Tobias Freund, the Berlin based producer, musician, and label owner of Non Standard Productions has created an incredible cover record that pays tribute to some of the most iconic and influential artists of the past four decades. The album Tobias. & Friends' Top Ten places a unique spin on the original tracks, with its combination of electronic sounds and vocal performances from Javiera González, Barbie Williams, Cormac McAdam, Carlos Cabezas, and Stian Westerhus. Having already worked with Javiera González on the recent post punk album release The Mutual Torture's Don't (NSP 019LP, 2022), Tobias has once again used his talents to honor some of his favorite bands. Each track has been carefully re-produced at Non Standard Studios in Berlin, resulting in a perfectly balanced mix of old and new. Highlights from the record include "Used To" by Wire, "All We Ever Wanted" by Bauhaus, and "Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy" by DEVO. The tracks range from the upbeat, '80s-inspired "Pure Jam" by Yellow Magic Orchestra to the more somber "My Sex" by Ultravox. Tobias has given us a thoughtful, creative, and enjoyable record that is sure to please any fan of these bands. All in all, this is an exceptional release, a masterful blend of past and present, and a perfect tribute to some of the greatest musical acts of our time.
