Restless innovator, sampling wizard, classically trained pianist & superstar collaborator, MATTHEW HERBERT is one of electronic music's most versatile and prolific figureheads. Recording under his own name as well as DOCTOR ROCKIT, WISHMOUNTAIN, RADIO BOY etc, Herbert has also produced/remixed artists as diverse as BJORK, REM, JOHN CALE, ROISIN MURPHY, YOKO ONO & SERGE GAINSBOURG. Herbert's latest album, 'Scale', is his most pleasingly pop-friendly mellifluous so far. But beneath its deceptively glossy surface sheen of jazz, disco & sensual house rhythms lie quietly anguished meditations on mortality, global suffering and the end of the oil age. Among the 723 objects sampled on these lush tracks are coffins, petrol pumps, meteorites, an RAF Tornado bomber, etc. More than any previous Herbert album, 'Scale' combines immaculately groomed dance music with subversive subject matter.
