Album Notes: Arovane's perfected blend of crunchy beatcraft and slightly bruised music-box melodies brought young producer Uwe Zahn instant acclaim. ATOL SCRAP follows several excellent vinyl EPs released via the usual Berlin underground channels, marking Zahn's full-length debut, and his first digital document. The appealing Arovane formula can be summed up as state-of-the-art electronica reacquainted with its sensitive side.
Album Reviews: The Wire (4/00, p.46) - "...Features the solemn, hopeful synth swell/falls and micro-insectoid, sratch'n'skid syncussion....showcasing an exquisite ear for melody, which gives [the] music the joy of a toy..."
Advantages: one good song! Disadvantages: too many bad songs
...Well, who should buy this album? that really is a good question!!!! My answer, people that like Tom Jones, everyone else please stay well clear!
Some of the songs are quite good, don't get me wrong, but the album is dreadful!
Sexbomb has to be the worst song of the year, decade and millenium - irrelevant of when you think its really starts.
Sorry Tom, but you are now scrapping the barrel and releasing rubbish. And in doing so you are clutching on to the tail coats of young performers:- possibly because all your fans are too old to get to record stores!
don't buy and trun off your radio wehn sex bomb comes on! and finally waht are the phonics doing? a half decent song ruined by TJ!...

...When (Billie) Piper made her come back earlier this year with 'Day and Night' i thought it's a good song maybe this time she'll be BIG , but however after hearing her follow up something deep Inside , i feel that Billie is on the way DOWN, the single is Rubbish , i wouldn't even touch this song if they were giving it to me free! and as for BILLIE herself , when ever she does a Radio/Tv Interview she seem like she donsn't have a clue what she's talking about!, I think Billie should just scrap her new album and go work at McDonalds! DON'T BUY THIS SINGLE! you have been warned...

Best HFC CD to date Review ofDarkest Pinnacle Of Light, The - Honey For Christby
borninblood
Advantages: Excellent Heavy Metal Disadvantages: A little short
...would say that track 4 - "Sorrow Descending" is maybe dragged on a bit too much, but that is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel for something negative to say.
I think Honey For Christ summed themselves up better than I ever could - "100% raw, unclean, uncut heavy fucking metal!!!"...
