Platform is Matt Atkins and this is his self- and/or untitled full-length album. As many electronic musicians before him, he’s decided to take matters into his own hands. The proactive scheme resulted in a recording label called: Minimal Resource Manipulation and this is their first release. The label name itself has it origin from an early release made on Douglas Benford’s Suburbs of Hell in 1995. At the time he was using the MRM alias descriptive of his work. It does not take long to realise that Matt Atkins in his Platform guise is onto something big. Nine tracks of electronic delight and it have to be said that they’re all exceedingly well produced, and together they stretch over big parts the vast electronic music spectrum. Simply put it’s excellent, minimal, glitch infused high treble sounds through and through. The album comes recommended and future of MRM will be interesting to follow. Finally I would like to congratulate MRM on the first release and wishing continued success with the label.
