Max Tundra - Mastered by Guy at the Exchange
Original release: 2002
I was introduced to Max Tundra by my friendly, local, vinyl pusher back in 2002, when this album came out. She figured that since I liked Squarepusher and various indie acts, this would be right up my alley, and boy, was it ever.
It has the same chaotic, hectic, maximalist vibe that Squarepusher had in the Go Plastic era, but Max Tundra is doing it with warm, bright, pleasant sounds, so the result is vastly different and extremely groovy at times.
Turns out that Max Tundra also did some songs for the soundtrack for the 2022 computer game Trombone Champ, which is a stupidly hilarious game on its own, and it is only made better by Max’s appearance.
