this sounds real good...for the people into matmos this is highly recomended! sounds much alike 'a chance to cut is a chance to cure', real interesting music..

I thought this was going to have something to do with fingering, frankly I'm a little disappointed

Matmos: Hey look a chair! Are you thinking what Im thinking? Yes! Lets record every possible noise it can make and create a song from it!

matmos and people like us are awesome.
this cover of do they owe us a living sucks, i'm afraid. out of step sounds weird, but i'm not into it. the other sample just sounds like disco to me. basically, this is like sucking all the good elements out of punk songs and making them lifeless and cheesy... or is this a joke?

i didn't mean to sound harsh... but i don't like this at all.
have you heard the original versions of these songs? if not, that would certainly lend itself to our differing views of these cover tracks.

i think, as the article alludes to, there is a clear element of parody in this music. re-arranging one form of music into it's polar opposite is an obvious swipe at the original. re-contextualizing the words in the way the songs are sung strips away their original meaning and renders them ironic.
so, i can't possibly enjoy this, because it's a (perhaps mean-spirited) parody of music i love.

that's what i find weird..why would he make fun out of good songs?
usually silly pop songs are used for that.. i like this though..as i said above, it's much like a 'chance to cut..', and that one is my favourite matmos album.

I like it a lot. Really nice dancey stuff. I don't think he's poking fun at any of the original tunes, just presenting the vocals with a completely different musical accompaniment, which I suppose lightens the tracks but all in the name of good fun and booty shaking.

nothing wrong with poking fun and, indeed, most punk bands did have a good sense of humor. but it's so deliberate here...

hmm.. not bad.. I'm not a big fan of stuff like what's on the first sample, but the other ones were pretty funky...

I don't like it as much as the first album, which is, quite simply, clims.
