Must have dub :)

"Bill Laswell and a load of friends kick out some spacey dub, thick in the groove and thicker in the bass. Drop in lots of kicky samples and general madness ensues. Oh, my, but these songs take their time. A gorgeous, languid feel pervades the songs. No hurry to get anywhere, no worries at all. Just some beautiful, low down funk. Yeah, and you gotta love the space invaders concept (from artwork to the sampled subjects). Goofy and entrancing. A real dirty, fried chicken sound from the production. Lots of crackles and pops, a lot of everything. Meandering in a cool stew. Oh, yeah, this is on the edge of comprehension. But the sound is so deep, there's always something new to discover. Just trip along into the groove and see where your mind ends up..."

Dub meets Psychedelia in the Twilight Zone of madness...

"Another astonishing, outerworldly project conducted by Mr. Bill Laswell, the Growling Master of heavy-throbbing bass-earthquakes. Joined here by masters like Dr. Israel, Spectre and Ted Parsons, Laswell commands, with a incredible blend of looseness and precision, a scary, earth-shattering army of bass and dub terrorists that conjures a psychotic, mind-melting, thundering storm of monstrous, scorching low frequencies dub emissions, combined with some really eerie spaced-out sounds, samples of found voices and God-knows-what-else the spellbinding creativity of that gang of loonies could create!"
