Beefcake - Drei

Thrill Beat Construction, 2001
August 1st, 2013

A 1 hour (+) continuous recording. 20 or something tracks unforgivingly scattered in 3 minute cuts. Must be heard as a whole. Ill beats, breaks and experimental forging of beautiful compositions. Different rhythm styles blends to the duos distinctive harmonized sound..

Αφήνουμε(νει) τις μονομέρειες. Πιάνουμε(νει) ό,τι έχουμε γύρω μας για να φτιάξουμε(ξει) κάτι δικό μας(του). Μοναδικό..

Volker (aka "kattoo" nowadays) and Gabor unofficially discontinued the "beefcake" project on 2004 having released overall 3 albums and 4 eps and lots of guest appears on b-sides and compilations. All of them fulfilling expectations on every minute.

Listening "drei" i found myself alone in a room with the door closed tight, my mind is trying to tune with the sounds. The feeling takes you away here and there now and then but keeps you constantly inside your emerging thoughts. Only with the last track I seem to settle on a surrounding. Forgotten at the closure of a party, at dawn with a feel of content and confidence despite my loneliness.

Σαν να αιωρούμαστε ακίνητοι και μόνοι, μόνο και μόνο για να διαπιστώσουμε τις αποστάσεις που μας χωρίζουν να πάρουμε θάρρος για τις δικές μας πράξεις.

Ill, trip hop, break, idm and orchestral stuff unleash a 2001 experience to the 2013 reality.

Some favorite tracks around the cuts 4, 8 (aka "moondrops") , 12 and 21 to the end. But don't rush . The album is marginally a concept one and it must be heard likewise. Perhaps it sounds a little difficult, but it is rewarding.
