Full
Moon Skank is a fresh new E.P. from Manfred a Himalayas based artist
releasing material under the pseudonym E.R.S. The E.P. is available
generally through Dubmission Records from the 18th of
December (a tad late on this one).
The
E.P. opens with 'Justice and Equal Rights' where the reggae keys are
a constant underbelly to the intricate riddims, where the percussion
rolls and at time explodes. In the latter section the vocal cuts,
horns and twisted loops all come together making the cohesive whole a
strong opening track indeed. The mood becomes slower and heavier with
'Hear and Now' and although the intricate and well panned percussion
remains the low frequency bass is employed flirting with Dub-Step in
a reggae stylee.
The
following two tracks are more mellow 'E.T. Existence' employs Sci-Fi
samples as you've probably ascertained from the title and the keys
are pleasing to the ear. The title track however, puzzles me
somewhat. There's nothing wrong with it the intricate percussion
remains and the samples are fine. However, it lacks the dynamics of
some of the other tracks so seems to me a strange choice for the
title track. The E.P. comes to a close with 'Massive in Funk' which
restores the dynamics of the first two pieces with some additional
funky vocal cuts that work a treat.
