Amazon.com "There is no past and there is no future," says Add N to (X)'s Barry Smith. "It's just what happens when you turn the machine on." Time and space do have a way of collapsing when the trio switch on their ancient synths. On their third outing, quickstepping space-age robo-bachelor pad music ("Adding N to X"), fuzzed-up funk ("Incinerator No. 1"), and even fuzzier butt rock ("Brothel Charge") all share the same stage with the utmost civility. The mindless brilliance of "Monster Bobby" (think Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye") somehow seems to fit on the same record as the solemn electro-blues of "B.P. Perino" and the epic and medieval closing of the funereal "The Regent Is Dead." In the teeming nest of imitators that is rock music in the year 2000, it's nice to be able to say that the world can take refuge in Add N to (X)'s unique shtick: a future view cobbled out of the past, a nostalgia for a time that never quite was. --Bob Michaels Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSynthetic Revelry Dirk Hugo | Cape Town, South Africa | 01/18/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a far more accomplished offering than Add N To X's previous "Avant Hard" album. From the onset, this trio of antique synth and organic drum dabblers builds insistent grooves with a pleasantly cheesy edge. There's a well-balanced focus on both the rhythmic gains that have been made in the techno arena over the last few years and the undeniable cuteness of synth-pop tunes from several decades ago. They're also not afraid to try their hand at the vocoder, an instrument which has become all to fashionable of late." A Mini KORG never sounded so good! M. Williams | Texas, USA | 08/02/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This was the secound album I bought from Add N to X, its a great piece of work. Its a very gritty synthesizer driven album done with vintage synths and a real drummer (as apposed to a drum machine). I also like their use of the vocoder. This record is a little more pop than "On The Wires of Our Nerves.""
