lovely dub music!
Lovely! Yeah, I can agree with that. But Rosamunde Pilcher is also something like "lovely" for many people.
It's too "lovely" for me. I vaguely remembered that it was
"DubTapes” already had a few predecessors and so I had to look again at what I wrote and what I felt in “Volume One”.
"New York meets Japan meets California meets Israel, and yet it still sounds like a unified whole." No! I didn't write that, and I didn't feel that way either. Those were the words of gtk in his review of "Vol. One."
"But I find it flabby. The riddims seem tired and powerless to me. Although I'm not entirely sure whether I'm just describing my own condition..." A little later, I wrote, "...the rhythm guitar and the riddim keyboard don't really dare to pluck the strings or really hit the keys. It seems far too timid to me." That would have easily passed the soft-soaping censors at MTV Unplugged. And I wasn't the only one whose "Dubwishes" were disappointed on a broad level, or across the board, so to speak. "The lack of "sparkling" and clever DubThe effects make it even more difficult for me." All these thoughts came back to me when I listened to Volume 6. So, for me, nothing has changed. There hasn't been any development that would have counteracted it, but hey, that doesn't matter as long as there are people who find it "lovely."
New York, Japan, California, Israel………… well, it is quite obvious to me why the Dubs have become flabby. Jamaica is a must, otherwise I'll lack the necessary energy to bend space and time so that I'm "attracted." Perhaps the path from "super natural sound" to "super natural food" isn't very far. For me, both are far too "healthy."
