More Info

Das erste Album von TIM HECKER, in dem er den Grundstein legte für seinen inzwischen so schwindelig machenden und sehr typischen Drone-Sound. Auf HAUNT ME überwiegen sanfte & harmonische Digi-Drone-Sphären, aber es gibt auch abgründigere, geräuschaftere Sequenzen gibt es zu hören die zeigen, dass HECKER nicht einfach nur einlullen, sondern auch konfrontieren will. Insgesamt etwas weniger "füllig" und erdig als auf seinen späteren Meisterwerken, aber hörenswert auf jeden Fall!

"Tim Hecker is not be confused with Mego's Florian Hecker, but is rather the alter ego of techno maverick Jetone. As Jetone he has released a full length for Pitch cadet as well as the album Ultamarin for Force Tracks. There are certainly similarities to the likes of Angelo Badalamenti, Fennesz, Gas and Oval, but overall the sound is incredibly unique. Tim Hecker has managed to create some of the most memorable ambient music in the last few years. Much like the Austrian guitar/lap top experimentalist Fennesz, Hecker has perfected the art of catchy experimental ambient music. The recording is comprised of 17 tracks that blend seamlessly into one another, making it perfect for headphone listening or as background music. At times glitch-based minimalism, but also capturing the drama of post rock. Incredibly sad, yet hopeful music that sticks in your head for hours." [press release]
