Everything he does skews outside of typical industry expectations and is imbued with an otherness that's by turns puckish and sinister. That includes this 80 minute hybrid beast, Confessions of a Permanent Alien Opium Beater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere between a Dadaistic mixtape, a surreal audio collage sourced from his record collection, and sporadic interjections from Madteo's own storehouse of outlandish and intriguing productions, this 79-minute journey reveals the man's freewheeling rigor in the studio. Early on, a stoic woman intones, “We are like-minded individuals, sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of color lines,” which serves as Madteo's musical mission statement for what is simultaneously a critique and a celebration of his adopted country. A cavalcade of surprising voices—a profane child, a militant pro-black poet, an eccentric “millionaire,” a woman under demonic possession, etc.—weaves in and out of abstract, unsettling, spacey electronic music that at times recalls DJ Spooky's similarly eerie and cryptic 1995 mix Necropolis: The Dialogic Project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProne to glitching, rhythmic ruptures, and end-times bass frequencies, Confessions surfs quark-infested waters with hallucinogenic logic. Fragmentation rules everything around Madteo. You will hear—among other things—Adderall-addled Danny Brown raps subsumed by mutant techno, radio ads for trance-blues masters Canned Heat, riveting noise-techno merging into lopsided hip hop reminiscent of Jan Jelinek's Exposures project, the passionate folk balladry of Lucio Battisti, the glittery soul of Billy Preston, and some of the coldest and oddest electro funk ever. Throughout, Madteo flaunts baffling, unprecedented sounds arranged in confounding configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConfessions of a Permanent Alien Opium Beater is another crucial piece of a discography from one of music's most fascinating enigmas, a celestial lysergic jukebox that conjures new pleasures and deeper mysteries with each listen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madteo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42244289364192,"sku":"OPX02","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/5988\/9376\/products\/Madteo-Confessions-of-a-Permanent-Alien-Opium-Beater.jpg?v=1640603137"},{"product_id":"head-gone-wrong-by-noise-2lp","title":"Head Gone Wrong By Noise (2LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadteo – Head Gone Wrong By Noise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Visceral, elemental, electronic funk, conjured from scraps of sound, breath, mutterings, dubwise remembrances, scuffling, sweat and blood, thin air — ‘crawled out of the slime’, as the opener puts it, self-engendering like the baddie in Terminator — all harnessed to cruelly grooving earthquake bass and b-boy drum science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhythmically it has ants in its pants and it needs to dance, with an improvisatory, streetwise nervous energy and uninhibited, purposeful rapture — akin to this guy, say, eighteen minutes in — crossed with on-song Pepe Bradock and stripped-to-the-bone, mongrel hip-hop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s unruly and edgy, a bit off its rocker, emotionally ranging — typically anxious, often nostalgic — and riveting dance music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJudge-dread mastering by D\u0026amp;M; first-class Pallas pressing; stunning gatefold artwork by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumcityshop.pro\/collections\/label-the-trilogy-tapes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eWill Bankhead\u003c\/a\u003e.
