Rated 5/5
Review by tcordes Apr 02, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
This album is simply amazing. Beefcake does what Aphex used to do so well, take harsh beats and layer beautiful melodies overhead. Beefcake takes it to the nth degree in a more modern frenetic glitch style. Their drum programming can be likened to Squarepusher and Venetian, but that is not what makes them so good: taken by itself I would shun their output. The real magic of Beefcake is in the floating atmospheres and occasional melodies that come and go above the psychotic drums. Very emotional and cinematic, almost epic. Catch them while you can, though, as they don't last long and the best bits leave you wanting (much!) more.

I have been less impressed with their other releases and so Coincidentia is the best place to start if you haven't heard them yet. Also, the solo effort of Kattoo - Places has an amazing Beefcake-esque track in #5.

I bought this on the strength of his track on the masonic compilation and was blown away by it.
This album is amongst the best ive heard from hymen records alongside Venetian Snares "Doll Doll Doll" and End's "Science/Fiction" and Starfish Pool's "Illusions Of Move – The Golden Cycle"
It also places him for me firmly alongside the best when it comes to this, next to Aphex, Bogdan, Snares & Squarepusher.
If you buy 3 albums on hymen get End, Snares & this!
