Groovy, that bass moves in who knows what direction. Cool play all around i still am unsure of what makes a Dub song though. Oh well. Good work.

A dub track , originally, meant a B side take of a reggae single that has been stripped of vocals and remastered by the studio engineer using copious amounts of effects. These takes are often over dubbed sessions where the producer 'tweaks' the effects knobs for each individual track to make a much more spacious and often ethereal mix.

bless! :D

Nice and dubby! Love those deep frappping basses especially dancing alongside those keyboard beats with definite roots in reggae dub sensibility. Sweet tasty treat here!

I like it - definitely sounds like dub 2 me! Loads of reverbs and echoes & delay. A very experimental music form as pioneered by Tubby et al. Worthy of more reviews this one!

I have been listening 2 dub reggae ever since I went 2 my cousins apartment in Amsterdam in 1992,I was 22 and we smoked de big spliff listening 2 THE SCIENTIST 1979-82 SPACE INVADERS---DUB LANDING. That stuff 2 this day gives me happy memories of my experimental youth.

THANX mon! I'm beginning to feel like this song has gotten more positive feedback than any! I'm actually inspired now to go back and look at this track, analyze it's composition and do some variations on a theme. It was pretty damn complex in it's structures etc. I can't even begin to go into how the drumlines were spliced and re-spliced. But I'll get in there and figure it out. Thanx bruv.

nice!! this has such a chilled ambient feel to it!! i think the slow buulding piano stab pad in the background is at just the right level and adds a new dimention to this song! Its not a familar beat so im not sure what genre this would be! i mean its not D&B, and im not sure about the conventions of glitch so i couldnt say on that one! The clicky sounding beat adds a nice level of vareity as well, and so does the hi hat/cymbal. How did you do this drumbeat? nice work man!! check out my new track "Sunset Mix" sometime? i need some feedback sometime :D keep it up! -Lorin (Dj Somnium)

That beat came outta some seriously wacked warping and re-mapping. I think I started with a RnB style riddim sped way up. Created a midi instrument with the beat by re-slicing in Ableton and then warping the loop lengths and compression amounts of each slice. I'll have to reopen the original file to get a clearer description for you, but it was quite complex the remapping.

I'm pretty sure the entire thing came outta 2-3 resampled beat lines and a synth chord. It was a test in creative layering. Glad you liked it. Thanx for the review mek!

I like it when people go outside the boundaries in arragements, I'm to square a lot of time in my music, this shows what amazing soundscape you can create when you dare, sometimes it does not work, but here it does, great production and sound helps, this has it all, good job.

Cool sounds. I don't like that metallic perc sound in the intro, i think you could replace it with something a little more solid sounding if that makes sense, maybe a wood percussion sound.

Great Track!

Written, I like that. Never thought of it that way before and truth be told, it's a perfect label for it.
Maybe, I'm confussing Glitch with Off-beat, but this isn't making me think glitch. It's crazy, yes, but it's too mechanically organized to be Glitch, I think.
That said, I love the order you've given this. It's almost like peering inside of a really big machine and watching all of the mechanisms running. Gears spinning, lights blinking, and all that.
Ok, I stand somewhat corrected, the bass sounding beats (?) are uber Glitch. As if some part of the machine is on the verge of breaking down.
Aww man, I had a really great idea. Shoot this in to the Terminator:Chronicles of Sarah Connor show. I'm thinkin they'd love it, because I could totally see this being played for something like that. Later on mate!

That's interesting there. I liked your werds DV. Amazingly this track has somehow gotten recognition for it's originality and complexity. It was quite an experiment all the way through, but it turned out to be something quite listenable I believe. thanks for the review Donny.
