Experimental Dub Masterpiece

"This is the first(I think?) solo album from Once11, who is/was a member of the Brooklyn Illbient trio WE (tm), and is now based in Spain. This album is pretty dubby all the way thru (unlike WE who did some ambient stuff and some hectic jungle type stuff as well as dub). There are some great heavy tracks. The first track opens with a fat beat that turns inside out, and that kinda feeling conyinues thru the album. I've heard this album referred to as 'Zero Gravity Dub', and it definitely gives you a feeling of floating in space (even though the beats and sounds are pretty heavy).
There are no real standout tracks because its all pretty solid, but my choice is definitely 'Worm Mini Hiniekens' (which is pretty reminiscient of WE's slower stuff). The bass is mondo heavy thoughout.
A good thing about this album is that you can sit and stare at the wall listening to it and be totally entertained, but it is also good conversation background stuff.Originally this came out as two 12 inch records but has been rereleased as a CD by theAgriculture records (check their website theagriculture.com for more interesting music and to hear audio from this album)The sound is very digital yet not cold, and it gives you an idea of how dub has influenced most genres of electronica. A lot of different genres are 'implied' in Once11's dub riddms.I am giving this CD a strong recommendation to any curious WE (tm) fans as well as everyone else. Its perfecto music for driving late at night or chillin in your backyard with some mates in the afternoon.
If you are into experimental electronica, downtempo, instrumental hip-hop, smokin' dub or 'head' music you should check this album. It is a keeper.BTW. Have WE(tm) broken up?"
