Beaumont Hannant - Texturology

Label: GPR
Year: 1994
Styles: Ambient Techno, IDM

Review:

Texturology is both drenched in woozy summertime warmth, and full of icy, metallic accents. This yin-yang of warmth and coldness runs throughout the whole album. This was the last hurrah for Hannant, before he released the more commercial, and less pleasing "Sculptured" shortly after.

Beaumont Hannant - Basic Data Manipulation

Label: GPR

Year: 1993

Styles: Ambient Techno, IDM

Review:

Although respected within the IDM community for his work, Beaumont Hannant remains the most criminally overlooked artist of the Artificial Intelligence era.

Boasting an ear for both lush ambient soundscapes, and abrasive audio shrapnel, he is perhaps the only producer from the nineties deserving of a comparison to Aphex Twin.

Most apparent on this, his first release, is the unique way in which Hannant structures his compositions.

While contemporaries such as Britains Mu-ziq mimicked the stylings of Richard D. James (almost to a science), Beaumont Hannant reached the same heights, while maintaining a sound unlike anyone else from the period.
