4.0 out of 5 stars Supersoul Stylin', May 25, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: RUOK in Dub (Audio CD)

RUOK- remixed, redefined, redone. If you like RUOK this is another great installment on the MBM catalog. If you have a surround sound system, look into the DVD as well. Music in a synthetic form never sounded so good. If you like the Manifesto and Mr. Dangers himself this disc is not to be overlooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars mbm at its best, July 1, 2005

This review is from: RUOK in Dub (Audio CD)

Like someone already said, I don't understand the "pure dub" (whatever that means) compliance requirements for an mbm album. This is sort of like complaining that Throbbing Gristle's "20 funk jazz greats" album is not jazzy or funky enough.
For some dub stuff i recommend Bill Laswell - he has 5-6 new albums every year and they all are guaranteed to sound the same.

This is one of my favorite MBM albums - along with subliminal sandwich. It took me a while to get into it though - I got it around christmas time and I didn't really play it that much until maybe a couple of months ago. Nowadays I spin thru it 3-4 times a week. It is bass- and rhythm-heavy (I guess that doesn;t necessarily say much since all mbm is)...it has the samples of Ukranian engineers talking about montages of sound objects (this actually carried over from r u ok), it has a jamaican-sounding dude similar to that on subliminal sandwich.

Anyway, it is a great album and I do recommend it to those who already own RUOK. It is the whole different deal.

This review is from: RUOK in Dub (Audio CD)

I have been listening to the sound of Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) evolve over the course of many years now. To see his production skill and technique getting fine tuned and progressing to the point of proving he is not just a pioneer of the electronic breakbeat but a practicing teacher of professional magnitude in the field of frequency modulation. There is extremely valuable information in this music. With that said, here is my take on MBM's In Dub...

I must start out by addressing that In Dubs roots are tied to the previous album RUOK?. RUOK explored sub bass realms that only a quality home or car stereo with accurate bass response could realize with this albums sonic potential. I say that because once I heard RUOK on a good system you could really "feel" the difference and attention to detail in the music. 'In Dub' is an evolved logical progression of RUOK with even better production & tighter mixdown. This is true electronic dub that keeps the listener enveloped in an twilight zoned out transmission from space, beyond this time and place. Sonically amazing in it's multi layered audio array of carefully chosen sounds. The 5.1 surround DVD version takes the experience to another level placing the listener directly inside the heart beat of the music. The visuals by Ben Stokes will twist your perspective into viewing your situation from obscure angles triggering keys into subliminal locks to open new doors of perception. Definitely worth a whirl for every psyche like minded boy and girl !
