ah fine don't offer me any help but instead force me to write some more.
;)

the only matmos i have is the aformentioned self titled disc.  i like it
quite a bit.  it doesn't really sound much like autechre, but probably
would appeal to those that appreciate autechre's sensibility.  the cd i
have is quite varied, from a very long trancy tribal piece (which i like
and i don't usually like that kinda stuff), to the d'n'b piece that i
want more of, to coil-esque ambience.  lots of quirky sounds.  the music
sounds a little static at first, but it is always evolving on a micro
level.  recommended.  i'm not sure about their other cds though, as i
believe that they're more in the cd fuckery realm, which may or not
appeal to you...
