Taken from their latest effort entitled
Truth, Another World by Beborn Beton is a collision of
synth-pop vocals, remarkably orchestrated string sequences aligned with wet,
rhythmic sequences, and a throbbing beat. Both the vocals and the lyrics are
catchy and seem to be the kind that stick in my mind. Of the two mixes of
Another World found on this single, the second (or Extended Remix)
seems to be the standout. It begins with a techno styled beat which transforms
itself into a wet, pulsating percussion line accompanied by raw synth lines and
a rough rhythm. All throughout this mix various synth sounds come and go, all
of which add something unique. The Truth relies more upon the deep,
softly delivered vocals while the music behind them is grounded by a steady
rhythm and beat. The complicated orchestration returns on Elaine, a
mellower piece the is more mood inducing than dancey. Since the eighties synth-pop
artists have sprung up from everywhere and Beborn Beton is one of those whose
music I find both addicting and fascinating.
