Founded 5 years ago, the German structure will have really soon 50 releases out! "Wow" don't you think? Well, there is an explanation: Thinner is not a label like many others since it's only distributing its releases via the internet as MP3 files (192 kbps) - for free!! But don't think the tracks' quality is not as good as what we can find elsewhere on vinyl or CD. As a proof, this LP delivered by Marko Fürstenberg, an artist who previously appeared on about 10 Thinner productions with other pseudos like Dolby & Surphase. It's easy to see that the German producer was strongly influenced by Maurizio, Basic Channel ou Chain Reaction. The 9 tunes of this LP are evolving in a dub techno way, often minimal or hypnotising and sometimes electronica / ambient. There's nothing innovating here but we'll never be fed up with this particular style and especially in this case where both sounds and production are simply perfect. Marko Fürstenberg's tracks are as great as many other specialists of this musical genre and they should be printed on 12"! Before the release date planned on 15/12/2003 on Thinner web site, you can already download tons of available MP3s (like for example the ones by Mateo Murphy, Eloi Brunelle, Dick Richards or also Christian Bloch to name the most famous producers on thinnerism.com) !
