Ninetynine is a classic in the minimal electronica world. While the rest of Haujobb's catelog is bouncy EBM/industrial, Ninetynine is a quiet, relaxing album. The 9 tracks consist of either instrumentals, female voice lyrics or male voice lyrics. They get mixed up and create a solid hour of music. The drum beat in Doubleyou is one of the most memorable sounds i've ever heard in a CD. If you're a fan of quiet electronic music, this may be worth checking out.

A very interesting release. First off, let me start by mentioning that i'm not exactly a Haujobb fan. I've heard the other albums, and this one is by far different. To me, all of Haujobb's work is pretty boring EBM with annoying lyrics. Infact, Daniel Myer's other projects don't really interest me either. But Ninetynine.. is the exception. This album is truly a classic. 9 tracks that consist of minimal beats and sounds. Everything is cool, calm and quiet. Some tracks have Daniel speaking a few words, and some have a guest female vocalist, Vanessa Briggs, singing. This is Daniel's masterpiece in my view. If he ever releases something like this again, i'll definitely be getting it.

When I first got this CD I hated it with a passion. Of course after hearing such a great work as Solutions For A Small Planet, I of course expected more of the same hypnotic drum n bass-ey EBM. I also hadnt truly opened my mind to other styles of electronic music at that point. It has been literally years since I have heard this album and upon hearing it again for the first time since it came out, I have a newfound appreciation for it. Admittedly, Daniel Meyer should have released this under a different moniker than Haujobb, but nonetheless this is actually an excellent release. Very fluid and relaxing, yet will make you twitch and move your shoulders e'er so slightly. I must say that the only downfall to this release is the addition of the female vocals-they only serve to water the music down in my humble opinion. Overall a wonderful little gem, just stick to the non-Vanessa Briggs tracks and you'll do just fine.
