Dub Architect - Dub Volume 1
Reviewed by Sadie O., 9/13/13
Mostly roots-style electronic dub Reggae. Producer from DC, remixing tracks by Rebelution, Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, etc. I think that makes these dub remixes of dub tracks, so they’re pretty dadburned dubby. Vocal bits mostly processed into unrecognizability. Smoke this!
1. 3:44 ***chirpy, jaunty little dub bubble, with grunty bits.
2. 4:41 ***slow one-drop with blues harmonica. Sparce, groovy.
3. 5:12 **minimalist downtempo one-drop, quavery.
4. 5:43 ***very slow, ethereal, with wafting chorale sounds and lots of percussion, and a bit of melodica. Nice.
5. 7:13 ***relaxed yet upbeat with reverby percussion, lots of bass going on in the background. Fades out and back in 2 minutes from end. Cosmic spoken word ending.
6. 4:30 ***squeebles and randomosity intro, then utterly jolly uptempo bassline surrounded by layers of dubbystuff. Fades out quite early.
7. 4:52 ****downtempo bubble, bits of sitar, piano, squoinks.
8. 3:26 ***echo-y recording of MLK famous speech with bits of beats, then mostly bass and drum, sparse.
