Dubblestandard: In Dub

In Dub

To woman in Dub - what no Dub-Album was - sets Dubble standard with In Dub (Echo Beach) now a genuine, single origin Dub-Work before. It essentially consists of the “Woman in Dub“Rhythm material, as well as a few tracks from older works, such as z. B. Marijuana Dreams and Return from Planet Dub. Two thirds of the Dubs are penned by Paul Zasky and Robbie Ost, who are both the hard core of Dubform blestandart. Four other tracks were mixed by Adrian Sherwood and one remixed by Rob Smith. Overall a solid package of good rhythms, in classic fashion too Dubs shaped. The ladies' vocals are reduced to isolated fragments, annoying sound gimmicks have largely been dispensed with and the neatly balanced old-school mix lets the rhythms flow freely and unfold. Old master Adrian Sherwood also delivers solid craftsmanship. Only Rob Smith beats with his remix of Holding You Close break new ground in the direction of club music. In fact, I would have wished for more of it - a few fresh ideas couldn't have hurt - but on the other hand I definitely don't want to badmouth a classically beautiful album. The constant hunt for innovations only causes stress anyway. So we are happy about the typical, always slightly reminiscent of On-U-Sound Dubblestandart sound (without disturbing vocals ;-) and about unexcited, old-school ones Dub-Mixes.
Rating 4 stars
