Guest Psylent Buddhi Posted July 20, 2000 Share Posted July 20, 2000 V/A - Liquid Dub 7 Artist: Various Title: Liquid Dub 7 Label: LSD Date: 1999 Track listing: 01. 14'34" Industrial Suicide Tribe : Aqua Sufi 02. 10'43" SO36 : Freedom 03. 07'14" Nomads Of Dub : Spirals 04. 09'58" Celtic Cross : Lapis 05. 08'58" Purple Om : Armageddon Dub 06. 10'07" Blue Lotus : Gaia 07. 03'27" Dub Trees : Liquid Dub Review: This is absolutely fantastic! This music is so beautiful it's hard to find words adequate enough to describe what I feel when I listen to this. Simon Posford is involved in a lot of the tracks here and his production skills are very obvious on the tracks he has co-produced! Anyway, I.S.T.'s "Aqua Sufi" is a lenghty and beautiful track, with a gorgeous melody played by a sitar! Really nice!! SO36's "Freedom" is unbelievable! Starts out beautiful with some choir and then moves into a darker mood with a haunting acidline coming out of the cutoff-filter! After that things change and the track developes into a beautiful, meditative and relaxing track with amazing rhythms. I lack the words! "Spirals" by Nomads Of Dub is also good. It's a more busy track with a very deep production, but still very beautiful! "Lapis" is a remix of "Mundis Imaginalus" which can be found on the Celtic Cross album "Hicksville". Lapis is like the original very good with some awesome rhythmic patterns! "Armageddon Dub" is very cool, again with a deep and immense production, a nice rhythm and some beautiful chants. Some people might find Blue Lotus' "Gaia" a little hard to like. It has some definite "rock" influences with some wild sequences where it seems like someone is torturing an electric guitar ! But I like it... ..."Pink Floydish"...? ...Nahh...! "Liquid Dub" by Dub Trees is very beautiful. It's really a shame it isn't any longer! It's like a small piece of psychedelic ambient. I would like to hear more like that from Dub Trees!! And to sum up everything: GET THIS NOW! This is one of those albums that's worth tracking down at all costs!

A really great Cd ambient with Dub influences (it is written on it !!!!!) 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak51 Posted November 5, 2000 Share Posted November 5, 2000 Tracks 1, 3 and 5 are excellent - note that #3 is on several other comps though. Worth picking up, even though the Gaia track is awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vOrTeXdReAm Posted November 13, 2000 Share Posted November 13, 2000 Great compilation. "Armageddon Dub" is the best tune, but all tracks are top quality creations. The only thing that disturbs me, is that the sixth track doesn't fit into this compilation. It sounds like a mixture of Chemical Brothers and FSOL's sound in their album "ISDN". Altogether, a worthy investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest civ604 Posted March 30, 2002 Share Posted March 30, 2002 Considering it like the collection of tracks it's all great, worth picking up for the vast majority of them alone. Heh, S.Posford is a name! But, imho, as the conceptual set this one isn't as good as it could be: whenever I put this on I find myself every once & again unable to follow it the places it leads to (if any) all the way. Particularly, forementioned "wrong" track #6 from Blue Lotus isn't actually as bad as it gets -- but one thing is for sure here: it totally ruins the subtle images the first three tracks tried to create. If it is put here "for a change" then it's drawback just because the change it does is by far "off the stream". Though it is hard to judge which track is the best, my choice falls here on #5 "Armageddon Dub" for being so intense & "incapsulated" it flows flawlessly till the very end independently from the mood-disorientation this comp. creates. Beyond the influence, that's it! The whole thing gets 7/10 from me, but this mark could easily be higher if not the problem I just mentioned. Also, am I right saying that this comp was released in 1999 on Liquid Sound Design what then was followed by Dragonfly release in the beginning of year two thousand? Tchankov I.V.
