| [1] "Quique" by Seefeel on Chrysalis is a beautiful disc full of loops that sound organic. Dates from 1993. | |
| [2] "Arbeiten" on S Press Tapes by co-founder of S-Press, Nicolas Einhorn is an excellent example of a label way ahead of its time. Looping and transmogrifying language as it molds and alters through the chanty repetition our experience of the word 'arbeiten' or 'working' changes as it subtly evolve . Even though this tape dates from 1973 it sounds very up to date or at least as a great link between the early 20th century sound poets and the early 21st century sound poetry and it seems that S Press is still around at http://www.txt.de/spress/ | |
| [3] "Cidar" a burned CD from a DAT-only release. No info. Left behind at my radio station. It reinforces my notion that much of Rapoon and ZF have been incorrectly classified as industrial. There is very little banging on metal or any hint of messianic post-ind. Dystoipia. Instead, I hear an attempt to talk to the [scarred] earth. I hear communications with other planets, using the Scottish and lonely hillsides as a visual-sonic convergence. I have had many 'organic' emotions arise from listening to their material. I do not feel the estrangement [and possible anger] that is indicative of much industrial music nor do I feel the cyber-gaga-enthusiasm of sci-fi as a religion of hope. I hear an attempt to open up the music of other corners of the world and attempt to take soundings from them by stretching and distending these sounds. | |
| [4] "Endless" on Blast First / Mute is 2 members of Pan Sonic and Alan Vega from Suicide. I like this kind of cross-generational and genre-bonding. Suicide was the best of the late 70s minimalist 'punk' bands. Drone, blasé lyrics, doom/gloom and drone and hree retooled by late 90s noisesmiths, Pan Sonic. Interesting results which treads the line between minimalism, noise tidal waves and almost self-mocking bathos from Alan Vega. | |
| [5] "Dragon Disc" vinyl with Etherealites, Astral Engineering and Replicant. Morphing dub. Contact Dubmission dubmission@btinternet.com | |
| [6] "More Bass Than Space" is the next compilation of stretchy elegant post-dub material meticulously chosen by the Dubmission dubmission@btinternet.comcrew. And these are some of the cuts included on this vinyl prelease. | |
| [7] "Mystical Things" by UK heavyweights Alpha & Omega. New songs by John and Christine and some animated throbbing wicked dub plate versions of classic tracks. ON BSI, that great west coast of US dub label. Some vocal material altho not too cliched or annoying - 'emphasis on dubbed, delayed, frayed and hauntingly distorted lyrics.' REfined muscle - they have one of the best sounds of beats in dub. The roots and the outer space or spiritual aspects are interestingly interwoven and keep one another in check so that it is not too cloyingly rootsy or too coldly technological. BSI www.bsi-records.com | |
| [8] "Dubbed on Planet Skank" on Dubmission dubmission@btinternet.com includes some great stuff including this. This is material which hybridizes anything that comes in its path - water, ether, electronix, beats, message, roots so that it all gets liquified into some bio-electrical amniotic inflammable material. Includes Doof,, zion Train vs Sounds from the Ground, Dubolition, Lithium6 and Alpha & Omega | |
| [9] As I heard it from guest dj, Jasper, he asked Adrian Sherwood for a piece and Adrian offered this but said it was by Dub Syndicate. The only thing handstamped on the white label 45 is 'Etherealities / Dub Syndicate' and handwritten 'dubm0004'. But later it turns out to be an old Singers & Players track and is here further beautified [carved even deeper] by Assassin. Mysterious, beautiful and has the feel of a relic and yet it sounds every bit as modern [timeless] as anything out today. This also appears on the new compilation, "More Bass Than Space". | |
| [10] "The End" on Word Sound www.wordsound.com is yet another chapter in that deep dark and dreary dub that flirts with millennium-fever and the coming apocalypse. If you can just tune out some of the insipid doomsday blather you are in for some incredible sound. The sound is on the edge of meltdown like Laswell in a jacuzzi filled with pig blood. It is pure comic book end of the world scenarios however with some nasty insane fun cookie pus type rapping. It can't be that they really believe in this end o the woild stuff cuz this record is late 1999 and they put it out for the 21st century and here I am listening to it. Get the irony? But then again if you live in the ugly surroundings of daily grunge grime grease of Lower NY or Williamsburgh it is bound the discolor your world view - it is figgin glooooomy. Gimme the dub versions! Much brilliance mixed with immature prophecy whereby all the political malfeasance going on gets shoved into Scriptural cause. It is worth sorting out because this bunch out there at the edge of the world called brooklyn is one of THE most profoundly happening labels in NYC, let alone the USA. | |
| [11] "In Search of the Surface Noise" on Sprawl Imprint douglas@benfo.deomn.co.uk Is an excellent example of how technological music can become emotional and even evocative of contemporary angst or whatever. Very trancey the faster it goes the more you're left with a wide variety of emotions and gut reactions. Not dub nor jaz-tronica nor drum & bass nor acid nor tech house - it forges new ways to get into your ear. | |
