Synthetic Revelry

"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!

"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.""
