Review
One thing's for sure: Hinterland is unlike any hip-hop album you've heard before. Aim man Andy Turner recorded this follow-up to his excellent debut album, Cold Water Music, in a private studio on the sleepy Barrow-In-Furness seafront, a hundred miles from the bustling hip-hop underground of Manchester, where he made his name. Rolling elements of vintage soul and Burt Bacharach-style songwriting into its grand design, Hinterland pulls out wild cards aplenty. "The Girl Who Fell Through the Ice" finds Turner looping a flourish of violins over frosty synths, as longtime Aim collaborator Kate Rogers wraps her tonsils around a chilled tale of doomed love. The upbeat "No Restriction" revives A Tribe Called Quest's flower-power past, with guesting rap crew Souls of Mischief offering clever, mischievous rhymes. Meanwhile, "Good Disease" strays right off the hip-hop map: a slick four minutes of R&B-tinted lounge music, it features an unexpected highlight in the form of a falsetto-high cameo from ex-Baby Bird man Stephen Jones. It's not for those that like their hip-hop raw, but Hinterland adds a very welcome bit of subversion to the traditional rap terrain. --Louis Pattison2002 release that beautifully reflects Grand Central's commitment to funky, un-abrasive Hip Hop. Like a soundtrack Hinterland unfolds, changes its pace, and evokes a specific locality for its audience. Dark beats, hypnotic strings, soundtrack samples, and deep bass merge into a cohesive producers statement. On 'The Girl That Fell Through The Ice' Kate Rogers sings enigmatically over orchestrated strings. Diamond D displays his storytelling skills as he narrates Aim's haunting production on the 'Omen'. While Oakland's Souls Of Mischief turn in a classic appearance on 'No Restrictions' flipping tempos and rhyming with superb skill and fluidity. Hinterland is a progressive and contemplative album, tinged with remarkable soulful grooves, trip hop ballads, and emotive melodies.
