4.0 out of 5 stars Not your father's Haujobb, April 20, 2000

If you were expecting another "Solutions", this isn't it.

If you wanted a replay of "Freeze Frame Reality" or "Homes And Gardens", this isn't it.

If you're looking for aggressive EBM, this isn't it either.

But if you want some truly beautiful minimal electronic music, this is a great palce to start.

Processed washes of sound, sparse rhythms, heavily modulated vocals and just general ambiences dominate this album. Songs and sounds float in and out of the stereo field. It's beautiful headphone chill-out music.

It's not especially catchy, though. Its sparseness makes for some wonderful sound and brilliant production, but the tracks do often lack hooks or melodic structures. Not ncessarily a bad thing, but if you were looking for something as catchy as "Journey Ahead", you're going to be surprised.

Speaking of surprises, the additional of female vocalist Vanessa Briggs adds an even more ethereal touch to the album, and highlights some of the most memorable tracks.

Cold, Spacy, brilliant. Just don't try to dance to it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first glimpse of 21st century music, November 22, 1999

Daniel and Dejan have done it again... they have managed to craft together a cold vision of the future and blend it with a particularly human touch. haujobb still creates that stark, tense atmosphere that make you just beg for more like all of their older releases. The only difference is that haujobb have taken ANOTHER new direction with situationally placed sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Minimalist ambient., December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ninetynine (Audio CD)

This album shows, probably more dramatically than any other I've heard, that the spaces _between_ sounds can be as important as the sounds themselves. If "Solutions For A Small Planet" contained a humming futuristic cityscape inside its sounds, then the sounds of Ninetynine define an entire, barren, coldly beautiful universe. As with most ambient, either it clicks for you or it doesn't, and this definitely works for me.
