Album Capsules--Matmos

Matmos

The Marriage of True Minds

83/100

What a fun experimental electronic album.  If you like the music, that's the first adjective you're prone to think of: fun.  In a nutshell, these guys started an experiment.  In it, they tried to communicate their intentions in this album telepathically to their subjects.  Then the subjects reports what they were thinking about.  The end result?  A bunch of the subjects were thinking about triangles.  So they made the album with this info, and they included vocals of the subjects reporting what they were seeing.  And then they made track two, named "Very Large Green Triangles."  That song is below.  It's freaky, but give it time.  The beats don't start for a while.  What a great--fun--idea for an album.
