[Review] Brain Damage – “Talk the talk” (Jarring Effects)

[Review] Brain Damage – “Talk the talk” (Jarring Effects)

After the “Walk The Walk” LP (http://dubmassive.org/en/11781/brain-damage-walk-the-walk) the time for a dub versions hase come. The whole concept of Brain Damage regarding this release and his cooperation with legendary Jamaican singers is something bigger than “ordinary” album. In addition to music we also get video series: http://dubmassive.org/en/12959/walk-walk-webserie-brain-damage-wasaru, and the LP presented here is a brilliant complement to this extraordinary story.

Music on this album is the essence of contemplative dub – echoes and reverbs over a simple, but rich sounds, mixed with peculiar dub poetry – as the vocal part is made of talks, stories from life of Jamaican legends – Horace Andy, Willi Williams, Winston McAnuff, Kiddus I, Ras Michael, Sam Clayton Jr, Stephen Stewart and Mc Father Wee Pow. All of this Martin prepared in a legendary Jamaican studio – Harry J Studio. What’s interesting – as he is writing – it’s a little bit ironical that being so recognizable on the dub scene for so many years, he feels like this release is his first, true dub album.

A wonderful album for careful, contemplative listening.

[Review] Dub Invaders vol. 3 part 2 (Jarring Efects)

[Review] Dub Invaders vol. 3 part 2 (Jarring Efects)

Dub-Invaders-photoIn March we were writing about the first part of the 3rd release (http://dubmassive.org/en/12317/dub-invaders-vol-3-part-1-aku-fen-feat-omar-perry-twelve-feat-doubla-j) from French crew Dub Invaders; now the time for the part 2 has come! Dub Invaders consist of members of High Tone band – if this name is familiar to you, then you know that their music has no borders and limits. With the trademark of a musical vision fueled by endless creativity, you never knows what sounds will reach your ears and test your speakers.

Keeping in mind the above, I will not try define the genre of “Boom Sound” by Roots’N Future Hi-Fi with Isiah Mentor on the vocals. This tune is 100%, totally, completely and maximally MAD. Sharp synths will drill your ears, digital flavour rhythm will start your body bouncing, steppa drums and wild basslines will try to crush the walls in your room, while Isiah’s vocals will increase your desire to teleport immediately into the epicentre of a soundsystem session.

On the B side we get Troy Berkley (Fogata Sounds, OBF, L’Entourloop) on the vocals and the riddim made by Led Piperz. He’s easily switching between rapping and singing, as the riddim changes – really lots of things happen in this electro-style dub. The same is with the second track on this side, where Hatboy Harry flows on a pounding electronic riddim.

Dub Invaders knocked me out with their music once again but please – don’t stop doing this.
