My favourite group these days are The Nits in case you haven't noticed. "Hat" is a mini album with only six tracks, where four are on the double live "Urk", so it's not really much new for me. "Hat" is a more consistently mellow album than some of the other which mix spectacular numbers with simpler ones. The funny thing is that the tracks I like the most are "Blue" and "Hat" which are not on "Urk". And "The Bauhaus Chair" of course, a lovely little harmonic piece. The album opens with "The Train" which I think was a hit of some sort, but if The Nits only have been making songs like "The Train" I wouldn't be crazy about them. It's the weakest tune on "Hat". So if you heard "The Train" and said: nah, that's nothing special, you should make another sample. -- Erland Sommarskog - ENEA Data, Stockholm - sommar@enea.se
