Interplay

Reissue of MATT ELLIOTT's last 3 albums in a deluxe 7xLP box. Matt Elliott has rather an atypical course... He used to work under the pseudo the Third Eye Foundation - emblematic figure of the English electronic scene recognized for his atypical electro tinted by drum' N bass. Since his first album under his own name "The mess we made" (Domino records), Matt Elliott turns to compositions much more folk, forsaking the laptop and the machines - which go until disappearing, to return to more traditional instruments (guitar, piano, violin...). Matt creates in the Songs trilogy some slavonic tune, without any definite frontier, whose only and constant heritage finds it's roots in European music. This is a very haunted and personal piece of music which is the testimony of a unique talent where moving melodies follow other moving melodies balancing between ballad songs and folk music, madness and reason, revolt and despair.
