MFP: MFP (Non Standard Productions) - CD originally released November 2006

Blending enclosed space field recordings with pure synthesis, MFP aka Berliner Tobias Freund has fashioned an incredibly engaging work of experimental techno. It's the friction between the grainy acoustics of real life sounds against the clinical sheen of abstract electronics that provides the sonic pleasure. Exploration of tone and texture at both ends of the frequency spectrum might prove to be a bit dry for some, but I found it endlessly intriguing.

And whilst we're at it, everything that Non Standard Productions (the label Tobias runs with Max Loderbauer) have released has been worthy of merit / attention. From the outer-space isolation of nsi. to the reductive drum machine excursions of Odd Machine - a project collaborative with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and Atom Heart.
