On "Plenty Of Time With Nothing To Do", Tobias Freund expands on the concept introduced with Tobias. & Friends – TOP TEN, reshaping selected late-70s and 80s works by The Human League, This Heat, Japan, Suicide, Heaven 17, and Harold Budd & Brian Eno.
Rather than traditional covers, these are re-productions: stripped down, restructured and rebuilt at Non Standard Studios in Berlin. The album moves between minimal electronics, spacious rhythm constructions and subtle club undercurrents, focusing on reduction and atmosphere rather than nostalgia.
A diverse group of vocalists — including Pink Elln, Gudrun Gut, Barbie Williams, Argenis Brito, Atom™, and others — reinterprets the material with distinct presence, making each track feel intimate and newly situated.
Cut by Mike Grinser at Manmade Mastering and released on Non Standard Productions (NSP 25), the record continues Freund’s personal dialogue with electronic music history — restrained, precise and unmistakably his own.

『『Plenty Of Time With Nothing To Do』において、トビアス・フロイントは『Tobias. & Friends – TOP TEN』で提示したコンセプトをさらに発展させ、ザ・ヒューマン・リーグ、ディス・ヒート、ジャパン、スーサイド、ヘヴン17、ハロルド・バッド&ブライアン・イーノによる70年代後半から80年代の選りすぐりの作品を再構築している。 これらは単なるカバーではなく、ベルリンのNon Standard Studiosにて、要素を削ぎ落とし、再構築し、再構築された「再制作」作品である。このアルバムは、ミニマルなエレクトロニクス、広々としたリズム構成、そして繊細なクラブのアンダーカレントの間を行き来し、ノスタルジアよりも「削減」と「雰囲気」に焦点を当てている。 ピンク・エレン、グドルン・グート、バービー・ウィリアムズ、アルゲニス・ブリト、アトム™ら多彩なボーカリストたちが、独自の存在感で楽曲を再解釈し、各トラックに親密さと新たな位置づけを与えている。 Manmade Masteringにてマイク・グリンサーがマスタリングを手掛け、Non Standard Productions(NSP 25)よりリリースされた本作は、抑制され、精密で、紛れもなく彼自身のものと言える、電子音楽の歴史との個人的な対話をフロイントが紡ぎ続ける作品となっている。 (インフォメーションより)』 (サイトウ)
