I’m
a tad behind on this review. However, on the off chance it passed you
by I’ll let you know my thoughts. In comparison to his recent album
release ‘Beyond the Radar’, that placed the focus mostly in a
fusion of electronica and space rock, this places the spotlight (as
the title suggests) on dub. So now we’ve established the genre of
the E.P. the burning question is it any good? In my humble opinion,
yes it is!
The
first of the four available tracks ‘Dub Skullery’ begins with
ethereal synths and industrial elements, that you would expect from
an experimental drone track. The beat slowly rises and soon after we
are fully immersed in a catchy dub track peppered with delayed spacey
fx and short passages of lead guitar. Following on ‘Shimmering
Pink’ is more laid back and melodic, with somewhat of an Ozric’s
feel to it, while Neil continues to maintain the quality and appeal
of it’s predecessor.
The
third piece ‘Frabjous Day’ is more of a slow burner, however, it
eventually reaches a similar Ozric’s feel to the dub, with more of
a rhythmic mid section and female harmonies at the tail end. The E.P.
finishes with ‘Doodlebug’ where electronic fx lead you through
some lovely laid back synths, chimes, spoken word samples and guitar.
