The next release in Lapsus Records "Perennial" series is from veteran producer Lee Norris, also known as Metamatics, the pseudonym under which he has spent more than two decades creating melodic IDM and sophisticated electro. Norris is an artist who warrants his cult following with an extensive catalog and countless monikers, including his main work as Metamatics and alternative projects Norken, Nacht Plank, Ishqamatic, and Autumn Of Communion. This unflagging artist with an enviable track record behind him has released material on labels such as Delsin, Hydrogen Dukebox, Dot, Numbers and Clear, as well as running his own record labels Neo Ouija, ...txt, XTT Recordings and Nagual. His seminal EP series 01, 02, 03, and 04 was originally released between 1997 and 1998 on the now defunct but influential Clear label. Compiled as A Metamatics Production, the tracks breathed fresh air into the global IDM scene and were comprised of crystal-clear futuristic sounds, flirting with complex and funky drum & bass that carried both UK and Detroit influences, a true masterpiece. More than twenty years since its original release in 1997, Lapsus Records present the British producer's original debut album A Metamatics Production, released in full and on vinyl for the first time. Silver "blob" in yellow vinyl; remastered; includes limited edition insert.

"The first in a series of three remix projects involving Lee Norris, Rewired In My Manor sees Lee operating as Metamatics (parts two and three are under his Norken and Nacht Plank guises). What links these projects together is not only that they stem from the same person, but the fact that all three are reinterpretations of Lee's tracks done by artists that have found Lee through the internet. The result of brief conversations of appreciation and inspiration which developed into friendships and have now become regular brainstorms via the www.NeoOuija.co.uk chat room, those involved became part of the 'family' through sharing a common love for glitchy electronics and seductive, pulsing rhythms -- it is these parameters by which they have reinterpreted the Metamatics project. With the exception of two tracks taken from Metamatics most recent album, From Death To Passwords When You Are a Paper Aeroplane, the bulk of Rewired In My Manor started as one previously unreleased track, 'Pod'. All the remixers were given elements of the track via the internet, which they interpreted and sent back, also via the net. The result is a fusion of melody, clicky percussion and warm, blissful ambience, blending sounds that will in turn please the ear and assault the brain with the unexpected." Artists include: Yasume, Verbose, Ilkae, Sleepy Town Manufacture, ENV(itre), Sabi, Kero, Stars As Eyes, Kettel, Xela vs Aeiou, Bauri, and Mati:K. Limited stock.
