I can only agree with previous reviewers, this is the best dub album I've ever heard, all categories... The coolest thing is that it bridges roots dub with modern dub like no other. The great Hi-fidelity dub series, for example, does on occasions reach the level of Phase Selector Sound. At the same time this album would easily match any dub release blood&fire could possibly throw at you! These guys takes dub to the next level. The production has a fantastic old-school feel to it, with a setup that is simple yet profound. This is truly beautiful music and the album doesn't contain one single tedious moment, every track stands out against the others. Phase Selector Sound kicks off at the highest possible level and stay there throughout the entire album. There's no end to the superlatives this album merits.

This is, without a doubt, the best original dub offering I've purchased - online or off - bar none.

In the tradition of the kings of dub (like Augustus Pablo, Mad Scientist, Lee Perry, or the Professor), this album retains very strong ties to its roots (you'll hear snatches of old Upsetter tracks, along with some other nods to those old school influential artists).

At the same time, the album has a very modern feel to it, along the lines of the excellent Hi-Fidelity Dub releases (1-4). There's no question that this album is strictly roots, but the tracks all feel like they have had updating for the downbeat era.

The most shocking thing to me is that this album was released 6 years ago, and I've only discovered it in 2005! Do yourself a favour and purchase it straight away...before it goes out of print (come on...how many other products can you find that have ALL customer reviews giving it 5 out of 5 stars? ;).

I've heard a lot of dub, and I own a lot of dub, but I've got to say that this is the best dub yet, I mean the entire CD. Personally this CD is #1 in my book so far. It's worth buying at almost any price. So if you like dub this is the one for you. I can't wait to see what he put out next.

yes, indeed, phase selector sound represent the future of outernational-mothership-bass&space-dub for 3001. check in! listening to their music is like a sunny day as a unborn baby in the motherwomb. all-mighty, warm, fluent sound for your aural relaxation.

PhaseSelectorSound's debut is a journey through dub paradise. While typically soothing enough to drop any listener into a dub induced pleasure trance, it will, without warning, jerk you awake through cut, panned, tweaked, chopped, and reassembled sounds that twist the left and right brains into a dub frenzy. More work from PhaseSelectorSound is anxiously awaited.

Ideal proportion of "ridim", bass and sounds of mind and heart.

in short, phase selector sound conducts aural alchemy on "disassemble dub." from lo-fi to hi-fi, from low- to high-frequencies, these cats manage to hit on every level. in the end, they create something greater than the sum of its parts. classic material. be sure to peep their unreleased tracks on mp3.com.

Pleasant background cocktail party music with reggae/dub beats, I purchased it liking the sound bites, but there is nothing more to the album than the soundbites. Never does it get dense or goes anyplace surprising. Cover is better than music. Groups like St. Germain, or the various Parisian club mix albums, like Paris Under a Groove or Hotel Costas series are far better, and I wouldn't really recommend those either,unless you want "chill" coctail party music. Still I don't regret purchase becasue sometimes I just want a groove and to otherwise basically ignore kind of hip "muzak" while I do something else than listen, which is what I would consider this good for. I love that Summer in Paris, Hotel Costas, thing, but much prefer Orb to any of this to fill a similar need in my music. Actually, Orb can be brilliant at times. A couple maybe three Orb albums are superb. I took best tracks from three of them and made one great burned CD. Truth is for "chill" purpose,not that that expression conveys very much to me,I've never heard anything in 30 years that comes close to Discrete Music by Eno or Evening Star by Fripp and Eno. Compared to greats like those ... Well for a "chill" relaxing, after work space, they've never been touched to my knowledge. Sorry if lumping them in with this offends anybody. "Chill" never really made all that much sense to me as a label for music anyway. Sorry if this isnt' what you're looking for.

If you're a fan of Rhythm & Sound, Creation Rebel, Mad Professor, or Bill Laswell's dubbier stuff, you should like this. Really quality stuff.

Temperture High, Humidty High, Insanity on 5:o-clock news high, gas prices high, bizarre news high, sleep low, finances low, coping? Trying Too! I purchased the vinyl and cd versions. The ratings have been 5 Stars, that was my recommendation. Purchase Dub. Record to harddrive (Not PC). Burn mix for personal and friends assist to survive the times. Will it work? Did it work? I think so.
