Atone: Atonement
Zonar Records (Australia)
Another neo-dub-based sound. Where NUF is dubby with a lot of space
this is dubby choc-a-bloc full of different sounds. From ambient dub
to trip hop to electro, there's always that characteristic echoey
sense of DUB. Nice use of melody which I enjoy. Surprisingly no
d-n-b here. I would compare this to Blue but more electic and upbeat
or like Two Lone Swordsman should have been.
BTW I fully agree with Scooper's comments about NUF: Golden Star ---
it really puts SquarePusher to shame (in my book).
Another really unmentioned d-n-b act is the Max Rebo Band --- again
from down under but don't take my word for it now. I'll check and
report back. The CD is ace though.
On Now: Handle With Care --- the first cut sounds like a cd-rom
track! Ouch.
