the west is very good as well.. they're a cool couple of odd balls |
||||||||

where in the fuck did they come up with the idea to field record surgery sounds? that lypo-suck thing is soo fucking gross, yet soo interesting to listen to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
one of their dads is a surgeon + they have a canp aesthertic and come from california - land of plastic surgery - i guess |
||||||||
|
|

Yes, this is one of my last year's favourite albums. I like the way how the sounds are both recognisable and functional. |

nice to hear someone is listening to something except warp stuff , astrobotnia and heavy metal.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Have you heard "the banjo's categorical gut"? Brilliant sample work on that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't worry about that, most of us listen to lots of styles |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I believe they also have an album called "the west" and are working on a new one right now. |

whoops didnt see it was mentioned above on the cd the west. |

I fuckin love Matmos..I got everything they done and each one is incredible..do checkout the first Matmos self titled album as well as Quasi Objects as well.. but my personal favourite is their remix of Richard Devine..called Matmos infects Devine..talk about a match made in mindfuck heaven...yummy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it an easy remix single/album to get ahold of? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Are their band-name taken form the cult-movie "Barbarella" with Jane Fonda? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Have you seen "Barbarella"? I've heard that Drew Barrymore will take Jane Fondas part in a new version. |
||||||||

don;t they make Lava Lamps lol |

Matmos is named from the Barbarella movie. In that movie, Matmos was the alien planets living core, which Barbarella was almost sacrificed to. Referring to Pygar (the blind Angel who doesn't know he can fly) and Barbarella, the evil empress says "Throw them into the Matmos". I hope that they don't remake this movie, that would miss the whole point. |

I have a matmos lava lamp. Purple water with bright red wax. Best colors ever seen in a lava lamp. -P |
||||||||

|
|
some stuff like matmos isn't interesting to listen to unless you know the track's creation process, i think this is a major problem |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it is .. it just makes it more fun if you know the process - which might mean gasp - readinf some factual information about the band and gasp 2 buying the cd - i can see this being a problem on this board which relies on rumours and "soulseek" |

What I liked about "A chance to cut..." is exactly the fact that it is utterly listenable even withoout the knowledge of sound-sources. It is a great album. I believe a lot of you Bjork-Heads here do know that Matmos did a lot of music on her last album. And they toured with her as well. Anyone has their new EP with Lesser? Speaking of Lesser (third, "silent" part of Matmos duo), does anybody dig his stuff? His album "Gearhound" is fantastic and tigerbeat 6 recently released an MP3 CD of 10 years of his music. |

it's a great record!!!i love for felix and all the rates and track three is gorgeous!! |
||||||||

I love lesser as well! holy fuck I LOVE "matador records tax deduction" :) |

no problem for me and a lot of the intellectual/music afficionado types on this board, but what i'm saying is, it keeps the average joe from ever enjoying the album. you can't have a joan osbourne, ratt, or chemical brothers fan just go pick up a matmos or matthew herbert album (well, especially matmos) and have them fall in love with it. essentially these artists have crafted a career based on people reading articles about (or by) them, which is a very unrealistic expectation for the listener. just because a lot of us are into it doesn't mean the rest of the population is (they don't KNOW there's a story behind the songs unless the story is included in the liner notes or passed onto them by their other friends, and most people don't have friends who are obsessed with field recording samples). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...so in other words i disagree with meho's claim that the average person would enjoy matmos w/o knowing the story behind the tracks. i think some tracks are more enjoyable than others based on the music alone, but i still think it's an act you really have to be informed of to get into them. |
||||||||

Hey, who gives a shit? It's interesting trivia and all, but if the music sucked I couldn't be arsed to listen to it based on "interesting stories" about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A lot of "avantgarde" music is a lot of conceptualising/ contextualising but I just care about the music itself. Sure, the fact that the gurgling sound in the first track is made by human fat being sucked out is a good laugh, but that track is excellent regardless. As well as "For felix...", they strum and hit the cage of their deceased pet rat, but it's really the sound that's great. |
||||||||

'A Chance to cut..' could have been weirder. I was hoping to hear an entire surgery session ambient track, but instead it's sequenced sucking noises. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wasn't putting down your opinion of it, just expressing my own. you're right, it is listenable, but it's interesting how for most people (though not you) they have to know the story to really appreciate the track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's cool, tits: I am just trying to say that with all this music available (at least to us, people shameless enough to download/ burn/ illegally copy it in any way imaginable), it is necessary to be able to differentiate between cool concepts that sound shit and good music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I get with tits is saying but lets not forget Vespertine...very unconventional clicks and cuts making up very accessible and listenable pop tunes....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's true, but they didn't produce the whole album, and a lot of the songs they're on bjork is just as responsible for the sound. besides writing the melodies and playing keyboards, she's also a pretty proficient laptop programmer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree..but still...their contribution has to be the most unconventional pop music ever...and A chance to cut is not the ghoulish gore fest I expected going into it...infact it was the exact opposite..extremely accessible... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I downloaded a couple tracks by them and they are extremely interesting. Thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"their contribution has to be the most unconventional pop music ever." yea i totally agree with that, good point. i don't think a chance to cut is as a difficult listen as confield but i don't think most people would be into the album if it were, say, made up of untitled tracks and there was no way to find out how the tracks were made besides guessing. i just think it's a bit too much in novelty territory, as interesting and enjoyable as it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nahh man,just buy the whole A chance to cure is a chance to cut,listen to its entirety.it's a great trip...I just love what they do with the samples and music.... And definitely,apart from Bjork' voice,what made Vespertine interesting is Matmos electroacoustic music,that's my personal opinion.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed..I acquired it because of the production methods I read about..plus..Vespertine.. |
