Dianoes Noveau ...

"Tracks like “Dianoes Nouveau”, “Sunart”, and “Odds, Evens, and Primates” create dense atmospherics and embrace simple melodical phrases which are characterized by a sheer, short-lived innocence. Midway through the disc, the pronounced digital percussion pattern of “Fantastic Light” shatters this illusion, using garbled vocal samples to create a foreboding ambience. “MK Naomi” further fuels this mood with warped effects which swirl about in near-random sequences anchored with a sloppy breakbeat that soon succumbs to the sharp and swirling percussives of “Skylab One”. After murking about in a field of dub, the sudden jittery rhythmic pattern of “Ray Breakout” does just that by mimicking Cabaret Voltaire’s stronger moments, attacking the pervading heavy tones of the disc with random noise samples and distorted vocals. The last word from Metamorphic, “School Is Not Compulsory,” would not seem out of place on an early Moog demonstration album, as the extremely analogue synth intro twists about the odd rhythmic sample to create a subtle farewell hop." ...dustedmagazine.com


John Peel session 2003 ...

"The manner in which Christ arranges his instruments is confusing at first. The music has movement and there's an element of hip-hop in some songs, but often there's a feeling as if the music is only producing the illusion of movement. The quality of the entire album is very organic and gooey. Metamorphic is neither entirely dark nor wholly joyous; instead it strikes a nice balance between the two extremes that makes it listenable at about any time." ... brainwashed.com ...
