The previous PEDER MANNERFELT release on PEDER MANNERFELT PRODUKTION was superb, and this one's a killer too! You can feel label boss PEDER's influence here — an off-kilter, distorted album that fits the label's aesthetic perfectly while hitting all the right spots. The concept was to build everything — kicks, hats, melodies, the lot — using only a KORG MS-20, yet the breadth of sonic variation and the sheer ideas on show are astonishing. Anyone who has actually used an MS-20 will be amazed. Plenty of concept records end up dull, but this one is genuinely cool musically — a prime example of how imposing limitations can yield great results. (Original Japanese text by Hino)
