THUMBTACK SMOOTHIE, Math is hard
Manic Obsessive Recordings, 2002

EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONICA

Arythmic, erratic, hermetic, claustrophobic, this album would make a great hymn for out-of-order robots..., as for humans, they will have quite a hard time connecting emotionally with this.
It leaves you perplexed at best or sick/disgusted at worst. (it definitely makes you feel uneasy throughout)

All songs feature fast beats, synthetic sounds, low, heavily processed samples.

Everything sounds synthetic, this is the antithesis of organic music.

01 - 05:59 - fast drum machine beat, analog synths, low processed samples
02 - 07:40 - same for rest of album
