Cassiber - Beauty The Beast
Review by Herma Fichter
Beauty The Beast is an experimental music album that was released by the German avant-garde band Cassiber in 1984. The album is a unique blend of different genres, including rock, jazz, electronic, and classical music. It features complex rhythms, unusual time signatures, and unconventional instrumentation, such as saxophones, synthesizers, and percussion.
The album's title is a reference to the famous fairy tale, and the music reflects the dichotomy between beauty and ugliness, harmony and dissonance, order and chaos. The album's tracks are numbered instead of named, adding to its enigmatic and abstract quality.
The opener, "Track 1," sets the tone with its intricate saxophone melodies and driving rhythms. "Track 3" features electronic soundscapes and distorted vocals, while "Track 5" is a haunting piano piece that evokes a sense of melancholy and introspection.
