Release:
Invasion By Osmosis
Label:
Disco Gecko Recordings
The
album is due to start pre-orders on Saturday 3rd May from
http://drtrippy.bandcamp.com/ and
then will be out digitally on Monday 12th May and physically on
Friday 16th May.
All
new to me and shrouded in an air of mystery Dr Trippy landed in my
e-mail and sounded somewhat like a supervillian from a comic book.
However, it's not really the name that counts it's the musical
content and from the following blurb it sounded promising …
'Sounding
like a clash between India and Jamaica at an English festival, the
album is underpinned by the rhythms and resonance of dub, awash in
Indian vocals and fuelled by a battery of synthesisers and effect
units. Add to this several seasons in Goa, live shows at a bevvy of
festivals and the tutelage of Banco De Gaia, and you have the perfect
ingredients for an ‘Invasion by Osmosis’!
The
album opened up with 'Dr Trippy meets the Mad Professor' which took
the supervillian image away slightly and conjoured up more of secret
meeting in the dub laboratory. Despite the pedigree of the Mad
Professor (a British pioneer of Dub with his 'Dub Me Crazy' album
series of the 80's and probably best know for his dub re-work of
Massive Attacks 'Protection')
this was a fairly non-chalent track for me. But by the end of the
second track 'Cistern Chapel', Dr Trippy had began to grab my
attention and by the next track 'Let Me In I'm a Doctor' I was
hooked.
The
heady mix of old skool samples, Indian vocals and dub reggae
basslines vary from summery horn filled chuggers like 'Bollywood Boulevard' to rump-shaking dance
floor destroyers like 'Granny Takes A Trip To Hebden' with a
barrage of fx. It
transpires that Martin Corbett the man behind the mysterious shroud
of Dr Trippy is about to release a form of world domination not to be
feared but rather to be rejoiced. In short I'm loving this and can see myself playing it time and time again throughout the summer.
