has, only to check out my Blog Roll, down the left hand column of this page where you will see a few of them listed among my blogging friends.  The Pasithea show No.120, with Amon Tobin on solipsistic NATION inspired me and by chance or as luck would have it, found this unreal cartoon animation and am totally surprised by it's uncanny coincidence of mutual convenience.



The original cartoon animation (here) of Bimbo's Initiation,  was produced in 1931 by Max & Dave Fleischer and Tom Sutpen says of the animation;  "There's more joy and horror in these seven minutes than in all the latter-day cartoon emanations of the last quarter-century."
