Matmos- Exciter Lamp and the Variable Band

Behold! The first video from Matmos' new album "Supreme Ballon". 'Exciter Lamp and the Variable Band' is sort of an homage to Norman McLaren, the Canadian animation/direct sound magus.

Directed by M.C. Schmidt
Supreme Balloon available on Matador Records May 6, 2008

This is shite.

I actually really like the music, but honestly, the video freaks me the fuck out, especially the random mouth opening and shutting near the end xD

@nickshel I'm not going to do that.

Peace

@FlamSalad Ok fair enough. Next time you dislike an artist though I would appreciate it, especially if it's an artist I love, if you wouldn't challenge its qualification to be music. From your comment I thought you were one of those Heavy Grim Death Black Emo Metal fans who ended up on a good music video.

Everyone's entitled to opinions but please try to be less offensive. Peace.

@nickshel This isn't about Philistinism, this is me checking out a particular artist and disliking it (embellished of course for the lolz) Wasted intellect ;)

[nickshel]

@FlamSalad Good question. Your normal taste in music obviously seems inadequate after sampling the delights of Matmos.

Unless I interpret you wrongly and you believe that YOU really have to RIGHT to JUDGE what MUSIC is? Seriously I've heard of ignoramus but that's beyond that, its Philistism.

Ive got an idea, why don't you scroll up to the search bar. Type in [name of popular artist here] and go back to your blissful ignorance of any culture movement of intergrety or importance. Have fun.

@Kaskade2009 Ratatat are quite good but not as good as this IMO.
