yep, great album. Definitely darker than previous efforts. Check out
their newish mini-album, (about 50 + min ) Corrosion on Iris light. Dark
and captivating. A refinement of nightwork. Here is a review of it that
I wrote for gooves issue 2:
Blue
Corrosion
Iris Light (UK)
The promo sheet that comes with this CD states that the music is almost
big beat like. This is not an accurate description at all. Blue has
always been a dark band with influences from the dub world. This
mini-album (it clocks in at around 50 min) is not an exception. Blue,
unlike many electronic bands, shows an evolutionary growth on this outing.
Instances of past endeavors can be heard but they are expanded and warped
into something new. The beats are heavy with bass and assaulting even
when the tempo is slow. This is accompanied by strong ambient and
melodic arrangements. This is then coupled with dub like engineering,
which leaves the music dripping with emotion. The only musical comparison
that comes close is the recent offering by Witchman (Witchman vs. Jammin
Unit). The sound is very similar but Blue is perhaps more atmospheric.
If you liked Blue's previous releases (Resistance, Mexican Church or
Nightwork) then this is a must have.
