Goddamn incredible - one of the most "original" things I've heard in a while. Matmos take lots of live steel guitar (occasionally slide), bass, violin, drums etc and tweak and twist it all into something entirely... other. Almost like a western movie soundtrack, but really so far... so many sounds and noises I can't even go into it. The blend of electronics/acoustics is totally seamless - look into it. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto

Agreed! You should also try and catch 'em + LSR while they're still on tour. I caught their live in-store improv at Mondo Kim's the other night and it had some pretty fine moments like when Martin of Matmos started rubbing a contact mike over his hair... Forgot to ask what the hell they were running on their laptop G3 though. Howie

been meaning to comment on this show for a week... I was at the matmos, lesser, and slicker show here in cleveland last week and really enjoyed it. matmos did a long set of very fresh innovative electronica including a nice 25 minute mellow steel guitar segment reminscent of parts of The West ep. Lesser also did a great set filled with some blistering breaks and brutal bass but with a very live feel to it. Slicker was the biggest suprise. He played all new material. I enjoyed his Confidence in Duber cd that came out last year but this new stuff is truely amazing. He adds some really nice melodies to his eclectic electronic mayham. I guess it's coming out later this year along with a Slicker remix cd with a lot of big name idmers taking stabs are remixing Slicker tracks. Regardless, epect big things from Slicker very soon. -->-Lance--- mclance@nacs.net lance@inaudible.com p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
