Too many cooks spoil the broth? Definetly not if three masters of LNZ..s Minimal style Cuisine prepare their very special synthie molecular meals. Tabled piping hot from a secret kitchen located somewhere in the concrete heart of Frankfurt/Main, FRESH FRIED finally come up with their debut album THE MENUE. The young project consisting of the producers Chris Wood, Nedzad Berovic and Frank Leicher already took the DJ playlists of named Tech House DJs by storm – not only in Germany and Central Europe-wide, but also in the States, Russia and even Japan. Certainly it would have been easy to put all tracks of the recent 12-inches 50 WAYS and MADNESS on album to guarantee a second success for LNZ. But FRESH FRIED would not call themselves FRESH FRIED if everything wouldn’t be totally new.
Already the opening meal of the eight-course-menu called INSTANT SOUP is a good example for what the head chef team is able to put on our plates: A scalding hot groove enjoyment in 808-creamy consistency with crisp Vocal sample croutons blowing the lid off the pot. And as you can tell from the note “Album Version†this hypnotic highlight is also available as a 12 inch vinyl version including superb deep remix from Matt Star (Mainrecords, Weavemusic) on the flip.
As second meal the German guys serve very sensational nutritious Microhouse food with HEART OF PALM; a track that professionally peels the core of the minimal music and touches the clubber to the quick due to the freak funky finesse.
Followed by a Sushi role filled with sticky synthetic rice and named MAKI that gets its spicy flavour from a FRESH FRIED home-made Flanger-wasabi.
Next is a unique aromatic mellow Lounge pastry titled FOIE GRAS, and when you come up to track five, don’t expect to spit, because unlike other debut albums THE MENUE has a some more delectabilities to dish up. Why not knibbling off the Electro hot sawtooth creaky FROG LEGS with female vocals à la Parisienne? Or trying BURNT ORANGE which is a pure, to the bitter-sweet fruit essence reduced Tech House experience?
And before THE MENUE finishes with the mysterious, reverb dubby downwards running kickshaw LIQUID CHOCOLATE, the producer team presents a giant pen of CHILI with round dancing colourful bongo beans to fill our muscles with percussive proteins.
So Wood, Berovic & Leicher really made it and present a debut album that turns on, deeply satisfies but never stuffs.
