“Electronic music gives you freedom, the freedom to get rid of musical idioms” – Friedman’s decade-spanning career has been all about exercising this freedom, and no record demonstrates this as well as The Pestle. Though billed as an album, it’s really a compilation, presenting tracks made between 1993 and 2011 in reverse chronological order. It demonstrates that, while Friedman’s music has developed hugely in that time, his intentions have stayed much the same.
