Max Tundra (British electronic musician Ben Jacobs), who debuted with the
single Children At Play (1998),
represented the singer-songwriter as it evolved into a computer technician.
Each instrumental piece on
Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be (2000),
including the singles Cakes (2000) and Ink Me (2000),
as well as the 12-minute Carbon Cones,
was a smooth albeit energetic and chaotic digital collage that mined soul, funk and/or synth-pop of past ages and transposed them into contemporary cacophony,
manufactured by painstakingly assembling electronic sounds
and samples of live instruments (all played by Jacobs himself).
While the addition of vocals (both male and female) on Mastered By Guy At The Exchange (Tigerbeat6, 2002) was not necessarily a welcome one, the songs
were indeed constructed more elegantly.
Computers enabled him to dispel the notion that chaos means dissonance.
After a long hiatus, Parallax Error Beheads You (2008), including the
10-minute melodic fantasia Until We Die, restored him to the throne of
digital pop music with a more mild-mannered set.
