Mums Finally We Are No One
Múm’s Finally We Are No One (Fat Cat label, released in July 27, 2000) The term Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) is as banal as it is a misnomer. ... Listening to albums like Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works II or this new one in my CD player, it is hard to imagine why critics like to use the term ‘Dance Music’ to describe such music. ... So instead of filing Múm’s Finally We Are No One under IDM, I would rather enjoy it as it is and reject the conveniences of any sort of categorisation. ... As for the two guys, one was in a guitar-based band prior to the birth of Múm and the other wanted to write a computer game. ... Names of possible influences just pop out of your head while listening to this record, yet Múm may also sound like no one else in particular. ... The next track ‘Don’t Be Afraid, You Have Just Gotten Your Eyes Closed’ is downright fun; reminiscent of the ambience of Mouse On Mars, yet one can tell from the instrumentation that this is Múm in its strictest element.
