Album Notes
Matmos: M.C. Schmidt (acoustic guitar, hurdy gurdy, recorder) Drew Daniel (electric guitar, sampling, sequencing).
Additional personnel includes: Jay Lesser (dobro); Mark Lightcap (tuba); Ned Howey (bassoon).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Ever-searching electronica experimentalists Matmos change their game yet again on THE CIVIL WAR. Renaissance folk, contemporary classical, Irish jigs, and a variety of other stylistic elements are mixed into Matmos's rapid-fire collages, with a blanket of martial drums and sonic warfare echoing the album's title. While its usual noise-guerilla ethos is in full effect, there is an undeniable artistry to the group's dense sound painting, cluttered as they are with microbeats, off-kilter melodies, and sonic detail. THE CIVIL WAR reinforces Matmos's status as one of the most consistently challenging and brilliant groups in the IDM genre.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - ...The 'Stars and Stripes Forever' is a pounding techno parody that would make John Philip Sousa proud...
Mojo (10/01/2003)

3 stars out of 5 - ...A deliberately disorienting blend of electronica, medieval folk and 19th-century Americana....Well worth checking out...
Q (10/01/2003)

Included in Wire's 50 Records Of The Year [2003]
The Wire (01/01/2004)

...At once sparse and finely embellished, these songs tell a tale of division and reunion, and of a desire to bridge the cloistered experimentalism of IDM with the richly imbued sounds of 100 or 1,000 years ago...
Magnet (11/01/2003)

3 stars out of 5 - ...Employing both period instruments and digital manipulation, Matmos amble and shuffle toward a new interpretation of history...
Rolling Stone (12/11/2003)
