█ This EP is the single for Matmos' excellent A
█ Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure LP. In case you
█ haven't heard, the conceit of that record is that
█ much of the source sounds were recorded during
█ various plastic surgery procedures. "California
█ Rhinoplasty," the only album track on this record,
█ is a scattered collage of rhythms, beeps, clicks,
█ whirs, and other strange noises and a goofy little
█ melody played on something called a "nose flute."
█ It's somewhat reminiscent of a more laid back
█ Mouse on Mars, but more grisly. Most of the sounds
█ are not recognizable, but they throw in some wet
█ stuff just to keep you aware of what's happening.
█ The stuff that makes this EP interesting, though,
█ as with any single release, is the other tracks,
█ which here consist of a cover song and two remixes
█ of "California Rhinoplasty." Now, that may not
█ sound interesting, but what you may not know is
█ that the cover is of a Coil song, and the remixes
█ are not regular remixes. Matmos sent Matthew
█ Herbert and Surgeon (of course!) the raw
█ recordings of the surgeries but did not provide
█ them with the their song. So you get, in essence,
█ two totally new takes on the idea. Brilliant!
█
█ Though I am a huge Coil fan, the cover of "Disco
█ Hospital," from Coil's masterpiece the out of
█ print (a curse upon Wax Trax Records!) Love's
█ Secret Domain is the weakest track. Most of the
█ song sticks too close to the original, which kind
█ of defeats the purpose of the song. The original
█ is exciting because it's a cut-up, which provides
█ the song with its weird and unique cadence.
█ Mimicking that kind of undermines the whole
█ purpose of doing a cut up. What saves the track is
█ that, like their album, the source materials are
█ from medical procedures, and it's fun to pick out
█ which ones are different from the Coil version.
█ Plus it's a cool song.
█
█ The two remixes are, in a way, more disturbing
█ than the Matmos version. Matthew Herbert's "Doctor
█ Rockit's Surgery With Complications" uses the
█ source sounds in a more direct way. That is, they
█ sound more like they were produced during surgical
█ procedures than the sweetened up versions we get
█ from Matmos. It's an eerie effect, underpinned
█ with an insistent rhythm track. About half way
█ through, some humming synths take over the music,
█ and a weird vocal recording of a description of
█ the olfactory system becomes fairly dominant. It's
█ much stranger than anything Matmos did with these
█ recordings, which may be better as it forces the
█ listener to confront the music's origin.
█
█ Surgeon's "Second Opinion" remix is by far the
█ strongest track. If you know Surgeon, you can
█ pretty much guess what this sounds like: minimal,
█ cold, hard, and unsettling. The sounds have been
█ processed into dark hums and drones, scrapes and
█ thumps, which ebb and flow ominously. The concept,
█ which is gruesome in a creep show kind of way in
█ the hands of Matmos and unsettling in the hands of
█ Matthew Herbert, becomes frightening and horrific
█ under Surgeon's care. Instead of watching Dr.
█ Frankenstein, the listener feels like his
█ unwilling subject, strapped to the table, waiting
█ for the knife.
█
█ This EP is great because even if you already have
█ the album, it has a whole different kind of feel,
█ which is, of course, that of Coil, Matthew
█ Herbert, and Surgeon. Rather than pump up the
█ record with filler that didn't make the cut, we
█ get first rate stuff. Plus it clocks in at nearly
█ 30 minutes, which, taken altogether, makes this
█ one worth it.
