Like with all Matmos projects the ideas sound cooler than they actually are. If you have never heard of the electronic production trio, their gimmick is they tie one hand behind their back with every release. The hindrance they put on themselves with this new album is they use only samples from a research-based recording studio whose research was on recording all-natural samples. From animals and insects to human bodily sounds. ?Return to Archive? has a focused idea in which the groups focus on rhythmic techno-inspired progressions with these very abstract samples. However, I wish the group would have gone for a more ambient or sound college idea than trying to create these abstract rhythms and grooves from the samples. I just have a hard time sitting through this without being bored. Every track kind of feels the same as the last. The only difference is on the 13-minute title track in which they do exactly that. A more sound collage and ambient that progressed nicely from one sample to the next.
