Opaque Couche

Description

MBM's consistent musical invention has led to all forms of electronic musical experimentation over its 31 year history, from jungle to techno to industrial to dubstep to jazz fusion. Future live dates will explore and re-examine MBM?s long string of influential futuristic classics including such groundbreaking tracks as "God O.D.", "Drop", "Helter Skelter", "Radio Babylon", "Edge of No Control" to "It's The Music". The single, "Prime Audio Soup" (from the album Actual Sounds and Voices) was prominently featured in the sci-fi fantasy blockbuster The Matrix and on its platinum-selling soundtrack. Opaque couch? recently won "the title of 'World's Ugliest Colour'. So why did Meat Beat Manifesto name its new album Opaque Couch?? "I wanted to do a title based around a particular colour, so I wanted to give opaque couch? a chance since it's not black or white," explains MBM mastermind Jack Dangers. Opaque Couch? finds the seminal electronic band in a mischievous, rhythm-based mood, recalling some of the band's groundbreaking early work while still stretching modern boundaries. "I wanted to go back to my roots and reinvent it," says Dangers - and reinvent he does! "An electronica genius"- New York Daily News "Holy sh*t, this is HEAVY!" ? URB "Intriguing and intimidating, Dangers' cultural osterizing evolves to the nth degree of studio sophistication" - Rolling Stone "... a surround sound sensorium." ? WIRED
