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 down-tempo 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. The second in a trio of albums released by the core duo of Lawrence Chandler and Martha Schwendener, Beat is without doubt their definitive artistic statement. Coming 20 years to the day of its original release, this is the first time this album has been available on vinyl in almost two decades, and the first ever U.S. vinyl release.\" - Kranky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in gatefold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Kranky 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bowery Electric","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":32973055197274,"sku":"lp-11812","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/boweryelectric-beat-20th-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762279419","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/bowery-electric-beat-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
