Add N to X - On The Wires Of Our Nerves (Limited Anniversary Edition on Colored Vinyl)

Accompanied by a wide assortment of buzzes, clicks, manic beeps, and robotic voices come Add N to X with their debut album On the Wires of Our Nerves, a collection of tracks that promises to intrigue more than just hardened electronic-music fans. Although comparisons to various German electronic outfits are to be expected, they really do seem to have forged their very own style; Add N to X rely on samplers, heavily treated vocals, and real drums much more than their Central European counterparts. Consisting of Barry Smith, Ann Shenton, and Steve Claydon (a recent addition), Add N to X make their electronic musical instruments do their bidding, often to the point of meltdown, and create works that are in no danger of ever going out of style. --Paul Clark
