Producers: Tim Simenon, Doug Wimbish, Keith LeBlanc.Recorded at Eastcote Studios, London, England.Tim Simenon's third record, CLEAR, is a stylistic hodgepodge that covers a lot of ground in a relatively short (49 minutes) span of time. Greatly altered from the U.K. version of the record, the U.S. one--which excises one track, "5ml Barrel," and provides alternate versions of three other tracks, including the amazing "Bug Powder Dust"--is a more stately affair that goes places that others in the trip-hop field rarely, if ever, venture. Incidentally, the U.K. version is different enough to warrant seeking out. Starting from a fairly laid-back vibe, Simenon infuses everything--from the reggae "Dark Heart," the near-ambient "One to One Religion," and the almost '70s adult contemporary of "Sandcastles"--with occasionally wiggly house beats, snatches of jazz, and a handful of genuinely odd sound effects. The standout track is "Bug Powder Dust," the second of Justin Warfield's guest raps (the first is "Brain Dead"). The track is a tripped-out (way out!), bass-driven collision between street rap and ambient with Warfield taking ideas from William Burroughs' NAKED LUNCH (note the album's similarity to the poster of the film version of that novel) and dropping more pop culture references than you can shake a stick at.

Reviews  Bomb the Bass Very Leftfield-esqueReview created: 09/07/08 by:  This album has both Bug Powder Dust (as sampled by The Prodigy on The Dirtchamber Session Vol 1) and Empire featuring Sinead O'Connor, both are excellent tracks, however I feel the rest of the album a little dated and very 1990s The album has a very Leftfield or early Chemical Brothers feeling to it so it you like those guys you'll probably enjoy this too! Worth buying just for the two tracks I've mentioned if nothing else!!! Review ID: 10000000007900240 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Bomb The Bass - bug powder dustClassic piece of work. One of those tunes I've been meaning to buy for years but never quite got around to it. Probably paid a wee bit more than I would've liked but it as worth it to relive some great memories. almb Review ID: 10000000004809762 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
