***In Meorm NA is the debut CD, and second album proper, of Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada's Vote Robot. An electronic/analog music duo comprised of Scott August (aka French Paddleboat) and Kevin Rivard, Vote Robot stand quite defiantly far apart from the endless crop of current electro experimenters in that they work exclusively with tapes, turntables, mixers, and analog synths; creating a subtle, and engulfing flow that is uneasing and pleasing both. No laptops, no sequencers, no Pro-Tools, no drum machines, nothing high tech, or barely even a product of the 1990's present here; yet the music of Vote Robot manages to stand alongside the latest batch of technicians found in the Wire. - French Paddleboat is the left field, real beats-and-chimes-catchy project of younger Robot Scott August, who comprises half of Vote Robot.
- Vote Robot played the Transmissions 003 festival in North Carolina in 2000. A Vote Robot remix LP, Versions, sold out completely and was recently spotted going for $60.00 US on eBay.
- People who live for Thrill Jockey/Mille Plateaux-label stuff like Oval and other click/glitch gleaners will find salvation here
