[Plus 8 087] Adam Beyer - A Walking Contradiction (2005)

[zentex]

doesn't work for me at all

[minimise]

never would have thought myself considering getting a new Beyer-record again, but this is just sounding pretty good...

didnt like the stuff on mad eye at all?

I've never been too gone on the harder side of techno but sometimes the odd thing would pop up that I loved like some of the old Neil Landstrumm or Cristian Vogel stuff (both fascinating producers in my opinion) but I didn't really think that Beyer was ever on my radar that much.

However, I picked up the first mad eye record (Adam Beyer and Henrik B). Don't remember even looking at the artist name, just listened to side B and WOWW! Had to have it.

Great groove, dirty and catchy and nasty and lovely and ecstatic ALL AT THE SAME TIME :-)

Picked up a Mr.Sliff record on Jericho (JEL02) back in '98 in much the same way only finding out much later that it was him.

Now I really dig this new record.

Closet beyer fan?

Hmmm.

Good stuff though. He's obviously got an open mind. I like that and it reminds me to try to keep my own mind open.

dc.

right before Truesoul popped up, i had the chance to discuss with him the whole 'getting
boring' thing, bout 3-4 yrs ago. swedish style techno was still on peaktime but he had
(pleasantly) replied "i'm not all bumpin 4/4, just wait & see"...

btw: i don't believe he has eventually jumped on any bandwagon, he didn't have to anyways.

this track is really really great. I always love the clicks and glitches of minimal music, but beause of the slower pace of the music, i get bored sometimes. This record (especially pt 1)is the perfect combination of both worlds; minimal and techno!
