The three humans behind the suggestive sound barrage of Add N To (X) - Barry 7, Ann Shenton and Steve Claydon - plugged in their equipment in 1993 with the intention of creating music that would be highly unconventional, profoundly evocative, and open to wild ideas. With what amounted to a political will to oppose dull and predictable use of machine as well as organic instruments, and a revulsion at the rise of coffee table electronic music, they were bound to be intriguing. What they have achieved in just over half a decade has, however, demolished all expectations and built a purposefully deranged sonic edifice on top, visible from all corners of the planet.
Over three albums and a multitude of accompanying singles, videos and world tours, they have established a body of work edgier, ruder, more extrovert and coherently schizoid than any other functioning band. Their dirty and joyful beat noise, sinister analog-ola and robo-dada diskorganisation has excavated an underground city of possibilities. On and off record they’ve proved themselves to be the least culturally pre-set of all bands with an inspired co-mingling of dildos and theramins, kick drums and punch ups, triggering finches and speaker distending dissension.
If all Add N To (X) music onwards from their NME championed debut singles in 1997 sounded as if the synthesisers had been given as much input as the humans (assuming the synths were of a horny and unstable seditionary inclination) the third album, 2000’s acclaimed “Add Insult To Injury” indicated that the compromise did not always have to be fractious.

Does anyone know what the members of the band are doing these days? I know Ann is currently doing some DJ sets, but they should really get over it and get back together, even though their last album was rather weak. I would kill to see them live.
