Twilight Circus – Dub Quake
http://www.mediafire.com/?d4y1d1cj114u5u5
Did you think Ryan Moore was going to return to Studio Twilight and make a bad record? If so, “Volcanic Dub” is going to burn a hole in your woofer cones as punishment. There are so few artists capable of making contemporary roots dub without lapsing into shiny, loungy digitalia or revivalism so contrived it’s embarrassing. Before Moore’s foray into dub, it was only Jah Shaka, Mad Professor, Smith & Mighty, and Doug Wardrop who kept the roots spirit alive. When Moore left the Legendary Pink Dots recently, it was to concentrate on his sublime dub. ‘Floorshaker’ opens with rippling, metallic horns stretched to the horizon by Moore’s dazzling echo box. What he does with that instrument is wondrous, from flattening a snare like it was hit by a steamroller to pushing dripping melodica chords off the earth’s edge. If you’re even mildly interested in what good dub sounds like thirty years after King Tubby invented it at 18 Drummile Road in Kingston, this album is crucial. [TH]
