Reviews & Discussion

Rated 5/5
Review by theauxphou Dec 16, 2003

referencing Freek Funk, CD, Album, Mixed, NoMu57CD

Arguably the best techno album ever. It is diverse, and boasts a range of styles: from ambient (Score One, Score Two), downtempo (Walking The Line) and hard (Filter 2), to breakbeat (Bless Bless), uplifting techno (Love) and experimental electro (Are You There?). Highly, highly recommended and needs to be in every electronica aficionado's collection. 5/5!

referencing Freek Funk, 2xLP + 12", L NoMu 57 LP

Although Luke Slater had always trafficked in high-precision techno with emotion (just like his Detroit idols), Freek Funk is his most precise and emotional yet, quite experimental, and with a range of sounds from abrasive techno to ambient soundtracks and string-laden house. One of the few British producers who seems to realize that interesting sounds aren't quite as important as investing the music with spirit, Slater came up with one of the best techno LPs of the year.
