Recieved a great little promotional Matmos-related
cd in the mail today called "Archieve Fever." On this
1-track 20-minute cd Matmos mix-in/remix some original
Matmos electonic & guitar sounds over bits & pieces of
tracks from the Matador back catalog. The tracks that
Matmos work into the mix in some way, shape, or form are:
- Cat Power: in this hole
- Cat Power: american flag
- Pavement: spit on a stranger
- Pavement: speak, see, remember
- Pavement: the hexx
- Pole: fahren
- Cornelius: mic check
- Cornelius: typewrite lesson
- Solex: randy costanza
- Solex: solex all lickety split
- The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: fuck shit up
- The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: controversial negro
- Guitar Wolf: kung fu ramone culimination tactic
- Guitar Wolf: midnight violence rock'n'roll
- Guitar Wolf: jet blues
- Guitar Wolf: devil stomp
- Void: x-factor
Depsite the indie-rock sound of many of the
above releases, this mix/remix cd is very
electronic. Matmos do a wonderful job at
mixing this eclectic group of releases into
an thoroughly enteraining cohesive track.
Great job Drew & Martin!
These promo-only cds were handed out at the
Matador "A Nice Weekend in London" & "A
Nice Weekend in New York" shows from last
September. So you'll really have to shake
some trees (or used cds shops) to find copies
of this one. But if you enjoy Matmos I
recommend you to do so.
On a semi-related note, I also urge people to
check out the new cd on the Deluxe label by
Balance Man. The 14-track cd, called Well
Balanced Meal, contains a wonderfully
intoxicating mix of jazz, funk, indie-rock,
electronica, hip hop and even some jazzy
d&b all mixed together in unique arrangements
within each track. If you imagine a Matmos,
Sun Ra, Live Human and Kreidler collaboration
then you'll have some idea what to expect.
You can hear an mp3 track from Well Balance
Meal at:

Also look out for the Electric Birds cd that
should be out on Deluxe soon. From the mp3
on the site it sounds like it's going to be a
gooden!
