4 out of 5 stars If you like 50 Cent and not this, there's something wrong..........2005-03-08

Another brilliant release from Aphex Twin's Warp Records, former Anti Pop Consortium founder Beans has some hardcore electronic hip-hop the likes of which ye have never seen. It sounds nothing like you expect rap to sound, no cheesy and endlessly repeating samples and not a hint of Dre style pop-hop beats, yet it is still hip-hop. Bizarre squelches and synthetic sounds layered over stream of consciousness lyrics grounded in truthful, undramatized, and sugar free realism drowning in swells of varying base sounds constitute the essential framework of this dark, atmospheric EP. At all times you are surrounded by mountains of base but once you get used to the altitude, the thrill wears off. That's the only problem I can find with this, the basic song structure of each original track is pretty much the same. Although fresh, it doesn't take the listener on much of a journey considering the endless possibilities of basing your music in electronica. Perhaps he was just playing it safe. The Prefuse 73 remixes are a bit more intense but could that type of stimulation be sustained by Beans solo over a whole album? Time will tell. Until then, this is an affordable sample of hopefully bigger and better things to come.

3 out of 5 stars Just an EP.......2004-11-10

But here is my Review of this Beans CD released in 2004."Structure Tone" has sick verses by the man beans."Win or Loose you loose" has yet another good beat and has a underground beat layed down."Mutescreamer" has a nice beat layed down also has a catchy hook and raps by Beans."Data Breaker" he goes more to the old 92 Comm since style with a tight beat.This is probally the best song on here."Gold Skull" sounds like KRS-One from the early 1990's at least in voice."Composition Voice" is another standout track on the album
"Crevise" has a high quality beat the quantity is not full but the Quality is great."Mutescreamer" has a nice beat layed down by Prefuse 73."Freak the Beat" is a instrumental.This album is worth 3 Mics but I hope people will by it because Beans is a very talented MC.No this is not top of the line but it is better then some of the albums out today

5 out of 5 stars Kool Beans.......2004-05-11

Beans is having a renaissance. His recent tour with The Unicorns has forced many people to check him out. Not just the people that are into weird indie hiphop either. This is the second disk in a year from Beans. He was in Anti Pop Consortium for a while. This record is more of a remix record with El-P and Prefuse 73. Some tracks return from the previous thing, Tomorrow Right Now. Much of the music sounds like Throbbing Gristle or Suicide, with Beans rapping over it. It's probably closer in spirit to Schooly D and Kool Keith. It grows on you. It is getting better every day. Beans will be in your town soon enough.

4 out of 5 stars Get Someday Right Now!.......2004-03-12

This is Beans's second solo release following the excellent Tomorrow Right Now from 2003. If you enjoyed Beans unique approach to rap music on Tomorrow Right Now then NOW SOON SOMEDAY will not dissapoint.

SOMEDAY is split between 3 remixes of tracks from Tomorrow Right Now and 6 brand new compositions. The new tracks don't dramatically advance the sonic template established with Tomorrow, but as anyone knows from Beans's days in Anti-Pop Consortium, you can never predict the kind of unusual lyrical twists and odd computerized noises this guy will throw at you. The opening track, "Structure Tone", is a perfect example. On this tune Beans lets the music float amorphously into the air with woozy tempo changes and squiggly synths before brining it back down to earth. The music of "Databraker" is similary not of this world, with its slow-motion, druggy sci-fi bleeps. More beat-heavy are "Composition In Void" and, in my opinion, SOMEDAY's best track "Win or Lose You Lose", which has a chorus that I found near impossible to get out of my head.

The remix tracks, while good, keeps the record from being a unified whole. El-P and Prefuse 73 each take a turn at "Mutescreamer" and succeeds at giving the song a boost in added weirdness and complexity.

All of this music might just be a teaser for the new full-length Beans has already plans for in the works, but its not to be overlooked by anyone seeking adventerous hip-hop.
