The bassist calls on pianist Keith Jarrett and drummer Jack DeJohnette for his greatest album as leader. It is the same lineup as the obviously more-vaunted Jarrett standards trio, and this recording lacks nothing of the Jarrett-led albums. It works, not due to the great pianist's presence alone, but because Peacock is a strong writer of atmospheric pieces that seem to hark to natural forces--the wind and the rain. ECM has characteristically opted for a lush sound. Peacock's enveloping bass sound sings in a yearning, elevated voice. He has drawn from the direct lyricism of Bill Evans. His own sound and compositions are, however, even more introspect and otherworldly, thanks in part to Peacock's judicious use of elements from the avant-garde, in which he often worked. --Peter Monaghan

4 out of 5 stars Misunderstood.......2006-10-07

I have to agree with one of the previous reviewers, who said that the first people who reviewed this album didn't seem to appreciate what went into it. Few DJs can put together such a diverse collection of electronic music--techno, house, trance, dance, ambient--and pull it off as well as FC Kahuna.

The blending of tracks here is really good. As someone else already mentioned, Kahuna's ability to make the songs blend so smoothly is truly something to be appreciated--especially from those of us who have worked as DJs and know what a tricky art this is.

The album's strength, however, might also be its fault in the minds of some. Moving across so many different styles might not be the type of sound everyone is looking for in an electronic album. Still, I believe credit should be given where credit is due. It's not perfect, but I think it was an ambitious and stellar effort just the same.

5 out of 5 stars GIVE THE MAN A BREAK, FOLKS!!!!.......2005-11-08

FC Kahuna has done a masterful job of putting songs together for any late night party occasion!!! Hell, you try DJing a party and making all the songs flow without dead silence! FC Kahuna mixes without you even being aware that a track has changed! Just think, this could be another dance mix CD full of material you've heard a million times before--and do we really need another one of those??? HELL, NO!!!!

4 out of 5 stars BANG UP JOB.......2005-05-31

This album isn't for everyone. I didn't like it when i first heard it, and i put it on the shelf, but after giving it a listen a few times it grew on me, and i'd say it's one of my favorites now. Only if they could keep this series going. I'd love to see the Chem bros do ANOTHER FINE MESS! over all its a wacky album especailly sea shells what a wacky track!! but Blurs 'Music is my radar' top's it all. FINE WORK FC KAHUNA, check out MACHINE SAYS YES if you like this

4 out of 5 stars Oh..........2004-07-16

I don't think the other reviews are accurate in the sense that they all knock this as not being a FC Kahuna album...but one look @ the tracklisting and you can see it's not.

This cd is a collection of late night dance songs compiled by the memebers of FC Kahuna. I'll agree that it's not for everyone, but for the most part I love it. From the opening Jolly Music track "K-Fun" to the awesome closing song by The Polyphonic Spree I don't think this cd dissapoints @ all...

I love it...in fact if I could have it's children I would...

...oh.

2 out of 5 stars take it for what it is.......2004-02-15

this is just a compilation album put together by fc kahuna. kinda sorta alright if you like this kind of music and are interested in hearing their influences/peers. personally, i don't usually like this kind of music and fc kahuna is just an exception, so, this is album is pretty, you know, meh...

        5 out of 5 stars Underrated is an understatement!.......2006-12-25

        They're more like a best kept secret of sorts; an ever-present, mutating strain of synthpop that displays all the classic symptoms but never shows up as a diagnosis. Stop your searching for new music, you've found it.

        It's deep, cleverly(often humorously so) written and wonderfully varied. "Another World" might make you think VNV Nation, while "Mantrap(The Seduction") breathes a more aggressive beat into the mix which is reminiscent of Ministry(their early sound) or perhaps even Project Pitchfork. Their themes are varied like shiny, individually wrapped candies. Melancholy("Lost Little Robot",) Futuristic Frenzy("Ambush",) Sci-Fi("Dr. Channard",) Love("Peach")etc. Fast, slow, poppy, abrasive, and unassuming, but synthpop of the highest grade that will pique your interests and make you smile.

        I also encourage you to explore further into BB's back catalogue. There, you will find more gems that touch upon all aspects of life, including the not-so-common ones, such as Sadism and taking chances even in the face of death(both of which can be found on their "Tybalt" album.) Enjoy ;)

        5 out of 5 stars A stellar compilation from a great, under-recognized band.......2004-03-25

        Beborn Beton totally stole the show away from the headliners, Apop Berzerk, when I saw them live in San Francisco in 2002. Right after their set, I bought this greatest-hits/remixes CD at the t-shirt booth. I wouldn't sell it now for $1,000 (it's signed). And I got to talk to them for a while after the show (mostly with Till--who's incredibly nice and cute!)

        If you've never heard Beborn before, their music recalls older Depeche Mode (think "Music for the Masses"), but often with a harder edge. Hints of New Order (in many songs, especially "The Colour of Love") and Apop Berzerk ("Mantrap" and others) are clearly there too. If you like any of those bands, you'll probably love this CD. Danceable and melodic, but not all sunshine and happiness by any means.

        The lyrics of one of my favorite songs on this CD, "Poison," seem particularly relevant right now, especially for US citizens. It opens with the repeated line "You think you can do anything you want. We'll you can't" (and a great synth beat starts), and soon it's quite clear that the song is about the USA. The chorus haunts me, given the current state of US government policy:

        "What will it be
        Seize your final opportunity
        For I can't tell
        So name your poison"

        This was written in '99--I can only imagine what Beborn thinks of the US these days. Have we finally named our poison?

        As others here have said, there really isn't a bad track here. Very, very highly recommended!

        5 out of 5 stars A Definitive Collection by Underrated Band.......2004-02-26

        BB is one of the less heralded electronic bands on the planet despite having cranked out a decade's worth of very strong music and some ultra-memorable singles. Their sound lies somewhere between straight synth-pop and electro industrial; they probably perfectly define the term future-pop. The biggest splash is undoubtedly the floor stomper "Another World" that was a worldwide Goth/Industrial hit, but believe me it would appeal to any electronic fans.

        There are too many tracks to list so I'll just summarize. There are no bad tracks here and many are excellent. However BB takes a little getting used to as they are not trying to be just another Depeche disciple. Beborn writes some strange songs that grow on you with time. "Poison", "New Born King" and "Earth" fit this description. "Another World", "Elaine" and "Vorbei" are tracks that anyone could jump right in and enjoy. Get ready for about 33% of the songs to be in German too, but the songs are catchy enough that you won't mind.

        If you like electronic music then you will like this a lot. If you are into Goth/Industrial but don't know BB then run don't walk to get this today!

        I ordered this through ArtOfFact because it was about time I purchased a release by these dancefloor wonders. At first I expected the entire release to be club friendly 4/4 typical synth pop, but was very pleasantly surprized. Not only was this not your average electro act but they showcase their many influences in the 80's genre (as stated in the cd liner notes) quite fluently! The lyrics are sometimes kooky sometimes serious, and always intelligently executed by Stefan. This deluxe set is a treasure box for those who can't afford to buy the...imports of their releases. The songs are infectious...believe me...I am still catching myself singing the words to "The Colour of Love", "Peach" and "Poison" as I casually go about my day. =) Well Worth Buying!

        5 out of 5 stars Journey to Another World........2002-07-14

        I had the pleasure of attending one of Apoptygma Berzerk's World Harmony shows last May. Because I had never seen Apop live, I was very impatient standing and waiting for them to come on. I had never heard of the opening act Beborn Beton, so I was hoping they would play a short set and get off the stage.

        However, once they started playing I was blown away; really blown away. Their sound was intense and precise, with the dual keyboarders and the bald man with the demonic voice. There was a hint of dance mixed in with their industrial beats, causing the crowd to get moving. It was maybe the best opening act I have ever seen, and luckily they were selling CD's at the shirt booth.

        When i popped in the CD, though, I expected the same growling, haunting, aggressive sound to power its way out of my speakers, but it was not to be. The music, although still excellent, seemed more mellow, more calm. The bald man's voice was not as deep and the beats were not as heavy. Despite this little difference, the album still remains one of my best purchases. My favorite is "Mindtrap-The Seduction", probably because it is the hardest and the one I remember most vividly from the concert. Other standouts are "Another World", "Peach", "Elaine", "Colour of Love", "Life is a Distance", "Deeper than the Usual Feeling", "Poison", "New Born King", and "Ambush". The rest of the tracks flow beautifully to where you can just press play and not have to worry about skipping songs.

        Now onto the remix disc. Im not the biggest fan of remixes, because I think they can get too numerous and all end up sounding alike, and a lot of the electronic world seems to be dominated by remixes, but feeling I was selling out to the artists for not listening to the whole thing, I took it in the car on a long drive.

        The first track, a Funker Vogt tweaked "Dr. Channard" was pretty good, and being a song not on the first CD it was nice, but then came number 2, a remix of "Peach". Oooh. Very, very, nice. Has that danceable club thump at first, then devours you in an extremely wicked array of background sounds, mixed with the excellent vocal layout, and is definitely something to be happy about. Highlights from the rest are "Im Innern Einer Frau", "Too Emotinonal", "Vorbei", the other "Peach" mix, and the drums on "Poison" are just sweet.

        Beborn Beton is not mainstream in the States yet, since I know of only two other people who have heard of them, but frankly, I hope this music does not get to the mainstream level. It is a great underground sound here and should stay that way. It's quality can go down if it is picked up by, let's say MTV or something like that. Nonetheless, I think anyone interested in electronic music should give this a listen.
