I'm not going to diss this album, but the direction beanfield has evolved in just doesn't interest me. Almost every track has vocals, very smooth soulful light R&B vocals. The vocals tend to be the main focus, rather than the interesting sounds or creative programming that made beanfield's previous albums catch my interest. The songwriting and arrangements are consistently non-offensive. and maybe a bit bland to my ears.

Great brunch music. Not very exciting though.

This record is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Hot....i love it. I have been searching for solo projects by the vocalists on this record for about 1 year can anyone help? I love this album...it is chill, soulful and upbeat all at the same time....I can not explain it but this is the real deal...more of this..on the real....I love this album...they remind of another eruo band i love called "Liquid Loop"....there is good music out there!!!!....i have had this record for almost a year and I am still listening to it like I just bought it....

My original review: "Not as intense as HUMAN PATTERNS, which was an incredible, breakthrough type of new sound, but worth the five-year wait!" In retrospect, I was just being kind because I loved HUMAN PATTERNS so much. I've hardly listened to this CD since I first got it. HUMAN PATTERNS was SO incredible, SO groundbreaking, SO amazing, the type of CD you would turn off all the lights and blast it at top volume and just sit there being amazed!!! This is a "nice" CD. Some of the vocals are very "nice". But nowhere near HUMAN PATTERNS which is one of the BEST CDs I've bought in the last 10 years.

Beanfield has always been attuned to downtempo jazz, and their 3rd album, SEEK, doesn't stray from this. Ernesto certainly adds some soul to the pizzicato strings of "Chosen" and the smooth house vibe of "Someone Like You." But it's Bajka who adds the most vocal spice, with her unique phrasing and moments of spoken word on "Tides" or the twinkling electro of "Home." But Beanfield does just as well with its instrumentals. Check out the upbeat organ chords and bleeping on "Vertigoheel" or the graceful clarinet and trumpet on "Cargo." A nifty little album.
