Jun 20, 2017One word comes to mind to best describe this album: ingenious. The way the mundane sounds of a washing machine are made into such a beautiful and entertaining coherent sound and record is just freaking unbelievable. Ultimate Care II is fantastic.

Feb 19, 2016The admirable thing about this record is the diversity of sounds that Matmos are able to produce from a single object, saying this, the sounds don't come together to form something that is directly enjoyable to listen to. If I heard Matmos doing this at a laundromat I would be like "Oh my god, shut the hell up"

Mar 23, 2016Matmos have successfully transformed their washing machine into an instrument of righteousness as well as introspection, and while I am not surprised at their continued high level of craft, this one feels especially deep.

Mar 9, 2016Ultimate Care II doesn’t inspire one to peer closer into the musicality of everyday life; instead, you’ll constantly look at the time, wishing it’d sped up so you can move on with anything else.

Mar 7, 2016This is all standard Matmos; nothing here upsets their musical applecart. But the washing machine conceit gives their sample trickery a dramatic edge. It sometimes feels like we're descending deep into the innards of the machine.
