Album Review
Tintin
Reviewed 2003-04-05
ARABIC TECHNO POP

Poor quality mix of Arabic and Techno.
The ever-present synthetic kick (dum-dum-dum) makes this one really obnoxious.
The choice of arabic instruments and samples is cool at times, but the techno beat gets to you (or at least me) real fast... such a shame...

Tintin Love Meter: 4/10
Tintin recommends (if you can deal with non-stop dum-dum-dum): #8

01 - 04:24 - fast techno beat, addition of congas, arabic strings
02 - 05:23 - starts with a cool arabic drum beat, but techno beat is unfortunately introduced, synth, sounds like arabic pop
03 - 05:04 - live performance sounds, arabic string instrument, almost funky drum section at first, evolves into a poppish march
04 - 05:24 - arabic strings, fast hip-hop beat, addition of arabic drums
05 - 07:25 - arabic strings, funky guitar, cheesy melody (you might like it), pop, dum-dum-dum
06 - 06:25 - big-time dum-dum, clap and hi-hat, techno pop
07 - 07:31 - and a hip, and a hop, and hip-hip-hip and a hop, did i hear this one before? (i am lost...)
08 - 08:25 - heavy fast techno beat, string instruments, funky guitar breaks and ethnic drums, turns into a slow percussion beat at mid-song
