Synopsis

Album Description
Dub from the Secret Vaults is Twilight Circus' 11th full-length album and first to be released by a US label. Needless to say, ROIR, who has always dedicated itself to promoting the world's best dub, is honored to release this album. In fact, it's a wonder we didn't do this earlier. Dub from the Secret Vaults is a compendium of unreleased material from TCD's entire existence--selected, updated, and/or composed especially for ROIR by Twilight Circus. But Ryan Moore explains it best:
Years ago I collected numerous releases from ROIR during their early cassette-only days. I can recall eagerly awaiting the next mail order delivery containing various musical treats: dub, reggae & otherwise. It is now with a sense of this history that I have prepared this new Twilight Circus album for ROIR. All the material has never before been heard outside the secret dub laboratory. The tracks span all the various eras of Twilight Circus up to the present & even include some early dub experiments recorded on cassette almost 20 years ago! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it! Keep on dubbing, --RM - Jan, 2004. Along with Bill Laswell, Mad Professor, Skiz Fernando, Kevin Martin, Style Scott and Adrian Sherwood, Ryan Moore is one of the few contemporary artists to continue to create vital and innovative dub.

CD Reviews

As good as dub gets
cassdog | Gainesville, Fl USA | 10/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have several Twilight Circus albums and my old favorite used to be volcano dub but this album even betters that. One thing I like about Twilight Circus is that it is very similar in sound to the original dub, minimizing the newer electronic tools that is so common in modern dub. Upon listening to Volcano Dub I began to think that this man was approaching the masters (tubby, perry, mad professor) but I can honestly say that Dub From the Secret Vaults is better than anything those greats has ever done. In my mind this is the best dub album I have heard. A must purchase. Great variety from faster, loud, noisy songs to mellow lovemaking tunes."

"Remove all doubts. This is top-notch heavy dub.
Take it from a guy (me) who is brutal when it comes
to programming-out weak or vocal-ruined tracks...this CD needs no
programming. It is A+ all the way. Clean heavy dub,
no distracting vocals (the opening snippet from Big Youth
doesn't detract, it's just a few seconds). This is tasty
soulful dub, heavy & rootsy, with feeling, and gives your sub-woofer something to do...
SO if you had any doubts about purchasing this,
REMOVE ALL DOUBTS. It's even better than Twilight Circus's
Volcanic Dub."
