Bass-heavy Dreamscapes.......2006-12-20
I love anything by Bill Laswell but this is my favorite work of his, and definitely one of my most frequently played albums. This is truly dub, but there are so many other elements going on within this music that it really surpasses explanation or categorization. It's moody and deep, and produces some incredible mindscapes. Even at its most mellow moments it is still fraught with kinetic energy, swirling into multiple climaxes. A combination of electronic music and instrumental music, the bass playing is multi-faceted. It was recorded in such an enhancing and complimentary manner that it showcases Laswell's exceptional talent on the bass guitar. He plays bass like a lead instrument. No other album has ever taken me deeper into such profound mental imagery as this one...I never tire of it.
This is Dub!.......2005-03-30
Clearly Laswell wanted to genuflect at the feet of King Tubby and Lee Perry, and he creates music that is part imitation of them and part extension of what they had done (there is at least a small amount of cross-in electronic sound). If you like King Tubby, you'll like this.
Laswell's secret weapon here is his bass. He drips fluid and funky bass parts the way Charlie Parker used to drip saxophone runs. The bass playing lifts this record up and makes it something at least a little special.
One of Laswell's best.......2002-09-06
The music on this album is a perfect blend of techno beats and Middle Eastern rhythm. You won't find a lot of variation here --- the songs are supposed to put you in a trance, so they are repetitive. Every time I listen to it, I play it over and over for hours; Laswell should have stretched it out to cover the full disc. This is as good as Laswell's RADIOAXIOM and HALLUCINATION ENGINE.
A totally superb Dub album.......2002-01-24
I've got several Laswell dub outings, sometimes he's brilliant, sometimes not, in this case the tunes really rock. One of the most played CDs in my collection.
If this is dub, I love dub.......2000-06-04
Laswell does it yet again. Reggie lovers, dub lovers, music lovers: my advise is that you at least listen to this album and chapter two. 5 stars is just the begining of a discription.
