Recorded in 1995 and released in early 1996, 'Vero Electronics' is the seminal debut album of Add N to X featuring original members Barry Smith, Ann Shenton and Andrew Aveling. This line up signed to Blow Up as Add N to X in 1995, the name later gaining brackets - Add N to (X) - when they signed to Satellite and then Mute in 1998. Here's how they were originally described at the time of release of Vero Electronics: "The creators (Barry, Andrew and Ann) of this new sound descended from the avant-pop of the sixties moog boom through Suicide, and Kraftwerk with a brief stop off at the Radiophonic Workshop.Not finding a sound they liked being made now they decided to form ADD N TO X, an all electronic band with an ever-changing style of electronica." Add N to X described themselves as Moog situationists, pioneers of avant-garde electronica: "this album hopes to resurrect a long lost genre in electronic music by mixing the classic cinematic sound with a live drummer, seventies drum machines and looped synths descending into the inferno of the avant-garde." Vero Electronics is a must for collectors of the band, showing them in their full uncompromising glory, and serves as a great introduction to the band’s early sound.
