Radar "Nothing is Real" Album Review
Awesome Music discovered in Amsterdam at Concerto Discs
I bought this sight unseen at the recomendation of a clerk in Amsterdam's hippist cd (& LP !) shop. I'm a professional FM DJ and I can't wait to play this for people. It is full of surprises and all of them are goood. First heard them on Arabica and Arabica III. If you want to capture the essence of a green coffee house in Amsterdam just put this on and groove.

Hint "Portakabin Fever" Album Review
Risky but it works
And yes, I mean risky, not risque. I must be new to this type of music, which is why I feel it is risky. Whether or not you like each song that is heard on this album probably depends on whether or not you like the song after the first minute. Basically, each song stays the same after the first minute of hearing it. So you won't hear major developments when listening to songs that may last upwards of six minutes.
Fortunately, there is development throughout every song. That means that you'll hear some variety as you keep listening to each song. This is also good because if you like it after the first minute, you get another five minutes to only hear it get better. That positive point brings me to another somewhat bad point. The album is 54 minutes, which is decent length. But consider that this kind of music deserves a few more tracks. Does it make you feel desiring for more? Yes, but does the album feel complete? Definitely.
In fact, it may be that desire that makes Hint a risky band that's worth listening to. It's the style of music. Not only is it not normal for the generation, it's wihout words. It's the kind of music you might find in a video game. A video game sporting these kind of tempos and beats with polenty of variety in-between. But the fact that there are bands out there making this music makes this a very unique and special album. Yes, there are plenty other Ninja Tune artists doing this music, but Hint does it very well, and would likely serve you as a great introduction into this world of music, as it did for me.

Howie B "Anotherlatenight" Album Review
Wonderfull
It is a very special album in my collection. I would say it does fit better with my classical rock collection then it fits my electronica collection. I would call it a hippy type music album. Lots of instruments, nice and insightful and not annoying vocals, some very strange melodies :) If you appreciate high quality music you will really appreciate it. Try to listen to those song samples that a provided by the www.Amazon.com before you buy, if you like those you will like the album.
