Matmos

I just bought "A Chance To Cut Is A Chance To Cure" by
Matmos. It was an impulse buy, and probably one of the best
ive made!

I listened to the whole CD before deciding to read the
booklet, and found out it was made mostly with samples from
surgery!

Its very cool. Reccommended!

its a nice album, i didnt know it was made that way tho, but
honestly it sounds just like any other of their albums so
they must've processed those samples pretty thoroughly

there was a period when i was totally into matmos - i bought
all their albums (except 2 live ones - but i was sent these
two by a member of this mb)

i havent listened to them in a while tho...i discovered many
other brilliant artists, and there is just too little time
to listen to it all

i got em, because 1. Ive heard lots of people talk about em.
and 2. Someone said the piece Im working on sounds like
them... so I was curious

what kind of music /feeling is it?

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



i dont like ae either (not that much anyway), but i liked
matmos a lot - still do
it is cold music as well, but i find it more energetic and
way more interesting than autechres


 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2003-06-29 17:57 [#00762120]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



yeah, it has that metallic feel like AE...

but hey, I like it *shrug* try to find some mp3s to preview
it?



 

offline melack from barcielwave on 2003-06-29 17:59 [#00762122]
Points: 9099 Status: Regular



cold as what?, cause i need music with feelings, with
sadness, nostalgia, melacholy, hope...

i wont find it in matmos?

some people are comparing them with coil...
i dont know about that tho, as i dont care for coil much
some also call it industrial - perhaps there are some
industrial parts here and there, but there's also a lot of
other stuff, so it is pretty undefineable imo


 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2003-06-29 18:00 [#00762125]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



no, I find emotion in it... but the sounds themself, are
very machine sounding...

I recommend finding some demos first... try amazon.com, they
usually have preview sound clips

havent heard about them, are they good (as good or similar
as warp/rephlex artist)?

what can of music they do?

Points: 50073 Status: Moderator



tim hecker played at sonar on saturday/day...where akufen
was playing
he is curently my favourite artist...he plays very
minimalistic ambient, but so beautiful it cant be described
properly

scanner - ambient kind of music as well, electronica with
some organic sounds (check his "lauwarm instrumentals" and
"nemesis" albums, they are an absolute bliss)

freescha - a lot like boc, perhaps even better

all these sound a lot like warp material, only much warmer

and susumu yokota ofcourse - how could i forget him :)

perhaps "grinnig cat" or "sakura"
both excellent
check track called kodomotachi

hecker and freescha....

thank you tolst... and zeus (i cant enter to amazon.com...)

Matmos feels like a looser, dryer Mouse on Mars to me.
House beats with silly samples, etc. The two solo albums I
got, 'A Change to Cut is a Chance to Cure' and 'The West'
were OK, but I like their work with Bjork and The Rachels a
lot more. Their solo compositions just really seem to need
some more elements, mainly melody and harmony.

"Their solo compositions just really seem to need some more

could be...but they seem pretty creative and can easily
transform their ideas into music, if nothing else they are
really skilled

Points: 4211 Status: Regular | Show recordbag



yea they are skilled, and that is why there stuff sounds so
good when it is backing someone like Bjork. I have had a
number of tracks that started as a beat, and I would be
doing some really intricate stuff with that beat, cutting it
up, adding fx etc. and it still wouldn't feel right. Then I
would add a keyboard line that took five minutes and all of
a sudden the song felt like it had some personality.

im pretty sure they wouldnt want to add/change anythithing
in their music
but it is true...their music lacks melody and harmony

i love music to play in the dark vol2.. weirdos.. anyway
matmos are great, and they always use strange sounds in
their music so that's why it sounds like typical matmos

You guys inspired me to give this 'The West' cd another
listen. Haven't put it in in months.

matmos always uses messed-up things to make their records,
that it was recorded surgical instruments etc. shouldnt
surprise anyone, the new album comes out somewhat soon does
it not(august or september)?

hey zeus or tolstoyed ill buy musick to play in the dark 2
from either of you, i alreayd have no. 1 and im a big coil
fan so id grab that off either of you in a heartbeat.

i never gave away any of my cd's...perhaps some day i might
enjoy them (tho i pretty much doubt hehe)

anyway, that release is really not hard to get - but if i
remember right it was more expensive than regualr cd...i
have no idea why tho
