Synopsis

Album Description

2002 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.

CD Reviews

Let it grow

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As exhibitied by others, it seems difficult to review this album without a comparison to Cold Water Music, so here goes. Cold Water Music hits you more immediately. Each track is distinct and harder. Hinterland is a more cohesive, mellow whole. And, in my opinion, more blunted. The one clear advantage CWM has over this release are the MC tracks. I love Diamond D, but his east-coast flow is NOTHING in comparison to the hell raised by AG on CWM. Anyway, if you like Aim's general approach, this album will grow on you. Cop it."

"AIM" are one of my all time favourite acts......here's why:

"Producer "Andy Turner" followed up the wide acclaimed "Cold Water Music" debut with 2002's "Hinterland"....sticking Closely to the formula that won him so much critical acclaim, he creates another batch of songs, that work just as tremendously well as they did on "Cold Water Music" (possibly tracks that couldn't have fitted onto the first album). Maybe it's the reintroduction of mainstay "Kate Roger's" phenomenal vocal abilities, maybe it's the tighter production, or even the selection of underground rappers lending vocals to several tracks, or even possibly the unarguable magnificence of melodies & beat construction on display, but I personally give this album the very, very, very slimmest of margins, the nod over it's predecessor (although I'm in the minority), but either way!!!...this undoubtedly proves that "Aim" is a Trip-Hop act of par Excellence."
