Horst Schneider @ SYNTHPOP.DE:
Auto:Matic is the debut-album by the one-man band I SATELLITE (Rod MacQuarrie). I SATELLITE represents a throwback to 70s Kraftwerk and very early 80s New Wave music. Rod MacQuarrie uses simple fm-sounding synths and composes minimal, streamlined sound-structures which are supported by calm singing. For example, the songs "I Want You" and "Automat" really reminds the listener of early songs by "Human League" or "Heaven 17". With his selection of synthetics he successfully creates authentic wave-music and his compositions are in keeping with the original feel of the beginnings of SynthPoP. This album sounds old-fashioned and maybe comes 25 years too late, but I think that's exactly what I SATELLITE tried to obtain. It's a well-done homage to a time when electronic music was just starting to blossom - a little piece of SynthPoP nostalgia.
