The Sales Department - Accounts

Accounts by The Sales Department

4...according to our on Thu 22 Nov, 2007.


The Sales Department: 'Accounts' also on (TQA) is a five track ep that starts out like something on Benbecula or somesuch bedroom electronica project. Recorded across two continents in Thailand, Canada and China, the opening track begins to sound more and more like BOC, with is percussive beats, haunting subliminal vocal snippets and blue melodies. A little more hushed in comparison to label mates Apillow, the minimal ambient styled approach gives these brooding sound-scapes room to breathe and seep into your mind. Subliminal in the way 'Music has A Right To Children' was as spooky in its repeated playability.

MD Matheson formed  e Sales Department in
2006 after successfully leading Beef Terminal
through a decade of analogue samples and guitar
based core values.  e main idea behind this
project is portability. Making music with a
computer and found sounds, without real
instruments, wherever he may be. TSD could
be found at home in Toronto or mixing on
a plane during on his travels throughout
 ailand & China!
 e results: Music made by computers operated
by a human, reminescent of a comeback of Warp
Records' IDM ambient artists such as Autechre,
Aphex Twin & Boards of Canada, with the
transposed essence of Beef Terminal's soul.
Accounts «
Accounts is  e Sales Department’s first release
after several Beef Terminal full-length on Noise
Factory Records. It reveals five tracks of digital
ambiences, electronics and glitches has been
recorded throughout the summer of 2007.
MD Matheson creates his own soundtrack
to his own bleak decaying world of advanced
technology and digital landscapes.  e digital
sounds of human souls being sucked and
desensitized by global markets, world
leaderships, CEOs, taxes. stocks,
receivables & annual reports.
What is left of their hearts at the end of the day
is the sound of rainy evenings, riding the tube
back to the short comfort of their home
and induced consumption of disposable
goods to fill up the void
