Huw Phew maybe i got to you just in time. Add N to X are a slightly strange 3-some from London. They play the moog & that knob twiddling thing that just goes wwwwhaaaaaaa at higher frequencies till you're ears hurt (theramine??!!sp?)& related Drum machines in a slightly mad slowed down charlatans instrumental way - looking at that description that makes them sound utter bobbins but they're not. On the web they are described thusly "ADD N TO X is "Avant Hard". "Avant Hard" is the title for their music a sort of cross between Manic Street Preachers, Suicide, Kraftwerk and Throbbing Gristle" ummmm! They are a hundred times cleverer than Air, more inventive & for a band with no vocals strange as it may sound i find them funny. Air are probably the wrong band to compare but when i bought Mobile Safari i was expecting it to sound like the 12"s that i had by N to X. They released 2 on their own label 'Satellite', King Wasp & The Black Regent/Murmur One, which are very nice items. King Wasp came in with a 3d picture on thesleeve with some spex in with the record & The Black Regent had a man with a welding mask on with part of it cut out for a sheet of Add N to X plastic to poke out behind....oh yes the tunes are good as well & both are on the LP 'On The Wires On Our Nerves' - Go Buy They also had a LP out in 1996 called Veros Electronics Look for more info on http://www.blowup.demon.co.uk/addntox/index.htm Let me know if you're convinced & then on monday you can give me a good ear-bash for wasting your hard earned pennies. Ha-Ha Cheers Paul.
