  • Summary: German producer/remixer/artist Michael Beckett (a frequent collaborator of Schneider TM) makes his North American debut with this new LP of experimental/minimalist electronica, notable for its use of (heavily tweaked) guitar as a major instrument.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 6
  2. Negative: 0 out of 6
  1. These minimalist songs are surprisingly and undeniably funky.
  2. You appreciate his delightful little melodies and quirky rhythmic tics more because you have to strain to hear 'em. [Aug 2003, p.110]
  3. Unlike a lot of electronica, the music never lapses into mere tastefulness. [#235, p.75]
  4. It's a bit harsh of me to say that there's nothing interesting going on in Player, Player because that's certainly not the case. Instead, the problem seems to be with contructing the songs themselves.
