"Continuing with the experimentation of beats, 'Blow Up' shows a side of Bowery Electric not yet witnessed -- a rapid fire Drum and Bass excursion that will have the dance floor bumping. The addition of jungle into the mix is not to say they've forgone their droning beginnings and that use of the drone is exactly what makes 'Blow Up' stand out from the crowd and rock so hard. 'Electrosleep' on the flip side shows Bowery Electric pushing the boundaries in a different direction. The use of dissonant piano structures add a 20th Century classical/post-Wagner twist to this slow burner."

Title:	Beat
Label:	KRANKY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	KRANK 014CD

Transcendent 2nd full length album for the label, recorded 6/96. "With their now familiar sense of economy apparent in the arrangements, Beat finds Bowery Electric adding layers of analog synth and sampled guitars to their 'drone n' bass' foundations, along with programmed loops and live beats; further befuddling those Luddites still wondering whether the band is rock, post rock, ambient or dance." Stolen off the internet, summing things up: "Beat is a STUNNING record. A truly seamless meeting of their dreamy glacial drift, the muscle of the first (Loop-ish) 2x7", and the overpowering dub-erotic feel of Mad Professor/Massive Attack. Organic, metallic, and icy/hot. A compendium of contradictions which is one of the sweetest listens you'll hear all year. They certainly deserve the 'drone & bass' tag -- but don't expect Jenkinson breaks. The electronic elements are kept simpler (and buried)." --G Man II.
