Two superb, dark, signature dubs with unlikely shoots of upful disco and smack-bottom electro naughtiness.
Originally released in 1993 on Planet E.
Two masterful reworks of classic Carl Craig, first released on the Planet E imprint in 1994 and 2001.
Almighty dubs of Iām Your Brother ā Round One, on Main Street.
Q-Loop proper ā fourteen minutes of mesmerising, dread minimalism ā and the vinyl debuts of Q1.2 and Mutism.
The very first Basic Channel.
A quarter of an hour of Enforcement, plus a Jeff Mills remix, and an ameliorative dub.
Still thrillingly no-prisoners and 100% unmissable.
‘The Dark Of The Psychic Unknown’.
‘Psychological Drama’.
You can hear their stage experience in ‘the sizzle and swing of the percussive highlights here, programmed with a serious depth and wriggle that reflect both an extension of and return to form. Considerations of the machine-human interface, neurological realities and physical probabilities dominate. But these tracks are economical and precise, glittering with emotional depth and cinematic effects. The album’s core, a three-act movement of symphonic uncertainty and revelation, marks one of the pair’s most evocative compositions in a career full of them.’
The Basic Channel maestro takes on Konono. So brawling and bad-minded, dense and intense, and musically expert, it amounts to a ritual humiliation of the genre Dub Techno.
