Review:

 

From the Iboga HQ comes a triumphant CD that

fortunately takes their kick drums into 2001 and takes

the word "bored" out of their reviews. This is an

amazing collection of delicious, groovy, funky,

minimal and cool tracks cooked with precise samples

and elegant effects. Perfect to warm up every party or

to start a new day with style. The CD is really

enjoyable from beginning to end because Martin

(Audiopile) and Rene really know how to keep the

balance in the edge. My favourite tracks are the

powerful remix of Brain Drain and the alien sounding

Error. 9/10

[Guest Arthur]

I only like one track on this album wich is BRAIN DRAIN RMX!! very well done

remx nice rhytm and groove, It should work very well on the dancefloor!!!other

trax are the typical pump style of progressive trance with the same plain

conept through out the album !! nothing new there...

[Guest didge]

I loooove this album! The production is so clean and warm! For me it's the

basslines that make this album awesome! Chuck in wicked sound effects, wicked

drum loops and wella - my favourite minimal album so far! Favourite tracks are

brain drain, error, and depth drain, but all tracks do it for me. 9/10

[Guest ArchNemesis]

Beat Bizarre... what can be said, except its an album which delivers nothing

but good Iboga-styled psytrance, filled with rythms and sounds. I have no

actual favorite, maybe Monochrome or Brain Drain RMX, but I think all of the

tracks on this album are fantastic, and I hope to see a lot more Beat Bizarre

soon.

[Guest [Anonymous]]

I am starting to like minimal more and more. Also this album toke some time

from me to like, at first i really didn't get it. I liked the pounding beats,

but if that's the only thing it gets boring after a while.

But a few listens later i really dig it! I am right now listening to it and am

just amazed by the enegetic and freaky atmosphere it creates by the seemingly

random sounds, that most sertenly are less random then at first contact may be

heard.

It's all well produced and the bass is really loud and everything is well

balanced. I can really recommend it to every one! 8.5/10 (just for the sake

of rating!)

[Guest cubica (cubic lab)]

This is the best deeptrance album all time. Great detailed sound, with a soooo

good mastering and dynamic. Percussions is great, so clean and warm. Basslines

is so thick and heavy. The only thing i dont like is that theres only 7 tracks

on it

[Guest bassybeats]

some of the pure roling base lines lewd has cracked out deserve every respect,

I stomped in joy as brain drain hit the floor. I think that track 5 (the new

breed) has the darkest sounds I have heard for a long time. I found it in

psychedelic dream temple in camden if anyone is looking for it.

[GaySatanicHippie]

This is THE SHIT!!!!!!! No one goes as deep as Beat Bizarre goes. Rolling

Basslines, phat kicks, TRIPPYYYYsounds everywehere, it just descends more and

more to the center of the earth. My favs. are Funk Fluid and Monochrome, but

all others are at least 9/10 too. I also love the cover and the title of this

CD, it all fits together perfectly, it is just one long and dark trip to

insanity. This is pure hypnotizing highly psychedelic trance that lets you

fill inthe blanks with your own head, while giving you the "support from

below" that you need. 10/10, no doubt about it. Beat Bizarre is the future, i

hope to hear more!!!!!

[Guest jigga]

sounds quite pumping in my opinion. all good. gonna dj brain drain rmx at a

friends birthday next week, should get the masses moving. pump it up and

bounce around to the error and the new breed of it all . yeah baby ! yeah!

progressive trance yay! go goa, go progress, make everyone mental! no real

melodies ? so what? pump pump pump! when no pumps then bring in the melodies ,

all good as I said b4 all good!

[Guest Xymaths]

Yes this is what I will call the "Rolls Royce" of minimal trance-not a lot of

it turns my head but yes this was good. Lets call this minimal trance

101-beginners introduction. As for shit like Ticon, well they can fuuck off!!

[Guest the dank man]

A classic for minimal psy-trance; not as technoish as wizzy noise, and very

very danceable. Perhaps, just a notch progressive, but definitely not

overdone (like monoclone, for example), and stays very psychedelic thruout. I

loved it spun in a small warehouse-type setting, didn't really like it in my

car stereo (but that was morning and I was pissed off that I have to go to

work), but now love it again thru my comp -- it's a mood thing, so don't just

listen to it once. Minimal tends to grow on you unlike nothign else.

[Setsuko]

great, amazing... incredible hypnotising... wow, this is my style for the

dancefloor... clear sounds, stomping beats and basses... and a groove which

makes you go nuts on the dancefloor... good work... my favourite tracks are

'pony sauce', 'brain drain (rmx)' and 'funk fluid' ... it sounds refreshing

like a new breeze through psyland...psychedelic rating : 9/10 (no doubt about

that)

[Guest Tomvcarter]

When i first bought this i was disapointed, but i gave it another chance, and

could not belive what i had been missing. Funky, dark, atmospheric, extremly

inteligent, amazing baselines (Depth pitch), killer percussion (Brain Drain),

and it all sounds sooooo good together. Have a fat spliff and shake your ass

to this in your bedroom! I heard brain drain in a club recently, and it is

fucking amazing to dance too. If you like reefer decree think darker and more

atmospheric. Cant think of anything wrong with this release, exept that i want

more! 9.5/10.

[Guest kadafi]

this again will be a 'Waaw-review'... I think Iboga has the most well-produced

pithy kicks ever... I love them... They are hard to describe (just listen to

this alb. or Reefer Decree's or Logic Bomb... those are the true stomp-kicks

imo!)

Also, this alb. didn't take any time to 'grow on me'... I liked it right away;

ignoring the power of those kick-basses is not an option!

Favorites: Brain Drain rmx (This must be the absolute

killergroove on the whole alb! It just keeps on going! like the

Hux-Flux-sample: 'I'm feeling sensation...')

Pony Sauce (Kickkickkickkick...ba-haha-ssbababa... just

great!) Depth Pitch (this one is the perfect example of that pithy Iboga KICK I

keep moaning about... but it has some weird breaks indeed...)

Monochrome (great vibe, but some sounds in it are

just 'to much'...)

Overall...this is piece of plastic is superb...and one of my favorite

minimalalbs all time... 8,5/10

[khogg]

I like all tracks except for #6 (Error). Favorites: Brain Drain RMX, Funk

Fluid, Monochrome, and The New Breed (in that order). I think the style of

this album has been well described already, so I won't elaborate. Those of you

who won't like this should be able to tell easily from the reveiws. From my

point of view, the album does sound very similar throughout. Like all

'minimal' stuff, I have to be in the mood for it. When I am, this really

sounds good, especially Brain Drain! : )

[Guest Epic Automata]

I originally ordered this album thinking it was more tech-oriented. I was

initially disappointed to hear that it was actually in the minimal vein, a

genre that wore out its welcome with me many months ago. That said, I find

this to be a great album. The soundwork in particular is phenomenal. If I were

the creator of an epic sci-fi movie I'd want these guys making the sounds for

the machines and the plantlife of my alien worlds, as well as the music for

any tense action sequences. I'm also very impressed with Beat Bizarre's

ablility to keep the extremely repetitious low end from getting boring by

attaching sounds and incredible percussion to the foundation like barnacles on

the hull of a streamlined ship. Unlike many acts, these guys know how to

attack with sounds, then get out, stab then dodge. I might be alone with this

opinion, but I found several aspects of Lewd in common with Hux Flux's Cryptic

Crunch, or perhaps a marriage of Cryptic Crunch and Zerotonine's Cygnus Loops.

Great stuff. 9/10

[Guest Psychedelic AllabertA]

Well, I personally like melodic goa and full-on sounds more, but it's important

to keep an open mind for everything (except deep jazzy house ... Although I

think a lot of minimal albums people praise so much are quite boring,

uninventive and lack the magical touch of goa, this one is an exception and it

proves that at least one artist in each music genre knows how to make really

good music and gives the genre a reason to exist (heck, maybe even in jazzy

house!

And so, some of these tracks are a bit stronger (T3) but most of them are

really minimal. Nevertheless, it sounds so organic, with all those quirky

sounds and deep, phat basslines which just flow... In fact, the entire CD

flows like some thick liquid and carries you on the top. Maybe the producers

had the same picture in their heads like me (pony SAUCE, funk FLUID )

It's nice, fresh and funkay... I give it an 8.5/10 (minimal lovers may freely

add 1.5 to the score)

[Guest goa phreak]

maaaaaan!!!! i've read all the posts above and i must be a fuckin' weirdo or

something, but this really doesn't do much for me. i guess it could change a

li'l if i got really high... otherwise it's repetitive and

boooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!! monochrome stands out as the least dull. i

borrowed the cd from a friend, and i don't recommend buying it to anyone who

expects melodic stuff. 3/10.

[Guest Acidhive]

Goa phreak, if you were expecting melodic stuff here, you were thinking wrong

in the first place. That goes for anyone who thinks this is going to be

melodic. This is not melodic. It's dark, funky, wicked ass psytrance with lots

of quirks and good samples. Like most of their tracks. Only gripe with this is

that it could've been longer. But, the material that IS on offer here, is

really great!! 9/10 here and do bring out your second album soon guys!!

To quote Discogs user Fox_on_the_rox from December 2010 about this album:

 

"Awesome."

 

 

Wow. That is f*cking fantastic. Could you be a bit more descriptive? Too difficult, ok how about less? Even Samuel L. Jackson is bored and that guy gets excited over the smallest tasks.

 

"I'M GOING TO GET A CUP OF MOTHER F*CKIN' COFFEE!"

 

"NOW I'M GONNA PUT SOME SUGAR IN THE MOTHER F*CKER!"

 

"AIN'T THAT A B*TCH...I FORGOT THE CREAMER!"

 

I've been writing reviews long enough to know that everyone has their own style. Some people write a lot and some use pictures. Actually, I'm the only one I know who uses pictures and...well, some people hate it and some love it. Point is, who am I to tell someone how to write a review? That being said, "Awesome" just doesn't seem to cut it. Too vague. But Mike, how can "Awesome" be vague? I think this is awesome

 

 

But I like big boobs. To a gay guy he might think that is less awesome. Based on that theory, I am assuming that Fox_on_the_rox likes minimal music or too many melodies send him into an epileptic seizure the likes of which Michael J. Fox hasn't seen.

 

Beat Bizarre are René Gundel Nielsen & Martin Spanner Zimmermann and this was their first album waaaaay back in 2001. So this was made at least 10 years ago. If it's quality music it doesn't really matter how old it is. Look at the Beatles. Hell, look at I.F.O. First let me say that I don't really care for minimal. I find it rather boring, but when it's done well I can appreciate its atmosphere. Like some reviewers have said this isn't supposed to be the melodic tour de force. When it came out the minimal style was in so those hoping for layers of melody will come away from this disappointed.

 

I knew what this was going in and to me it is exactly what I thought it would be. Long pieces of monotony punctuated by dark themed effects mostly devoid of melody. I just read that back again and...ouch. But I'm sure the artists weren't striving to create stacks of melody as that scene ended. What is here is great production where every sound is very clear. My problem with it (besides the lack of melody) is that it goes on entirely too long. 3, 4, maybe five minutes I could take, but 9 and 10 minutes of just effects over the same bass line is snoozetown. But again, this wasn't made for me. The Brain Drain Remix seemed a little more punchy, but it still was weak by today's standards.

 

So I suppose this review is for the newbies to the scene. If you like melodic music than steer clear of this. If you like minimal then this is some of the best I have heard. It's dark and spooky pulsating music and sounds very good. I can easily appreciate it on repeated listens. Is that clear enough?

 

Awesome.

Beat Bizarre ‎– Lewd (2001)

 

A very strong release. And when I mean strong, I mean it literally.

This is straight forward progressive all the time.

A decent level of psychedelic. Nothing happy or fluffy

but meant to bounce on the dance floor.

Grumpy sounds crawling on a baseline that motivates me from the beginning to end.
