http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8947590&rws=%2Fmax-tundra%2Ftop-tracks.rssTo call Max Tundra an electronic music artist is rather to miss the point. While it's samplers, synths and sequencers that make his self-produced, obsessively pieced music possible, he certainly doesn't aim to belong to any recognizable dance-music subgenre. Instead, he uses his circuitry as a means to assembling a kind of hyperactive, hybrid pop music that takes in everything from Prince to the Beatles to Metallica, via John Cage, Steely Dan and Squarepusher. The hermetic, low-key Londoner began his career in 1998 with the <I>Children at Play</I> EP for Warp, but it was 2005's <I>Mastered by Guy at the Exchange</I> that solidified Tundra's rep as a master craftsman of eccentric, uplifting pop music. In 2008, after three years spent painstakingly programming (and deprogramming, and reprogramming) every step of the music on an antiquated computer, he released <I>Parallax Error Beheads You</I>, his goofiest, most gregarious and soulful record yet. - Philip SherburneLaptronicaen720Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:50:25 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.8947590&rws=%2Fmax-tundra%2Ftop-tracks.rss To call Max Tundra an electronic music artist is rather to miss the point.
