For the first time, Brandt Brauer Fricks seminal album Mr. Machine is being reissued on coloured vinyl.

Mr. Machine is a record that put them alongside names as Steve Reich and Philip Glass, but with considerably more groove. More than anything, Daniel, Jan and Paul are keen that the Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble are not written off as a curiosity.

Often people focus a lot on this whole “cross-over” aspect, says Brauer. We wish people would simply notice we have good chords, melodies etc. and take the music as it is. Because we make it the way we feel, and not for other, let’s say purely conceptual reasons. Some only seem interested in how its made. Some reviewers perceive us as minimal techno, some as modern classical, some as nu jazz and so on. But we dont divide the world into techno and nontechno.
