Before he came to the place, where he stands now, Hannu had come up with a shipshape minimalist, elaborate aesthetics, searching with a fine-tooth comb a common denominator for experimental electronics and large acoustic backup. That kind of thing was his debut album, "Worms iny my Piano". In spite of fact that was issued by, utterly unfimiliar for me, very small, little meaningful Irish label, Osaka, I would not be startled at all if someone pondered otherwise, reckoning it like an another treasure which could be found by courtesy of Type Records or City Centre Offices, for example. Sombre, sounding, severe silhouette of "Lyhty" track persuades to this even stronger.

Unfortunately, it hasn't gone without a drawback, seriously captured one only though. This a main disadvantage of "Hintergarten" is noised-hissing sounds (white noise perhaps?!) which really hurts may cause a little headache too like it's in an unsettled "Pop". Regardless of this temporary aching hardship, it doesn't obscure that "Hintergarten" album offers a neat options, taking a delight in the lotions for a sensible ears. Hanny couldn't knock up more compact, full diversity notwithstanding, drop-deadly full-advised album. Paradoxically, repice appears simple - entreating by whole complex surroundings (people, nature) with regard to them, of course. Overall, whatever you listen, elusive, ballad rock, somnolent ambient, hypnotic downtempo / trip hop or dotty neoclassical forms, Hannu second album is waiting for you.

"A plethora soul-funk combinations you can come across here. Sultry and sweltering oomph, which is get-at-able in hearts and minds of sage Latino musicians, obviously born and bred, only. One-man band Quantic en masse his dear, legendary friends constructed this album in such a way that it doesn't jar on in any while."

"It's all what can be expected by Holland: the variegated, springy, exotic compositions highly relating to copious, uncharted music legacy from Brazil, Paru, Panama and Colombia. This tireless trend-setter of nameless faces of black music has done his next purpose in his own balanced, fetching style. Gilles Peterson will be spinning it during his popular programme, hopefully."

Great effort and live up previous longplay. Just fantastic versatile & very very classy craft. I'm really impressed. Some references to heritage of Carl Craig, Drexcya, Dopplereffekt, even Aphex Twin have covered into Marco's unique concoction. It isn't a true that 'real', 'oldscool' and 'soulful' techno is dead. In my humble opinion: Album Of 2008 Year. Favourite dancing track: "Ploughs And Clouds". If you don't like sounds of contemporary techno music you will listen it with pleasure and savour it.
