Biography

The influence of the three albums Max Tundra recorded for Domino cannot be overstated. Without precedent at the time, they echo throughout much contemporary electronic pop music. The first of the trilogy, Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be, is more or less the most experimental; the second, Mastered By Guy At The Exchange, perhaps the most joyful; and the third, Parallax Error Beheads You, the most riotous - all remain essential.
