Dean Zimmerman began his one-man project of experimental, computer pop in early 2000 when he took the moniker of Deanthebean. By combining the instrumentation of guitar, bass, keyboards, samples, and additional computer noises that were recorded on his home PC, Zimmerman's alter ego resembled more of a stripped down Moby without the politics and multi-commercial licensing. All of this was eventually captured on his self-produced, self-released debut album, Gimmedat, in 2001. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide
