Jammin' Unit "Deaf, Dub and Blind" (Instinct)
32 in the shade / handbagdub / thirst at dawn / blind television
thirst at dawn / the story of...4 E's undead mix / stomach trouble dub
dub is in the air / deaf, dub and blind featuring Terrible
the story of brad wilson... / life on the balkon / over the jordan
lots of marijuana / the remoteman (bonus CD track)
I also want to do a little dance for this nice little number that arrived
in my mailbox today.... Jammin' Unit's "Deaf, Dub and Blind" released
through Instinct Electronica. Reminds me a bit of the oldish circa 1994
bleeps and blorps. Unlike a lot of the present day heavy drum'n bass
records and techno releases, I find this record to be light, late hazy
listening.... 14 tracks including last year's "Handbagdub" (though
mildy tweaked up) from Macro Dub Infection 2 (shock... horror!). I'd love
to describe this warm, soothing release... grrr.... it's a record of
blorps, brainless yet hardly elementary gummy popcorn jams. Highlights
include "blind television," spunky dub beats with soft melodies that creep
closer as the track progresses.... very soothing. Also, try listening to
Terrible's undecipherable babblings on "Deaf, Dub and Blind" without
smirking. It's pretty goofy. In all, I'd say Jammin' Unit's solo creation
(outside of Air Liquide that is) is a very solid, admirable release. Buy
it blind.... 8/10
