Berndt Friedmann, who has, in the past taken part in post-rave ambient-dub combo Drome’s adventures, has also perpetrated some musical crimes under the Nonplace Urban Field, Flanger and Some More Crime banners. Burnt Friedman is yet another guise used to injects disturbed rhythms and twisted songs in the listeners’ subconscious. Burnt Firendman Plays Love Songs is everything but a sugarcoated album. In fact, Plays Love Songs is at times highly disturbing. Fucking Long Time, which opens the album, is a rather straightforward track, oozing jazz and electronic. However, the voice at the beginning of It Hurts! presages of things to come. The song features the twisted tale of a slightly simple seventeen-year-old young man, telling of how if girlfriend doesn’t let him touch her breasts, and how he was pushed from a roof and broke his arm. The background music is as disturbed as the speech, perfectly underlining the ridicule of the story. After a couple of catchy, refreshing tunes, Friedmann inflicts another blow, with the uncomfortable Tongs Of Love, backed by a guitar and a few environmental noises. Very reminiscent of Chris Morris’s Blue Jam, the main element of the track is the male voice telling of a deeply sensual experience. Sex Is Not Right, conveyed by a rather heavily funked-up soundtrack, delves into the realms of attraction between sexes. Twisted sex is the main subject of this album, and Sex Working Class and Buttman, which closes the album, are equally as unsettling as the rest. But it would be easy to only retain this aspect of the album and totally obliterate the fact that the compositions are genuinely very good, as Friedmann crams jazz, dub, rock and electronic into 45 minutes of perversity. This album doesn’t sound like anything else around, and it is down to the man’s talent to use good samples and intriguing collaborations. The love songs played by Mr. Friedmann are unconventional indeed, and the collection he puts together here is in turn charming or discomforting. His compositions are unmistakably personal, and deserve to make their way to your record collection.



A project, or rather, a labour of love spanning the last four years, the Love Songs EP is a teaser for the whole album shebang due out early 2001. Featuring vocalists and dialogue, the Love Songs EP is described by Mr Friedmann as "post-electronic pop and rock". In other words, into your aural realm will gently creep soulful techno, organic dub stylings, electronic melodies and disembodied beats, created with the kind of TLC and unique sonic prowess that will surely have you begging for more. It has exclusive tracks and is a prelude to the full length album CD, Plays Love Songs, due in January 2001 featuring guitarist Josef Suchy (Cologne); Black Sifichi (Paris); Marcus Jaan (Sweden). Stay tuned! Flanger, Friedman's collaboration with Atom Heart, release their second album on Ninja Tune (entitled Midnight Sound) released on October 15th. Recorded in Atom Heart's adopted home city, Santiago de Chile, it's on a jazzy tip and very lush. No9 is on press duty for this one, too.
