Editor's review
It's a Christopher Columbus-like question: if you go ridiculously far with synthesizers, will you come full circle and wind up with organic music? Matmos's new all-synth concept implies the musical earth is round, making intense keyboardism feel almost down-home.
Biography
The new album from Matmos finds the dynamic duo taking a holiday from conceptual responsibility, skipping the outre 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.
