Electronic

Matmos is a Electronic act. Their sound grew out of 20 Jazz Funk Greats, Acetone and Throbbing Gristle. Those roots explain a lot about how Matmos arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Autechre, Actress, Plaid, Jan Jelinek and Ryoji Ikeda, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Björk, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 19 connections around Matmos, reaching back through 20 Jazz Funk Greats and forward to Björk.
