Add N to (X) - Demon Seed

Review by Kristine Joy Andrade

Demon Seed, the fourth studio album by British electronic band Add N to (X), is a thrilling and experimental journey through the depths of electronic music. Released in 2002, the album showcases the band's unique style of combining vintage synthesizers, drum machines, and live instrumentation to create a sound that is both retro and futuristic.

The album opens with the pulsing beats and ominous synth lines of "Plug Me In," setting the tone for the rest of the album. Tracks like "The Black Regent" and "Revenge of the Black Regent" showcase the band's ability to create dark, brooding soundscapes, while "King Wasp" and "Loud Like Nature" are more upbeat and danceable.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Total All Out Water," a haunting and hypnotic instrumental that builds slowly and steadily, creating a sense of tension and unease. Another highlight is "Hit Me," a frenetic and chaotic track that features distorted vocals and frenzied synth lines.
