Editorial Review:
Product Description:
His third record is a masterpiece of micro-melodies and sound bytes; a triumph of slicing, dicing, and editing. An intricate mosaic of sounds and styles recognizable from the last thirty years of pop, rock, prog, disco, funk, techno, rap, metal, and soul, but many of which are completely new, either by Max recombining genres or by inventing an original one. One song can sometimes sound like seven different bands from totally different worlds playing at once. Just call it cosmic glitch-pop R&B.
Album Description:
2008 release, the third album from this British electronic whiz. If you'd like a verbal description of this amazing music, try this: Yes playing Glitch Techno with Pharrell Williams fighting Todd Rundgren at the controls while Green Gartside offers his creamiest falsetto. Just call it Cosmic Glitch-Pop R&B. One of Max's biggest fans in the world is Owen Pallet, orchestrator for The Arcade Fire and Last Shadow Puppets. 10 tracks including the single 'Will Get Fooled Again'. Domino.

Parallax Error Beheads You, for those who were unacquainted with Max Tundra beforehand (as I was), is a shock. To avoid going into too much detail, this is pop. This is electro-pop. But it's not Beatles with electric instruments and synths filtered through ProTools. And I'm reluctant to use IDM, because it's not really dance. It is music for robots who have overthrown their human masters, and then found themselves reticent of the excessive violence they used to liberate themselves; they then tried to imitate the sounds their former overlords once made, called "music," in tribute through adoption of the former civilization's inexplicable cultural mores.
Exhibit A: "Which Song" which is both shameless condensation of Michael Jackson's pop hits into a single song and a flexing of Max Tundra's sequencing and electric-chord-progression muscles.
Exhibit B: "Orphaned" which is a demonstration of how CD skips can still make a melody, and a half decent one. Crackle, ... Read More

wow....i'm surprised that i'm the first person to post a review for the latest addition to Max Tundra's catalogue, as its easily one of the top albums of 2008....and its been almost three weeks since it was released!
Max (Ben Jacobs) hasnt put out an album since 2002's schizophrenic Mastered By Guy at The Exchange, a wonderful albeit slept-on album complete with light and feathery vocals and bouncy Peanuts-style piano lines...Parallax Error Beheads You, though,improves upon anything Jacobs has ever touched...the opening trio of songs are elctro-funk heaven...imagine Prince if he was a white Brit singing about ipods and screwing up badly on dates instead of his usual sexcapades...His singing, meanwhile, has improved along with his musical compositions...resulting in something that strikes as both classically pop but out of left field..."Which Song" "Gum Chimes" and "Will Get Fooled Again" perhaps form the strongest opening trio of songs on any release this year....but "Orphaned" and "Until ...
