Revered maestro of sound design, Amon Tobin, has dropped his latest analog sample pack The Sound Of Fear In A Handful Of Dust.

Conveniently titled The Sound Of Fear In A Handful of Dust, it is filled with the meticulously crafted sounds featured on the project and proves that he intends to continue that exploration into the analog world.
