Arguably one of the most acclaimed and loved bands of the past 20 years, by both fans and their musical peers alike,
The Beta Band
formed in St. Andrews, Scotland, in 1996. Innovative and singular, their unique musical and aesthetic approach to everything they did set them far apart from their musical contemporaries. Together for a relatively short period of time, the three albums and three EPs they released between 1996 and 2004 would nonetheless help define them as one of the most exciting and cherished bands of their generation. After a short hiatus the band gradually gravitated back into the studio and recruited noted UK producer
Colin Emmanuel
, aka
C-Swing
, to oversee the process of
Hot Shots II
which was released in mid-2001. Notoriously the band had intended to release "Squares", which featured a sample from the
Günter Kallmann Choir
's 1970 version of
Wallace Collection
's "Daydream", as the lead single. However, after filming the music video and taking the single to radio it suddenly transpired that another single "Daydream In Blue" by
I Monster
featuring the sample from Günter Kallmann Choir recording was also to be released at the same time causing the band to release "Broke" instead. Touring extensively and supporting
Radiohead
in August 2002, they made No. 3 on Q magazine's list of "50 Bands to See Before You Die". CD version comes in a three-panel digisleeve with a 12-page poster booklet.
