Wait a second...
Not trying to be contrary here, but I thought #0 and quasi-objects were
quite dissimilar. "#0" was very cold, metallic, dark, clicking, and
autechre-ish with absolutely no use of the balloons, farting, etc that you
here on Quasi-objects. By contrast, Quasi-objects seemed more organic and
warmer and used the sounds of balloons, farting, voices, etc. I think
Quasi-objects really established Matmos as unique and apart from all the
other Autechre sound-a-likes.
However, both 0# and Quasi-objects are fantastic.
