Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The signs were all there with Champion Versions: A riotous cut-up of existentialist blues ("Dog's Got A Bone"), transcendent folk ("Dry the Rain") and crunchy lo-fi hip-hop ("I Know"), it sounded like Screamadelica remade in a Gregorian monastery--a masterful, if amateurish debut EP. The authors, as well, were satisfyingly absurd: four reclusive Scottish surrealists with a distrust of the music press, they prefer to keep their mouths shut and let the music do the talking. The Three EP's collects Champion Versions with the Beta Band's subsequent two releases: The Patty Patty Sound was beautiful campfire psychedelia, culminating in a seven-minute long, two-chord love song "She's The One For Me". Los Amigos Del Beta Bandidos, however, was mournful, but with an improvisational edge characterised by the cold mantra of "Push It Out". A better bet than the Beta's overlong debut album, The Three EP's finds them at their eclectic best. --Louis Pattison
From Amazon.com
Citing influences ranging from the decidedly serious Martin Sheen to the asinine Chevy Chase to funkmaster Bootsy Collins, the Beta Band is a delight. This aptly titled compilation of three separately released EPs is sure to leave music fans scratching their collective head while trying to define this Scottish band's intricate aural hodgepodge. The Beta Band makes a very distinct and exciting impression. There's the unusual coupling of acoustic guitar, horn, sampled beats, and a catchy refrain on "Dry the Rain"; the hypnotic instrumental "B+A"; and "She's the One," which opens with a chaotic, hippyish drum circle that segues first to an anthemic chorus and then to a highly processed breakdown complete with a Jew's harp. The Three EPs will dominate the CD player, becoming somewhat of an obsession, with each listen revealing some brilliant little nuance, quirk, or lyric. --Kerry Murphy
