  Cex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Cex album, Cells, was a compilation of tracks Kidwell had been working on for several years, and was released in 1998 by his own CD-R label, Underscore, while he was still at Dulaney High School in Timonium, Maryland.
All of the Cex releases up to this time were classified as IDM (Intelligent dance music) and had very little vocals or lyrics for the most part.
Shortly thereafter, he married Roby Newton (from the band Milemarker), and reorganized Cex as a three-piece: Kidwell, Newton, and Cale Parks (from the bands Joan of Arc and Aloha).

Imagine the drug-like effect CEX has on muscle growth when the cells are force fed GRAM amounts of creatine and other anabolic compounds because of AKG's unique ability to pull these substances across the cell membrane.
With CEX you have greater nitrogen retention and infinitely greater creatine retention than could be produced by anabolic steroids and you don't have the endocrine and cardiovascular related side effects potentially caused by these substances.
CEX is the new protocol for muscle engorged Nitrogen and Creatine-induced muscle growth.

 * Dusted Reviews - Cex *
Cex’s live shows, however, featured a rapping Cex as their focal point, and were based around brand new beats and tunes.
Cex’s transition from instrumentalist to vocalist is a somewhat awkward one, since the focus shifts away from his excellent beats ‘n tones to his somewhat weak voice.
However, Cex is clearly a laptop whiz, and his tones are beginning develop a unique and recognizable quality, an excellent sign given the decreasingly derivative sound of his albums.

Baltimore, MD Having no qualms about vocalizing his desire to be a Rolex-wearing pop and rap star, Cex's music actually lies in the lines of electronic, intelligent dance music.
His pop culture goofiness is seen with such songs titles as "Academy Award (Cex's Radio Edit)" and "Wallstreet Kid." He has also been included on compilations such as Ricci's Pieces (on Mindfield) and Kid606 + Friends, Vol.
Cex only continued baffling expectations by following a 2001 electronic-pop LP (Oops, I Did It Again!) with a record named Tall, Dark & Handcuffed, indebted to the golden age of hip-hop.

 indieville: review: cex - starship galactica
This Cex disc is a reissue of Ryjan Kidwell's 2001 sophomore album, a hard-to-find CD that came out on the 555 Recordings imprint.
Considering this, they're pretty impressive: "Friends Fall Down" is a piece of dark, videogame influenced electro that lays a bunch of vocal samples onto a dense techno backbone, "Monster-Face Pills" is a rapid (though bland) slab of typical electronica, and "Bunky" is a messy albeit entertaining gob of deranged IDM.
Cex is one of the scene's modern leaders, and Starship Galactica stands to be seen as one of the genre's more important records a few years from now.

 U-WIRE.com/INTERVIEW: 'Intelligent' electronic artist Cex gets it on   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
While Cex's first two albums, "Role Model" and "Oops, I Did It Again!" have been filled with IDM (intelligent dance music) soundscapes, complex beats and sonic trickery, Cex (whose actual name is Rjyan Kidwell) has followed a very different path in his live shows.
Cex's first two widely released albums (besides his actual debut, "Cells," which was limited to 220 copies) have been lumped in with the IDM/glitch genre because many tracks like "Theme Song To Cex," "A Mansion As The Body She Resides In" and "It's All About Guilt" feature haunting melodies over layers of distinctive beats.
Cex is one of the only artists right now making thoughtful yet unpredictable studio albums, while still putting it all on the line in live performances.

 Cex - Maryland Mansions - Review - Stylus Magazine
Cex sounds at home spitting his old-skool rhymes over this backing, and when he gets to the gross-out chorus (“Food is disgusting/ it’s what they make shit from/ you’re vomiting backwards”) you can practically see his manic grin and the glint of his gold tooth.
Cex’s recent experiments with folksy, emotional hip-hop songs is one of his most promising directions, and these two tracks perfectly represent this relatively new side of the singer’s personality.
Maryland Mansions is completely all over the place, ranging over the entirety of Cex’s current capabilities in the course of just eight tracks, and pointing the way towards some future synthesis that could finally provide the rapper with his first genuine masterpiece.

But Cex, aka Rjyan Kidwell, pulls out more puns this time around on his new eight-song EP/album/whatever it is, Maryland Mansions.
Cex's last few efforts were laptop hip-hop albums, more glitch than G-Unit, but still fresh enough to be considered an entertaining alternative to the wack ass shout-out-track-and-skit-flooded mainstream output.
All puns aside, Cex has proven his worth as a performer, and is ready to be taken seriously.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Cex: Maryland Mansions
Carrying an unlit torch and sporting smeared raccoon eyes, Cex has returned to the land of the living, and this time he's discarded the rap game in order to immerse himself neck-deep in Wax Trax-style industrial wreckage.
Rjyan Kidwell's first outing for new label Jade Tree is also significant for being the first Cex album that fully deviates from the splatter-IDM template upon which his career has thus far hinged.
The IDM ghetto is no place for a man as engagingly charismatic as Cex, and if he hasn't quite reached superstar status just yet, he's well on his way.

 Cex: Maryland Mansions - PopMatters Music Review
In August of 2000, at the tender young age of 18, the artist known as Cex released Role Model, a classic example of the twitchy, crunchy style of electronic music known as IDM.
The Cex motto is "Half man, half human." He sings about postmodern social theorists.
The songs are interesting lyrically and musically, especially as Cex channels distorted guitars through his laptop on "Drive off a Mountain" and "New Maps".

Shortly before his 18th birthday Baltimore, MD native Rjyan Kidwell (aka Cex) discovered a path carved by IDM luminaries such as Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Autechre.
Now, four years and as many albums later, Cex sheds his former skin to show the world the grown man that had been buried beneath his own expectations.
As unlikely as it seems to mix hip-hop party jams, warm IDM glitch and shades of innocent folk, he has unearthed a lost treasure; a heretofore undiscovered gold mine of brilliant beats, charming stories and witty rhymes.
