3.0 out of 5 stars
Bliss out if you want, but only one track is essential.,
By Sambson (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dub Terror Exhaust (Audio CD)
This is a Bill Laswell album, one of his numerous projects; this one under the name Automaton (hence the confusion with the Seattle band). The group for this one involves: Bill Laswell - bass, producer / Sly Dunbar - drum programmer / Gabe Katz - bass (#2,4) / DJ Spooky - scratches (#3). This set is even more sparse than most of his stuff! We're talking about the bare minimum of elements to create a 'song'. Mostly it's just a deep bassline and a minimal drum part; usually in a Reggae-style. There's a few voices drifting by, and an ambient 'swoosh' or 'bleep', but most of this is just a groove with minor Dub production effects on the drums. Even his work for ROIR is more complex than this. The exception is the quite beautiful Drum & Bass-styled third track, which doesn't have more elements; just more interesting ones. This album works great for blissing out, but I prefer the other Automaton album titled, "Jihad Points of Order". It's two 23 minute pieces that are more satisfying and approach Eno-esque atmospheres.
