Collaborative project between David Kempston (Clatterbox) and Lee
Norris (Metamatics). Clatterbox had a CD on Clear Records ('Eazy
Does It') a few years ago. Metamatics have several records. The
latest was only added to WZBC's playlist through the gullbuy 3
weeks ago. "Following the success of the first two Neo releases
comes Project Unison, the first album release from Neo Ouija. This
is a collaborative work by Metamatics and Clatterbox, both formerly
Clear artists. The concept behind the project was to produce
remixes of tracks that didn╣t really exist. Each artist found the
sounds that the other created interesting, so exchanged DAT tapes
of samples by post and then worked to produce 4 tracks each from
the sounds that were received. The result is warm, melancholic
electronica, often sad, always beautiful and full of neo ouija, the
sound of new magic. Interestingly each artist╣s pieces of music
resembles a part of the others soul even though there was a
detached element in the creation." I really like the 4th song on
the A-side ("Heddon Zara Spook"). It is very spritely. I also like
the 2nd song on the A-side ("Allegro"). The first song on the
B-side ("Jet Set") gets good after the beginning, which has a
Rhodes sound that to me sounds a little dated, unless you love the
sound of Clear Records CD's by As One, Doctor Rockit, and
Metamatics. Their 1997 discs had a jazzy feel that defined the time
for me. Point is, "Jet Set" starts with that sound, though the song
moves beyond it into a good cut. The B-sides centerpiece is
"Organic Healty Robot" which bubbles along for a fair length, going
through changes along the way.
