>I Dont Either is the debut album by Cologne's ultrafunk protegé Oliver
>Braun. Composed of compulsive, playful electronica and skeletal house music
>- and influenced as much by P-Funk and the clipped R&B of Timbaland as it
>is by the fractured Cologne sound - this is the real future funk.
>
>Where much recent electronica relies on swathes of effects to bedazzle the
>listener, Beiges power lies in the way he strips the music down to a
>radically funky minimum. Initially alien to the ear, Beige takes the
>over-familiar elements of house music - the basslines, the vocal snatches -
>and puts them back together in a way youve never heard before. The album
>doesnt give up its charms right away, but as you filter through the dense
>layers of ideas, a strange sense of melancholy becomes apparent: its fun
>(sometimes funny), but with emotional intent.
>
>The unassuming Braun was first brought to the labels attention by Stefan
>Betke (aka Pole), which was a pretty strong recommendation in itself. A
>couple of early tracks appeared on Caipirinhas superb Deutsche Funk
>collection (curated by Bernd Friedmann), and the two tracks on last years
>Osmosis compilation created a real stir. I Dont Either will be followed in
>May by the already legendary 'The Rhythm? The Message!' as a 12", with
>another single to come. Beige has also
>contributed a track to the next installment of the Invisible Soundtracks
>series.
