Minus 8... One of the world's greatest!

"Let's chat about what a real artist (Robert Jan Meyer aka Minus 8) can do with great, sublime, original music. A great recording should be an effortless picture that the heart hears now and the mind contemplates later. Minuit opens up pathways that most downtempo albums dream of. Give this CD to your girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, dad, mother, to your kids or a special friend. Anyone who can hear will thank you for this reward. As a side note I have played this album a few hundred times (on my radio show) and I still get chills when the track White appears.I sincerely hope is that Minus 8 continues his musical career with fresh work for all of us to enjoy."

Fantástico Electronica Bossa Nova

"This is an incredible CD! I love Elysian Fields (by Minus 8) but this one is different. A little more mellow than Elysian Fields. UNBELIEVABLE! I'm just sitting here listening to it. Every song has a hook (or hooks) that grabs you. And all have a great electronic bossa nova beat. And that's EVERY song -- a rare achievement. This is too pretty. This is too upbeat to call "lounge" music -- it's electronica bossa nova perfecto!"

Bossa electrica

"not just another boss-a-troniq release! Sounds quite fresh for a Lounge, Break'n'bossa and all Brazilectro lover! It will go to my collection and if you like jazzy, downtempo Brasilian beats it's just the record you should listen to. Smooth and catchy but not popular music, moving from acustic to electronic sound. Hope that somebody who knows anything about this record writes a review with all the important data. For me it's just an extraordinary one."
