Tobias Freund has been involved in the music-making process for longer than most contemporary producers, so it’s fitting that this long-awaited artist album acts as a history lesson of sorts. It is true that in the headlong rush to be new or innovative, that a real understanding of electronic music’s past is often sacrificed. Equally, whenever a groundswell of artists focus on or take inspiration on a specific sound, such as Chicago house or 90s techno, it is often the case that their vision is too narrow, their gaze too blinkered. Freund’s great strengths here are both his ability to relive the magic of some of the dustier archives and to look far, wide and long.
