Beborn Beton
Biography
Electro-pop trio Beborn Beton was formed in Germany in 1989 by Stefan Tillmann (keyboards, drums), Michael Wagner (keyboards), and Stefan Netschio (vocals). After its first two albums, Tybalt and Concrete Ground, they signed to Strange Ways, joining a roster with fellow synth-pop artists Wolfsheim and De/Vision. Following Nightfall, Truth (which includes the club favorite "Another World"), and Fake, a U.S.-only best-of, Tales From Another World, was released May 2002. The second CD of the compilation features remixes by peers such as Camouflage, Apoptygma Berzerk, Covenant, and Funker Vogt. In spring 2002, Beborn Beton toured the United States with Apoptygma Berzerk. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide

I played Beborn Beton for my brother, and the first he said was, "Depeche Mode!" Now I appreciate Depeche Mode, but I can't personally get into them. I just ... get bored by the end of the album. Beborn Beton has been monopolizing my car stereo for months, on the other hand. To each their own. :)

@ living-dead corporate fem-zombie decaying slowly in a cube with pandora
That's not a roach. It's a little boat with a little person in it and another little person pulling on it. xD |
||
NO SMITHS? that's a fail lol
i love the melodrama, almost bordering on darkwave(whi c h is a good genre in itself) more beborn! you may want to look up a band called Diorama, and Diary of dreams. a little more melodramaitc but more powerful vocals, Diorama isn't on pandora, but they have well over 5 albums, anywho, look em up, it's worth it. |
||
I can't stand Depeche Mode or The Smiths so, thankfully, Beborn doesn't sound TOO much like them!
|
||
(but the roach-omelet t e on the orange cover has GOT to go. makes me lose my apetite every time it pandora plays it during lunch-time)
|
||
mmm! more depeche mode! more more more!
|
||
Depeche Mode absolutely, completely, utterly rocks ... so do Beborn Beton. It's amazing what can be accomplished with this sound. Why don't more bands succeed in pulling it off so gloriously? It makes me wonder if this "genre" is much more difficult to author than it would otherwise seem.

shaffnerfm - i agree. love to see people get psyched about their music. love to get my 16 year old son to listen to older stuff and say "see, your music comes from this". you can trace stuff back all the time. What i like to see is bands that emulate, pay hommage, give credit and then evolve. dont steal, copy, etc. take the blocks and build. you should all check out how all of the existing genres have evolved like cow punk, Oy!, folk rock, country, rockabilly. they have so many criss crosses.
|
||
music is always inspired from others, thats how its beautiful and different,
because it's always evolving... enough said, its a bomb dig band and i hope more can learn from them |
||
Ooo-- intelligent conversation and discussion! Yes, indeed, Depeche Mode was the major breakthrough with synthesizers , but I can think of half a dozen bands that relied on synth before them, so does that mean that Depeche Mode also is a copycat? I'm not used to seeing intelligent debates on artist comments! I love to go to the Metallica comments and watch the endless back-and-for t h there! So fun! Grab some popcorn and come with me sometime!
|
||
i wonder why they r getting me so hott this time good f**kin band amazing live and amazing beats and mixes
|
||
thanks, gawthic1, jcarrier01, vb1self, and jeleo242! Everything comes from somewhere else! I have probably 770 'favorite' songs on my list! Diversity is natural, anway.
|
||
If I wanted to listen to Depech Mode I would but I am enjoying the music of Beborn and I am thankful that Depeche helped to create this style of music so that artists such as Beborn can and do deliver kick a** music in the new millineum.

Agree with most of the remarks below to various degree (all a matter of taste, after all, with both listener and band "peaking" in the 80's), but a question: "Does anybody stop long enough from stooling on (ooops, my bad!),"decon s t r u c t i n g " these "derivative" bands long enough to just enjoy the music for its own sake?" Certainly, Depeche (com)Mode and others were the pioneers, but do not Beborn, Assemblage 23, Imperative Reaction, Neuroticfish and their ilk write damn good stuff NOW?!
|
||
Synthpop bands like Beborn, And One and others all come from what I like to call "Depeche Mode 101"
You really cant go wrong if you are a synthpop band with emulating (imo) the best synthpop band of all time. Also with out bands like Beborn, synthpop would of died out after the 80s (with the exception of the big 3: Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and New Order) |

They're not bad. I get a little tired of hearing/read i n g the "A is just a clone of B, therefore A must suck" argument. I even read on a Youtube blog that someone thought a Clan of Xymox song from "Creatures" sounded like a Sisters of Mercy clone. Everyone borrows and/or is influenced by many other artists. Few artists are ever TRULY original. So what if a song or artist sounds like someone else, does that mean you can't enjoy it? I guess so if you're eager to impress others with petty snobbery.
|
||
They fit just right with what I like. I have very specific criteria. Are you people even old enough to have heard Human League in the 80's????
|
||
They are SUCH a COMPLETE Human League Clone! Every note played and sung could be from a League album - in fact, that's what I thought I was listening to when the track started. Except the League write better lyrics - sorry, Beborn.
