Product Description

Unbeknownest to the London massive, deep within the English countryside lie a number of brilliant music producers. One such unfashionable but extremely talented artist is Ott, best friend of Simon Posford (aka HALLUCINOGEN) and previous editor of the Shpongle albums. Ott is a our very own country computer wizard working only at unsensible hours of the day, constantly connected to the internet, downloading every known gadget and plug in possible and communicating online with the outer world. So legendary are his skills and his massive dubs that Simon has commissioned him to do a remix album of classic Hallucinogen tracks such as Gamma Goblins, Solstice, Angelic Particles, & LSD amongst others. Ott and Simon first met at Butterfly Studios where Ott was working as a freelance engineer for Youth. Since then he has gone on to work in nearly every famous studio one could name, from SARM East and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to name a few. He is currently managed by Strongroom Management UK and has continued to work with a number of famous artists and producers in music business, including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno for which he was interviewed in Sound on Sound Magazine. So as you can see Ott is the master of ceremonies when it comes to studio equipment and production. With a spate of new material he is set to become a modern dub pioneer reshaping the already classic soundscapes of Hallucinogen's music with his studio trickery and plug-in wizardry. The timelessness of some of the tracks listed below for remix is in many cases beyond description and as such the only person deserving of remix duties is this man, Ott.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trip out with OTT, November 7, 2003

By	Christopher J Replogle (Bishop, ca United States) - See all my reviews

What can I say, this is a great album! If your a fan of dub or Psychedelic or Hallucinogen or Shpongle then you need this album. Every song on here is great and the production and engineering is superb. Ott had free reign to Simon's hard drive and has created a masterpiece of sound with Hullucinogen's songs. The tempo is a lot slower than Hallucinogen but it works perfectly. Go to http://www.backroombeats.com/flashindex.html and start the flash music player at the botom to hear songs off this album (assuming they havent changed by the time you've read this) but keep in mind the streaming audio doesnt do the sound quality of this album justice. Besides great song composition, this album is an audio engineering masterpiece (I'm a recording engineer myself), which another one of Ott's great talents, so if you get a chance do yourself a favor and listen to it with headphones. This is one of the best albums I've heard and not to be missed! Ott definatly has his own unique style and this album is a great showcase for his talents. So turn down the lights, pop this CD in your player and take a trip with Hallucinogen In Dub. This an aural experience like no other.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Dub indubitibly - WOW!, December 19, 2002

By	Kort Kramer "Art, Music, Book & Movie Enthusiast" (South Florida, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I am a huge fan of hallucinogen and shpongle so when I saw that this was being released I bit the bullet and bought it at full price.

I was not dissapointed.

These remixes of hallucinogen's songs are wonderful. They don't detract from the original versions but definately go their own way. If you like Goa/Trance then you should get everything by hallucinogen and shpongle, they are the best out there. The trippy head music builds slowly, like a story reaching a climax. While only 6 songs, the album clock in at over an hour so is plenty of ear candy here for the listener.

If you are new to hallucinogen and shpongle then I would start off with tales of the inexpressible by shpongle and the lone deranger by hallucinogen. Then you will most definately want to get this album. Enjoy the mi-loony-um!

5.0 out of 5 stars intense & beautliful, November 14, 2002

By	JONATHAN HARTZELL (charlotte, nc United States) - See all my reviews

this has to be one of the best cd's in my collection. i have been a fan of hallucinogen and shpongle for a long while now, and this cd breathes fresh life into those timeless tracks. it is essentially a collection of trip-hop & dub remixes of hallucinogen's goa/psy-trance songs by ott, an underground british producer who acted as editor on shpongle's two albums.
...in addition to this cd, i also highly recommend shpongles two albums, as well as "the lone derranger" by hallucinogen.
