There is more than one way to listen to Beborn Beton's ninth album InchDarkness Falls AgainInch it is possible to just dance and enjoy contemporary synth pop hymns that have a solid musical based in the golden 80s with a dash of cool 90s influences.

Yet heavy touring and the highly demanding creative output of so many excellent albums in quick succession took their toll. After the of InchTales from Another WorldInch (2002) and an exhausting US tour, Beborn Beton went on an extended hiatus. 13 years later, Beborn Beton returned with a new album on Dependent Recordings to the delight and surprise of their still huge following.
