"Classic albums" may be an overused term, but it is entirely warranted for Matthew Herbert's 1998 groundbreaking house music album "Around The House," now reissued on vinyl via his own Accidental label. This innovative release redefined dance music production through its pioneering use of everyday sounds, setting a new benchmark for electronic music. The album remains as fresh and crisp today as it was when it first emerged on late 90s dance floors, showcasing Herbert's experimental approach that would later formalize into his renowned Personal Contract for the Composition of Music (PCCOM). Featuring distinctive contributions from vocalist Dani Siciliano and pianist Phil Parnell, the record blends electronic textures with found sounds including kitchen utensils, domestic appliances, human blood flow, bones, teeth, and audio from laser eye surgery.
