SOME PRESS REACTIONS:

>TWILIGHT CIRCUS DUB SOUND SYSTEM "Volcanic Dub"
>(M Records, The Netherlands)
>Did you think Ryan Moore was going to return to Studio Twilight
>and make a bad record? If so, "Volcanic Dub" is going to burn a
>hole in your woofer cones as punishment. There are so few artists
>capable of making contemporary roots dub without lapsing into
>shiny, loungy digitalia or revivalism so contrived it's
>embarrassing. Before Moore's foray into dub, it was only Jah
>Shaka, Mad Professor, Smith & Mighty, and Doug Wardrop who kept
>the roots spirit alive. When Moore left the Legendary Pink Dots
>recently, it was to concentrate on his sublime dub. 'Floorshaker'
>opens with rippling, metallic horns stretched to the horizon by
>Moore's dazzling echo box. What he does with that instrument is
>wondrous, from flattening a snare like it was hit by a steamroller
>to pushing dripping melodica chords off the earth's edge. If
>you're even mildly interested in what good dub sounds like thirty
>years after King Tubby invented it at 18 Drummile Road in
>Kingston, this album is crucial. [TH]

VOLCANIC DUB
Steve Barker - The Wire
'This is as good as newly created dub gets these days..'
VOLCANIC DUB
David Dacks - Exclaim
'Ryan Moore keeps coming forth with the best contemporary dub...
Moore's songwriting and recording technique remains superior to
anyone working in dub today;
the musical content will offer you pleasure far beyond the dub treatments..
Another fine record that will sound just as good in 20 years!'
