 Brainwashed - Edan, "Beauty and the Beat"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Boston beat nerd Edan's second full length Beauty and the Beat is, appropriately titled, a hip hop fairy tale, a record with b-boy credentials and otherworldly destinations.
And it shows: the music on Beauty and the Beat is undeniably old-block hopping funky hip hop music, but comprised of mostly samples from trippy 60s and 70s space and acid rock and suchlike instead of the usual jazz and RandB blend: David Gilmour instead of David Axelrod.
Much of Beauty and the Beat is just a simple three-part loop with some shifty sampling stapled to a whimsical, rapidly and steadily cadenced and often esoteric rhyme flow.

CB: Here’s the first thing: the title Beauty and the Beat perfectly captures the conflict at the heart of the record’s sound.
CB: The third thing I noticed was that I love Beauty and the Beat in all of its supernatural hot shit glory.

 Beauty and the Beat: Yamamoto Rocks (washingtonpost.com)
Ever since he arrived in Paris in the 1980s from his native Japan, he has been noted for his ability to tease out beauty from the starkest silhouettes and to reinterpret the traditions of French fashion through non-Western eyes.
Indeed, one of his most memorable collections was inspired by the work of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel, in which he toyed with her classic boucle jackets as well as her borrowed-from-the-boys philosophy.
And instead of teasing beauty out of starkness, he is finding his own drumbeat in the cacophony.

Boston MC Edan is one of those underground artists that have all the respect on the street but can't seem to attract a buyer for his CDs.
It's really unfortunate because the skill he shows off on Beauty and the Beat is groundbreaking.
The lyrics are hard hitting like the Beasties' but the samples and beats are darker and not as obvious.

 * Dusted Reviews - Edan *
The lexicon’s golden age (the late ’80s) was all about hard (repetitive) beats, an initial evolution away from juvenile rhyme schemes and only casual brushes with experimentation.
What is impressive about Beauty and the Beat is that instead of making something new out of something old, Edan has taken from old and made something that sounds even older.
Essentially, Beauty and the Beat is a three-way between a sampler, forgotten folk/psyche/prog records (he namechecks Pearls Before Swine, Mothers of Invention and King Crimson) and ’80s hip-hop.

The other is another silly, inoffensive song "We Got the Beat." It's a perfectly fine and wonderfully fun.
There's even no real delight to be had from the virtue of the beat (which is sometimes the only reason I enjoy certain songs by Duran Duran and other such bands).
It was very simply done without much instrumentation, scant drum beats, and a melody that's not catchy at all.

Après s'être fait remarqué en 2002 avec un excellent album (Primitive Plus), il enfonce le clou avec ce Beauty And The Beat qui risque fort de squatter les playlistes quand sera venu l'heure de faire les bilans de cette année 2005.
Beauty est peut être sur cet album le meilleur exemple de la capacité qu'a le bostonien de jouer avec les genres et les époques.
Sur ce Beauty And The Beat, Edan ne se contente pas d'aligner les ambiances et les influences (notamment celle, omniprésente, du rock de son adolescence) mais il se les approprie pour créer son propre style, sa propre vision du hip-hop, une vision assurément rafraichissante pour l'auditeur.

 Music : Beauty and the Beat
These Valley grrrls dressed up their punk heritage with a sense of glamour so that their music was at once ballsy and fanciful.
The peppery singles "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed" were their debut's chart climbers and glossiest tracks.
In their own modest, and thoroughly charming way, The Go-Go's, an all girl group, did something extraordinary with Beauty And The Beat, they broke into the male bastion of rock music totally on their own terms - writing their own material and playing their own instruments - and frankly, doing it better than the competition.

With no notable missteps, Beauty And The Beat comes as close to perfection that an underground album has in quite some time.
Nevertheless, Beauty And The Beat provides an experience that is second to none, and is an album that shouldn't be missed.

 The Rhythms on Songtrellis - African, Afro-Cuban and Swing rhythms
A timeline in African music is usually a repeated pattern that lasts 6, 12 or 24 beats, that spends a little more or less than half of its time visiting the on beats, makes a skip to the off beats, and then skips back to on beats at the end of the cycle.
This is the only pattern I've seen that fits a 16 beat cycle and which skips from onbeat to offbeat in the same matter as the usual African timelines, the long bell and short bell patterns.
The effect of the rhythm is to visit the onbeats for a little bit more than half of the cycle and then the offbeats for a little less than half of the cycle.

 The Go-Go's: Beauty and the Beat
The Go-Go's were the most popular all-female band to emerge from the punk/new wave explosion of the late '70s and early '80s, becoming one of the first commercially successful female groups that wasn't controlled by male producers or managers.
While their hit singles -- "We Got the Beat," "Our Lips Are Sealed," "Vacation," "Head Over Heels" -- were bright, energetic new wave pop, the group was an integral part of the Californian punk scene.
And they did play punk rock, even if many of their rougher edges were ironed out by the time they recorded their first album, 1981's Beauty and the Beat.

 Beauty And The Beat - Edan - Pandora Internet Radio
Boston's Edan has scored the hip-hop triple crown, rapping, programming and sampling at a masters level on his second full-length.
As an MC, he bows down while hyping himself up on the wink-nudge titled "Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme," giving extended shout-outs to the history of hip-hop, from Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash through to Ultramagnetic MC's and Prince Po, all over a break as dusty and faded as an episode of Carnivale.
"Polite Meeting" offers a beat and sample collage on par with the current work of DJ Shadow and RJD2, and one is left to really ponder at the possibility of Edan trying to perform the beats and vocals live.
