BEEFCAKE - Coincidentia Oppositorum
Songs: 16  Time:  62:02
The German duo of Beefcake return in 2000 with their 2nd full length, Coincedentia Oppositorum.  Branching away from their break-beat driven debut, Beefcake strike out with even more erratic sampling and unpredictable beat structures.  Granted, there are plenty of breaks found within this recording, but with each new track Beefcake play on the randomness factor, surprising the listener with each new addition, be it a sampled vocal snippet or a full on set of breaks.  Not one portion of this CD is predictable, as Beefcake keeps its listeners on their toes.  Wildly variable, any of these 16 untitled tracks, will undoubtedly peak your interest as you anticipate their next move.  In addition there are several points on the album where Beefcake opt to slow things down a bit and take a more IDM appriach to their song structures.  Such is the case with track 8, a moderately paced track with some harmonious woodwind and string sounds.  Coincedentia Oppositorum is most definitely groundbreaking material and should pave the way for future acts.  In an industry suddenly thriving on mediocre, 'noise' acts, Beefcake have the insight and knowledge to create music unlike any other, giving them an edge over the rest.
