REVIEW of "Happy birthday to me" EP
Textura - 01/08/05
"To a far greater degree than the norm, the songs on Murray Fisher's third
Mint EP Happy Birthday to Me bear titles that distill their sonic essence in
uncommonly astute manner. Though it begins with hazy organ triplets, "Life in
Widescreen" gradually gathers steam with staggered rhythms of insistent beats,
chiming keyboard melodies, and bright washes that collectively end up sounding
suitably panoramic. An unashamedly (though repetitive) pretty piano melody forms
the core of the lovely lullaby "For You" while "Hilltop" conjures stately atmospheres
of immense breadth. Bringing the EP to a dusky close, melancholy piano figures
imbue " Midnight " with a retiring nocturnal essence. Oddly enough, unlike
the song titles, the EP's celebratory title hardly matches the music's generally
restrained character."
REVIEW of "Happy birthday to
me" EP
Tesselate - 20/07/05
"Happy birthday to me slides another quality page into the c.v of Mint.
The release is full of atmopshere and plays like a history of something special
captured on a cd in audio form for us all to enjoy. Definetly one to check out.
Recommended!" |

REVIEW of "Happy birthday to me" EP
Untitledmusic - 19/06/05
"Mint returns on Boltfish with 'Life In Widescreen'. Right from
the start you'll be hypnotised by the tracks beauty and musical magic.
Gently rolling chords and layers of instrumentation build a rich
track, enabling you to dive into an ocean of interest and emotions. 'For
You' is fucking stunning. Chilling piano's keys step across of glacier
of audio mist with distant chords and drifting ambience swirl around
your soul. 'Hilltop' is eerie and expansive, it remind me of standing
on a mountaintop and panning around to take in the view whilst the
airbrushes against your chest and the world looks a miniature paradise. 'Midnight'
uses more stunning keys and drifting mellow vibes to build a cinematic
track that is just chilling to listen to."
