I really dig a lot of Cristian Vogel's releases. I
can't wait to find this in the shops! Anyone heard the
new Meteorites "Dub The Mighty Dragon" release on Rise
Robots Rise?
Here's a review
Cristian Vogel has surprised and freaked us out over
the years, always pushing the boundries forward and
messing with our expectations - something that is very
much at play on this Vogel produced pop project. The
11 tracks spread right across the board from the daft
and almost Pitman-esque `Milkman' (lyrics pondering
the subject Milkmen while ragga-esque shuffles strut
underneath), to the funk punk powerpop of `Don't Wait'
with its speeded up ESG style bassline and fast drums
supplementing the lyrics and croonings of the two
vocalists. `Number One' is one of the strongest tracks
with a and brassy Ragga riddim doing the 2-step thing
with a stepping dub bassline, a real groove for the
feet. Also `Dracula' holds some humourous moments, the
life of a Vampire described over a doped up hip hop
groove that rocks away, and the heavy acid bassline of
'Mechanic' which is probably my favourite track due to
its robotic motor movement and ace bassline. It's
Vogel's production, though, that really shines here,
once again building the crisp intricacy into something
altogether more spannered. Check.
