MATMOS - SUPREME BALLOON (180g 2LP WITH 4 VINYL ONLY BONUS TRACKS)

Matmos Supreme Balloon On 180g 2 x LP + 4 Vinyl Only Bonus Tracks and MP3 Coupon

The new album from Matmos finds them taking a holiday from conceptual responsibility, skipping the outré sampling antics in favor of a lighthearted "cosmic pop" record made entirely out of synthesizers. Leave it to Matmos to invent a hard and fast rule that they have to follow even when they're just having fun: the creative restriction this time around is that Supreme Balloon is an ALL synthesizer album and no microphones were used at any point. Gear fetishists take note: the exotic and antiquated synths used on the record heavily spotlight the classic 60s/70s/80s consumer electronic rigs of Arp, Korg, Roland, Waldorf and Moog. But there are also one-of-a-kind curios present, such as the "Coupigny" modular synthesizer housed in the INA/GRM studios at Radio France in Paris and used extensively by some of the titans of musique-concrete. Double LP in heavy-duty Stoughton gatefold, pressed in HQ-180 gram vinyl at RTI plus MP3 coupon. Vinyl includes 4 extra tracks, including a collaboration with Terry Riley.
