Album Notes
The oddly named Add N To X seem to lust after a biomechanical breakdown of the distinctions between man and machine. Coaxing salacious grooves out of vintage synthesizers and voice processors, this Sheffield trio forges futuristic aggro-electro from the sounds of robotics in revolt. Their affection for technology often borders on full-blooded fetishism. WIRES and NERVES are key words here, the constituents of the group's Cronenberg-ian miscegenation of technology and biology.
Grating white-noise sonics and bubblegum tunefulness make up the skeleton of a "Murmur One" or "Orgy Of Bubastus." The flagrant machine-funk of "The Black Regent" actually sounds like a cyber-pimp's misappropriation of Stevie Wonder's "Part Time Lover!" Such android anthems as "Nevermind," "Sir Ape," and the title track trip the oscillators fantastic, swinging like cybernetic arms locked in loving embrace. "Sound Of Accelerating Concrete," a seductive bleep-ballet for Ballard-struck automobile enthusiasts, even gets a little romantic--in a mechanically passionless sort of way. Creepy but charming, just like Add N To X.
