Beige might have to have a genre named for him specifically. Let's call it clickdubjazzfunk. On his second album _Ein Königreich Für Eine Handgranate_, he abstracts elements of all of them, blending them into something altogether fascinating. The double bass of "Doesn't Hurt (Even If You Try)" gets overlaid with some odd wobbly synths for a bizarre experience that somehow works. The rhythms on the album stay firmly clicking away, even as the cut-up vocals on "Where Else -- If Not There" give way to a what-the-heck-is-this reaction. "Dreams" employs a tootling recorder to provide some additional texture, while "Gosh! 48 Channels" gets some light electro, augmented by some nice strings in the middle section. The funky horns on "Wonzo's Erster Tag" give an illusion of fullness in what is otherwise a very spare track. An odd listening experience, but rewarding nonetheless.
