Editorial Reviews

Seventeen tracks that blend seamlessly into one another, making them perfect for headphone listening or as background music. At times glitch-based minimalism, but also captures the drama of post rock. An ambient noise classic.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent
    Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2004
    Much to the chagrin of the reviewer below me, I'm going to refer to Tim Hecker's ambient leanings (he has several house albums out under the name "Jetone") as "ambient glitch." Though I feel genre classifications are typically restrictive and under-descriptive (or even misleading in their descriptions), Haunt Me, Haunt Me, Do It clearly and successfully fuses droning melody and cathedral-like ambience with elements of electronic glitch, creating a hybrid quite unlike either ambient or glitch.

    Tim Hecker soothes the listener through choice, dark tonal pallettes, but jars him or her through seemingly random interjections of electronic interferece -- Certain passages lend themselves more to one or the other. The result is heightened tension through the latter, but a more welcoming sense of harmony through contrast in the former. That Tim Hecker is a graduate student in psychoacoustics is very apparent, and lends itself to his unique style of ambient. Highly recommended.

    Be sure to check out Radio Amor, a much brighter offering, as well as his new record, Mirages, which presents much more white noise in place of droning than his other discs.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Conceptual Album
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2010
    Tim Hecker's "Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again" is a series of ambient tunes that offers nine separate `tales' if you will, that seem to tie in themetically all with a cold spine. An example for instance would be the two part "Artic Lover's Rock" a chilling crackling glistening pair of songs. The ashy taunting three part "City in Flames" is a highlight amongst the concepts featured. It squeezes out sharp sounds in tensening distortion, really artsy move.

    Some sets seem to drag on though, the wastelands of "Borderlines" leaves much to be yearned for. Some sets are deceiving leangth wise, the three part distant bells of "Boreal Kiss" really isn't that long. Part two of the song is rather short at about thirty three seconds long. If one were to read the tracklisting they might be overwhelmed by the twenty tracks (Amazon lists seventeen, my playlist consists of twenty). In reality, less then an hour passes from start to finish.

    Tracks aren't thick, briddle electronic layers encompass this album. It's an impressive journy, I wouldn't say outstanding. I feel this has a lot of potential replay value wise, as you may find yourself sifting between sets for a more appreciative listen. Though to me, some of them start of grand and lose trajectory fast. Others feel like duds or filler, a quick remedy would be to make a playlist and remove some of the shorter parts to make for a tighter album. It'd be no different than taking a hio-hop album and straining it of the `skits'. The essential core is definetly brooding with genious ideas, unfortunetly by the time it surfaces its as though it has already cooled off. Tim Hecker though is a lucky man, with the detailed songs coming in all shapes and sizes, variety can't be overlooked. So there might be a set for nearly anybody who's into ambient/electronic mixes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Eminently Listenable
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2005
    Many potential buyers of this album might be familiar with contemporary composition. Those in that category should purchase immediately without reserve. For the many more who might be hesitant but curious, you should give this a listen. Like the Brockett Hudson, Hecker captures the feeling of 21st century life through stripped down but powerful instrumentation thoughtfully drawn from a strong minimalist framework. It may sound bizarre, but it is somehow beautiful. As a convert from the latter category, I can say with confidence that you will not be disappointed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars brooding, slightly menacing and still very relaxing
    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2008
    The background wall of sound here, pulsing and a bit fuzzy, sets the tone for intermittent beeps, piano tinkles and guitar samples. I love the feeling of rising and falling, of being lofted along wherever Tim Hecker wants to take me.

    so much of this so called & mis-categorised "glitch" (& i shudder as i write the word..) music is simply not very good at all..but this is wonderful..emotive, late night electronics to soften the hardest heart ..think Fennesz at his deepest & saddest, some of Jim O'Rourke's stuff..the perfect understated melody of Night Flight to Your Heart is worth the price of admission alone.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Understated and Exciting!!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2010
    Tim Hecker is building bridges with this album. He borrows from minimalism, new age, and electronic glitch to sculpt a lovely atmospheric experience that remains sentimental (but not syrupy) while lightly dragging around the scraps of sound that are associated with "glitch" music. Glitch is characterized by the traditionally unwanted or undesirable artifacts that can occur when making electronic music. Embracing these media errors in the context of music is sometimes magical. The roster of musicians who use these types of sound is getting longer everyday and much of what is being produced in the genre is proving to be unremarkable.

    Hecker can't easily be placed into a genre except perhaps "electronic." That's a large and unspecific classification today but it is perhaps best not to try being too specific when describing his work. This album is conspicuously free of beats and rhythms. His sounds are lofty and changes are sparse. We aren't left on the ground level listening to this album, he takes us to the top floor and shows us the view from above. It's somber at the top. This music is sincere even though it's quiet and full of secrets. I recommend buying it, there aren't many artists like him. He's skilled and somewhat visionary. It will add color and texture to many of your quiet nights.
