The music itself runs the gamut of minimal synth anthems, d.i.y. jazz punk, grey industrial sci-fi and new wave disco crossovers. All are linked by an outsider sensibility and also a determination that any skill deficiencies could be overcome by sticking to the new born mantra of the times " Minimalist Music for the Masses " Matt escaped his post punk cassette culture past in the later eighties by forming the cartoon-improvising, electronic sampling beast known as Stock, Hausen & Walkman. Often accused of "Making music ABOUT music!" I'm not sure that's a bad thing considering how much music we find ourselves wading through these days.
Fans of his records include, Mike D ( beastie boys ), autechre, Jarvis Cocker, Lady Miss Kier ( deee-lite ), Harry Hosono (Yellow Magic Orchestra), Matt Groening, John Peel R.I.P., Thurston Moore and probably a few others? but there is no guarantee any of those people share YOUR taste or ineffable sense of style.
