Enter Ryan Moore, the Legendary Pink Dots escapee behind Twilight Circus, who wrestles with history’s titans and leaves the ring commanding ’nuff respect. In his kaleidoscope world a feather weighs a ton, colors cut corners, and time eats itself. Dub Plates Volume Two- a vinyl-only collection of rare acetates that doubles as a greatest-versions set – should be a landmark in post hip-hop sonic engineering. “Filter 13 (Ultra Dub)” is as explosive as Krust, as sophisticated as Philip “Fatis” Burrell, and as riveting as DJ Premier. “Dance Plate”, a tribute to Black Uhuru’s 1981 depth probe “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”, splits the riddim and boggles your ear cavity. Follow the bass or follow the drum; Mama’s calling you home.
