披著環境、downtempo、後搖滾、夢幻 瞪鞋的 90s 紐約另類搖滾樂團 Bowery Electric 經典專輯《Beat》第三度重發，這次廠牌 Kranky 也一併再版了首張同名專輯，隨著整片霧緩慢流動，不小心就陷入難以自拔的世界，雖然已經是 20 多年前的專輯，但現在聽還是覺得非常驚艷。
REISSUED ON VINYL!!! The second album from New York City s Bowery Electric was released in late 1996, less than 15 months after their self-titled debut, but it found them having traveled light years musically in the interim, the group having seemingly decided to see how far they could take the guitar/ bass / drums / vocal setup into the atmosphere. Every aspect of their approach had been refined and focused: squalling, distorted guitars had been transformed into hazy, sensual sheets; the live drums transmuted to sampled rhythms more in debt to the blossoming downtempo sound of the day; bass lines reduced to their most basic diagrams; vocals submerged to become one with the narcotized fog of the instruments; even the lyrics were reduced to a few minimal lines used sparingly so as not to overshadow the dynamic. Beat is a lush and dense mantra of shadowy percussion, barely-there vocals and immersive drones that envelops the listener in an opiated blanket of sound. Includes the bonus track "Low Density," not featured on the original U.S. release.
