Who's Who
John Sepulveda:
Matrix, on vocals and programming.
Additional Keyboards by:
Steve Coates and Bob Ludeman
Loaded with electronica-synth and samples, this release is a powerful blend of
Industrial-EMB mesh, hence the name: Frequency Coupler. Excellent demo, I LIKE IT,
LOTS!
First track: Humanity, is a
high energy piece of work with great drum effects, vocals and puppyish style synth
effects. Great keyboards! Convergence is equally good with a hard-driven mood,
infiltrated with XMTPedwalkish power-beat type of synth/drumbeats and sound and that
overall industrial flare. Give is an incredible piece of work, more EBMish in
nature, excellent vocals (John Sepulveda), theramin which I really enjoy hearing in this
type of music, and those fast-speed programmed drums. The music of Matrix is great dance
music. DJ's get a copy of this CD release now.
Overall, Matrix kicks ass. They
reside and play live on occaision in NYC. If you live there, don't miss them. One of the
best Industrial Demo's I have ever heard.
