A year after the release of their album 'Slow Cooked' the duo from down under have finally announced the release of the re-mixes from that album on Dubmission Records.
The
starter for this five course meal is Mislead Convoy's Luminosity
re-mix of 'Shine' which takes the track down the darker corridors of
dub and although there are slightly different themes within the track, for me it loses the soul and vibrancy of the original.
The
bpm's drop with Nahuati Jaguar's take of 'Kaos' an atmospheric piece
where percussively at times the odd drum & bass rolls are
injected. However, once again it's not really grabbing me.
Numatica
take on 'Submerge' is an interesting combination of classical
stringed ska with slower passages of acoustic fused reggae. I found
this quite an original sound and it was pleasing to the ear.
Meeting
by Chance's re-mix of 'Kryptology' balances this traditional sounding
melodica laden dub with a slow paced yet pounding beat that would
have worked well on a Roman war galley.
'100
Ire' prepared by E.R.S. who wastes little time in releasing the
groove overlaid with hypnotic keys and fx that balance nicely with
the vocal reggae snippets. This is definitely the most upbeat track
of the e.p. and works well enough for me.
Overall
this isn't a bad e.p. but on the whole it doesn't offer too much that
grabs me over the original. The biggest disappointment for me was the
exclusion of 'Snake Oil' which was my favourite on the album.
