here is a review by Jeremy from Ampersandetc.:

We first heard German/Australian Hinterlandt on a demo in 2002_17, and now
we have his first official release from a cd-r label based in Kobe. It is a
mini-album, only 26 minutes long, structured as a drama.
'Scene 1 ? a bit awkward (first encounter)' takes us from a big guitar
chord, some echoey synth winds and looped tuned percussion, lightly musical,
through crackles with a gong with a simple beat and a bubbling undercurrent
into a fuller forward rhythm loop and wild synth and keyboards that eases
and slides into randomish electronica before returning to the opening tones.
Awkwardness finely tuned. Voice loops - low, high and manipulated' open
'Scene 2 ? the embryo questions the old woman' with a typewriter rhythm
section, shifting into some twangs, bloopy music, twitters and rattling with
rapid taps then again regaining the voices.
More samples used effectively in 'Scene 3 ? our protagonist strolls the
market' where noisy shouting loops get shorter and shorter until they are
choppy music bouncing from side to side that segues into a bloopy melody
that transforms, returns to the sample and is again reworked. A bright
musical piece. A mechanical looping with voices in (one clearly saying
culture) in 'Scene 4 ? fairwell on the rain train' becomes a base for a
mellow horn solo that drives the track before a rumble end. And finally
'Scene 5 ? back home: drifting thoughts on the front veranda' is a more
ambient (drifting) based on chimes, swirling, buzzing, crackles, bird
twitter and noises that weave a varied spell.
A lot is happening across this, and it is very enjoyable and fascinating.
Would have loved to hear more!
