4.0 out of 5 stars Synthetic Revelry, January 18, 2001

This review is from: Add Insult to Injury (Audio CD)

This is a far more accomplished offering than Add N To X's previous "Avant Hard" album. From the onset, this trio of antique synth and organic drum dabblers builds insistent grooves with a pleasantly cheesy edge. There's a well-balanced focus on both the rhythmic gains that have been made in the techno arena over the last few years and the undeniable cuteness of synth-pop tunes from several decades ago. They're also not afraid to try their hand at the vocoder, an instrument which has become all to fashionable of late.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Yet, November 20, 2000

Add N to X thankfully keep on getting better and better! And it's almost like theyre morphing into the world's best retro-futuristic minimalist jam band. Not what you'd expect from three analog synths and a drummer, they definitely rock on this album and the compositions are better that ever...sometimes majestic sounding, some times infused with a punk attitude, some times melodic or bluesy, the album runs the gamit while retaining a higher level of cohesion than on past albums. And they definitely jam, use cool sounds and almost fusion-y, often rump shaking beats. I'm really enjoying it, and well, of course I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mini KORG never sounded so good!, August 2, 2001

This was the secound album I bought from Add N to X, its a great piece of work. Its a very gritty synthesizer driven album done with vintage synths and a real drummer (as apposed to a drum machine). I also like their use of the vocoder. This record is a little more pop than "On The Wires of Our Nerves."
