As co-boss of Boltfish along with Cheju, Mint has been responsible for putting
out an awful lot of good electronica in the past. So I'm pleased to be able to
bring you this cracking release from the man himself. Cardboard Rocketships
wears its heart on its sleeve from the very beginning. Mint has a way with
chunky, catchy melodic elements and as he combines them with a selection of
crunched out, classically electronic rhythms you end up with a surprisingly
upbeat tone from time to time. It's balanced, of course, by a gentler, more
downbeat feel where the chords and basslines really shine through. Robust, yet
gentle, refined, yet groovy.... this album covers all of these territories with
style and grace. And, lest I forget to mention, it also comes with the rather
superb Mint remix of Ulrich Schnauss's 'Shine'. Quality stuff indeed!
