Murcof, Martes [Leaf – BAY23V, 2002]

murcof_martesA very impressive album debut by Murcof released in May 2002 on the Leaf label, it’s a double pack 12″ and it contains 10 personal and equally beautiful tracks. Most noteworthy is naturally the use of elements such as various string and other musical instruments usually associated with classic music and not forgetting the live feeling setting of bass and drums. But, it is the combination with pure electronics and done with a high degree of precision. All elements chosen have been done so with a lot of attention to the detail and the function of the particular sonic element in question. Very mature production to say the least and a simply excellent end result. Murcof’s debut album “Martes” comes highly recommended.
