Accompanied by a wide assortment of buzzes, clicks, manic beeps, and robotic voices come Add N to X with their debut album On the Wires of Our Nerves, a collection of tracks that promises to intrigue more than just hardened electronic-music fans. Although comparisons to various German electronic outfits are to be expected, they really do seem to have forged their very own style; Add N to X rely on samplers, heavily treated vocals, and real drums much more than their Central European counterparts. Consisting of Barry Smith, Ann Shenton, and Steve Claydon (a recent addition), Add N to X make their electronic musical instruments do their bidding, often to the point of meltdown, and create works that are in no danger of ever going out of style. --Paul Clark

REVIEW
The album seems borrowed from such un-musical sources as stereo test records, short wave interference, antediluvian video table games and the most primitive avant-garde experiments with electronic tone generation ... worst of all--you cant even dance to it. -- Option

[A] delicate balance of atonal and melodic, grating and poppy. There's an almost physical quality to the sounds they make and the production is so sharp that you can almost feel the oily analogue pulses brush by your cheek. Each of the songs have a multilayered depth that unfolds and evolves, forming a pop hook or a funky organ solo. The keyboards produce a sound so unabashedly alien that it's easy to separate the noise from the instrument itself. Underneath most of the songs is the raw sound of unprocessed drums, tethering the extreme sounds to the rhythm. -- URB
