Suspended hundreds of miles above the earth
Two tracks spanning eight minutes see IXRQ (aka Simon Matthews) unleash raw, unrestrained acid electro machine music that will undoubtedly resonate with admirers of Drexciya, Carl Finlow, Datassette, and Adapta/Bitstream. The sharp bleeps, kinetic breaks, and simmering funk of “Afterimage ’98” evoke the sensation of sound engineered in an isolated capsule, suspended hundreds of miles above the earth. Meanwhile, “Plastic” serves as a rugged connective tissue for this two-part suite, its coarse synth layers hovering over a driving robotic cadence and spectral vocal traces. The Future is Plastic, as a whole, channels a throbbing, forceful strain of electro-nics certain to captivate followers of Central Processing Unit, brokntoys, Shipwrec, and Clone.
