One of the best new artists to come out of the high-profile Clear Records camp, Metamatics was formed by Lee Norris and Dominic Kennedy. Similar to the fragile melodies of µ-Ziq but with an emphasis on spare dowtempo breakbeats and crispy percussion, Norris and Kennedy debuted on Clear with four EPs during early 1997. Their debut album A Metamatics Production appeared in April of that year. After Kennedy's departure, Neo Ouija followed in 1998, on the Japanese P-Vine label. Metamatics resurfaced two years later with Spook Tinsel Shoal and Project Unison (the latter a collaboration with Clatterbox). ~ John Bush, Rovi
