"I think this is the first MOAM album I heard but what an introduction. Shortly after buying it I received some of their early, more surf oriented stuff but 1000X is the work of artists who are truly unwilling to repeat their already successful formula and are pushing and pulling their sound into a new and extremely exciting and original shape. Every song's a winner and the length leaves you craving more. I used to play it at least twice a day. The mix of experimental instrumental tracks, sound bites and the occasional idiosyncratic pop number with vocals make for a truly varied album. You'll keep coming back just to hear all of the cool little noises that bubble away in the background.This is Devo influenced maths rock but with all the spontaneity of the garage. New new new new wave. Exaggerated Surf for hipsters, beatnicks, freaks and the sexy chick from the Jetsons. Truly music for the future. If these astro-men are as popular in the future as they claim they already are (having mastered the art of time travel), it will be a much better world indeed."
