Sublime
The simplicity of the beautiful things or the beauty of the simple things? You are just given the right to create your own landscape. No compromise whatsoever in terms of time and space. You choose.

Metamatics "Spook Tinsel Shoal" Album Review

Auraldreamscapes.
A truly phenomenal disc. After months of waiting for something worth my time (last time was Amon Tobin), I came across this brilliant work by Metamatics. The music is simply spellbinding in its simplicity and sheer beauty. This release grows on you to the point that when you reach out to get a CD from your collection, chances are you'll go for this one. Relaxing and intense at the same time I found Metamatics to be a sophisticated exercise for my neurons and a balsamic maelstrom for my senses.

Naoki Kenji "Denshi Ongaku" Album Review

Smooth, chilled Asian electro
This album was a chance discovery for me. I seldom explore electronica outside its Northern European and US birthplaces. Best way I can describe this music would be 'chilled contemplative electronica'. Slow synthesised layers sweep over clicky baselines and minimal bleeps. There's also something of a videogame influence in this music - putting one in mind of the cyclic nature of Japanese RPG music.

The stand out track on this album for me is no. 6, The Island. No matter where you are and in what situation, that track will transport up up and away!
