The debut full-length from Matmos, "Quasi-Objects," arrived in 1998, predating their signing to Matador by two years. This release showcases their early interest in abstract electronic textures and intricate, often abrasive, rhythmic programming.
- The album was initially released on the vinyl-only label Pernik Int., limited to 1,000 copies.
- Electronic Music Review described the album as an "intricate, almost punishingly detailed exploration of sonic minutiae."
- _Quasi-Objects_ was reissued on CD in 2008 by Matador Records, featuring newly commissioned liner notes.
Matmos is the experimental electronic duo of M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel, formed in San Francisco in 1997. They are known for their conceptual approach to sound, often using custom-built instruments and found objects to create complex, rhythmic electronic music.
