5.0 out of 5 stars
sweet late night dub heat, November 19, 2007
I read about this band years ago in some indie music mag and finally found this disc used at a local cd shop recently. I can't say a single track disappointed. I don't know much about this band and like the mysterious group, Southpacific, this looks to be Monaural's only release. This is a really nicely produced set of tracks with a consistent, smokey, instrumental dub sound throughout. Kind of a hybrid of live and electronic instrumentation, this album is reminiscent of a more dubby Tortoise, similar to the first Tortoise release, but more adventurous perhaps, at one point, breaking out into a very original sounding drum n' bass workout, only to land on its feet again and proceed with the mid-tempo pacing again. This is in no way generic or vacant sounding like some chill-out/dub music can be. There's a lot of heart and soul throughout, from start to finish. A highly reccomended rarity!
