Dark Arts Of Dub EP review in Drum Media
Drum Media (Sydney), week ending 30 June 2007
Victor Xray
The Dead Walk/Dark Acts Of Dub
Transcom
A miminal languid beat augmented with unhurried keyboard lines: this release certainly does what it says on the box.
The Dead Walk is an appropriately hypnotic opener; Bellweather Beaten skitters very non-dub percussion lines over a track that sounds more like casio R&B; Dark Arts Of Dub is crying out to be used as closing credits music for a bleak, low budget horror film (take note potential publishers) and the closing Dub Forever International is a slow-building dub pulse. It's hard to think of a better recent piece of bedroom electronica.
