Adventures in Foam is the first album by Brazilian electronic musician Amon Tobin, and the only one to be released under the name Cujo (Portuguese for "whose"). It was first released in September 1996 on the small south London label Ninebar records. This was around when Tobin signed with Ninja Tune to record under his name.

Critical reception

The Stranger, in a retrospective article on Tobin, called the album a "triphop classic."

Peter Shapiro, in Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide, called the album "a further exercise in jazz-based sampladelic quirkiness that was a bit too clever, a bit too blunted and bit too broad-minded to really work."
