Review by alex_snax

You can bet this album is original and something you have never heard before or could have even imagined.»

expanding upon the ambitious premise of their 'ganzfeld ep', baltimore based electronic duo matmos release their first new full length album in five years on thrill jockey records: 'the marriage of true minds'. matmos are known for making toe-tapping rhythmic pop out of odd and unusual sound sources. they have always worn genre loosely, but it's safe to say that this is the first electronic album to start with tap dancing and end with doom metal, and the only album on which members of nautical almanac and the arditti string quartet rub shoulders. comprising stomping techno, eerie synth jams, musique concrete, latin rhythms, and ethiopian music, at once at home in the academy, the art gallery, the nightclub and the noise warehouse, the dizzyingly diverse assemblage which is 'the marriage of true minds' is driven by a tightly unified conceptual agenda: telepathy.
