Dub Trio - Exploring The Dangers Of (2004)


With their 2004 debut, New York's Dub Trio presented an almost revolutionary take on dub, incorporating a far more 'live band' feel and energy to the music. Completely ignoring the dub purists bible with its progressive sound, often cascading into distortion and ambient synths with frequently changing time signatures and a willingness to delve into any genre.Worth getting just for the ambient beauty of the almost post rock 'Casting Out The Nines.' This is a stunning piece of work.

Akron/Family - Franny And The Portal To The Fractal Universe Of Positive Vibrations.



If you've yet to hear Akron/Family's unmistakeable sound (where the hell have you been??), or you've heard a little and crave alot more; this is the album you've been after. I'm not sure exactly what this album is, but from what I've found it seems to be one of the many albums sold exclusively on tour. Quite different from the rawkus, experimental style of 'Love Is Simple', this is a far more subtle, beguiling and beautiful album. It is understated and quiet, finding a perfect balance between breath taking walls of sound and acoustic melancholia. With its far more toned down style and noticeable lack of trademark hippy lyrics this is a perfect introduction for begginners and an essential piece for completists.
