The latest release from PEDER MANNERFELT's own label, PEDER MANNERFELT PRODUKTION, is SIMON HAYDO's debut album, made using nothing but an MS-20! Distorted yet groove-laden, with a clear PEDER influence. Essential listening especially for anyone who responded to the label's previous PEDER MANNERFELT release!

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)
