Paul Blackford - MSR 036

Review by Markus Thies

Paul Blackford's album MSR 036 is a masterful blend of classic and contemporary electro beats. From start to finish, the album is a journey through the genre's history, with nods to the pioneers of electro, such as Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambaataa, as well as more recent innovators like Drexciya and Dopplereffekt. Blackford's use of vintage synthesizers and drum machines gives the album an authentic sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The tracks are expertly crafted, with intricate rhythms and catchy melodies that will keep listeners grooving from beginning to end. Standout tracks include "Funk That," with its funky bassline and infectious vocal samples, and "Bass Mission," with its driving beats and sci-fi inspired soundscapes. MSR 036 is a must-have for any fan of electro music, and a testament to Paul Blackford's skill as a producer.
