“Matmos samples a wash cycle, and creates beautiful music with said samples.”
“The absence of track titles sometimes forces the listener to reach further into the album's alien sounds, but as Ultimate Care II hits the five-minute mark the novelty wears off and absorption into the composition's overall mood takes place, as Matmos do a terrific job of blending the album's noises (which ranges from water sloshing to lids slamming to knobs grinding) into a captivating whole.”
“Matmos have drawn inspiration from many far-flung and mundane sources, and on Ultimate Care II they source every sound from the Whirlpool washing machine of the same name.”
