Upon initial listen, one might be inclined to think this is a record made by a global contingent of musicians aligned to bring a block party vibe to the proceedings. The international flavor of this record propels you on a tour of the world perfectly timed to partake in all of the festivals and parades. Tight beats and jazzy riffs take over, leaving the listener wondering where they’ll go next. The destination as it turns out, is Germany, the homeland of Beanfield.
The trio responsible for these multi-cultural inspired jams is Tobais Meggle, Jan Krause, and Michael Reinboth, musicians with a firm finger on the pulse of the diverse sets of sound contained here. Disco, electronica, funk, and jazz all coalesce seamlessly across the 11 tracks of Human Patterns. A truly inspired record, its success is adhering to the roots of the music while at the same time making something new and original.
