Amazon.co.uk Review
The full-length debut of Cologne-based avant-funk pioneer Oliver Braun betrays more than a hint of the deconstructing tendencies of the European underground (see also the likes of Pole, Sofa Surfers, and Bernd Friedmann). In spite of its complex stylings, there's a light touch to such efforts as "The Great Krautrock Swindle" and "Jamaika Fractal" that ensures Beige's flagrant genre-mashing rarely gets caught up in difficult pretension. Braun is au fait with the mutant wobble of acid house, the abstract structural design of intelligent techno, and the polished sheen of chart-friendly P-funk--when each genre collides at speed, 'I Don't Either' comes into its own. Beware, though, the occasional pointless excursion, such as '12A prt.07-2', which proves that such musical experiments are best conducted in sight of a full dance floor--

Description
A minimalist daydream of bleeps and funk, I DON'T EITHER isa playful entry in the dance genre, although on its original release in 1997 it made an interesting niche for itself inthat rarefied ether where old-school Krautrock meets (then-new)-fangled electronica, a fact underscored humorously by the track "The Great Krautrock Swindle".
