dadub - ∆ (2011)



9.4

/Dub, Ambient, Ambient dub, Crossover, Dubstep, Soundscapes/

Comment: this 3-track issue produced by Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti consists of lengthy progressions at the length of 7-8 minutes where very wide panoramas grow out to bemixed up with catchy but a little bit haunting dub oscillations, however, thus constituting a mesmerizing outlet full of gliding charm and magic dust. The last track remixed by Arogalla sounds like a tribute to a melodica and dub wizard, Augustus Pablo (by the way, yesterday I was listening to an album, called Vanishing Point (1997), the favourite of mine regarding the production of Scottish acid rockers Primal Scream at which the Jamaican musician was also participant once. And kudos to Bobby Gillespie who besides making great music also fights for right subjects in the world). In a word, it is like the flight of the bluebird whom you are not able to catch.
