Murmur
Released: August 2000
The follow-up to B(if)tek's independently-released 1996 debut album,
"Sub-Vocal Theme Park", "2020" finds B(if)tek refining
their unique sounclash of apparently disparate elements to create a world where the
past meets the future, bringing the analogue and digital worlds into perfect harmony
with a dash of subversive and surreal humour. But then what would you expect from two
women equally at home discussing the aesthetic and philosophical significance of modern
German electronic music composition or reminiscing about old episodes of Scooby Doo -
"We are the Velma and Daphne of electronica"?
Conceived as the soundtrack for the first manned space mission to Mars, slated for "2020" -
the pair have already entered negotiations with NASA to have their music played during
astronaut training and on the flight itself - the album encapsulates B(if)tek's slightly
skewed take on 21st century pop music and their desire to carve out a place within it they
can call their own.
