 | RA Review A writer friend described Dinky's Anemik as "folk techno," and I winced. There's a tendency among reviewers to lumber anything vaguely home-crafted or "ethnic" with this hokey term, but after listening to Anemik more, I now have to concede that he was correct.

New user Posts / 2 RA Since / Nov 2009 | #2 / Mon, 02 Nov 09 16:20 What made me wince was the title, because "Anemik" so completely describes this waste of plastic. I found this album simultaneously obnoxious and boring, a befuddling combination that almost stopped me listening all the way through.
Her dissonant tones and textures are a poor match for the soupy, uninspiring melodies. It's as if the right hand didn't know what the left was doing. Don't even get me started on the half-hearted "inspired by" cover of Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You." Big thumbs down.

Posts / 187 RA Since / Apr 2007 | #5 / Mon, 02 Nov 09 16:55 It feels like she has much talent but somehow the record isnt concentrated, for me its hardly listenable and i love some of her tunes. I perhaps listen again to my Fever Ray records than.

This music can be done easily by downloading MIDI presets on the net and using GM sounds, without even making a big effort.
sorry, I estimate her, but not on this.

New user Posts / 7 RA Since / May 2009 | #19 / Sat, 07 Nov 09 08:29 What an album, what an album...
I think its simply ahead of its time.
Jazzy, experimental, soulful, nicely packed in combination with tech house .
Something that simply stands out of all the generic and plain electronic music today with so much personality and originality. 4.5/5

Fadik is awful.
After having a couple of listens to the album, i would say this is by far the BEST TRACK on the album. So much melancholy and depth. Great vocal and guitar and excellent drum programing... futuristic electronica...
