Basictonalvocabulary
“As Surgeon, UK producer Anthony Child composes an aggressive, peculiar mix of techno, industrial music, and noise. His three best albums, 1997's Basictonalvocabulary, 1998's Balance, and 1999's Force + Form, are seeing re-release at a time when his influence has become apparent in a new generation of misfits.”
From Farthest Known Objects
“The UK techno producer Anthony Child, better known as Surgeon, returns to techno after a few years of ambient electronic music. The more time you spend with the album, the more it begins to feel like a universe of pure texture: There are no melodies, just gnarled one- and two-bar loops that wend their way across the tracks like inchworms through radioactive ash.”
Breaking the Frame
“Surgeon's first album in a decade foregrounds the chilly austerity associated with the veteran British producer's name throughout the late 1990s.”
