Metamatics - Bodypop (Neo Ouija - NEO37)





Lee Norris under the alias Metamatics, released the album Bodypop in November 2016, on the label Neo Ouija. Contains fourteen tracks of Electro with IDM elements and Acid flavoring. The CD is issued as a limited edition of 150 copies. The album contained eleven original compositions and three remixes by Dokun, The Shape, and Ambidextrous.

Listening to the album provided me with a feeling of a mysterious atmosphere like driving on lonely roads at night or with rainy weather. Ambient music elements are highly felt across the tracks, as can be expected from an experienced Ambient producer like Lee Norris. My favorite tracks are Moor Mist and Bodyzip remixed by The Shape. The album was a pleasure to listen to and it is one of those albums that sounds better with multiple listens.

I really enjoyed this album and I recommend it. I rate the music as 8/10. The artwork for this release, although not my cup of tea, gives me a sense of mystery or a sinister feeling. I rate the artwork as 7/10.
The CD version is cased in a jewel cases, which is my preferred kind of packaging. The new CD case also come sealed in cellophane plastic for added protection against dirt and scratches. I rate the packaging as 10/10.
