rastabomba reviews

Standout track from Timeblind remixed by Kid 606, Kit Clayton, DJ Rupture and Timeblind himself!! 'Most Eye' offers bo' blastin' remixes of 'Rastabomba' the mystical exercise in righteous reggaefied breakbeat-glitch-electronica that kicked off top bloke Chris Sattinger's mighty 'Rugged Redemption' long player. The cut with the unforgettable Jamaican patois vocalisms giving praise to the wonders of 'solar power' and warnings of the evils of globalisation. So kinda hard to imagine this cut being equalled, never mind bettered, I hear you think! Anyhow bring on the remixes, Kid 606 who on 'The Ladies Rmx' rides waves of edgy dub vibration before adding tempered buzzdistorto funk pressure, ragga stylee. Pure. Kit Clayton wrecks with a class r&b glitch stomp, dirty. Chris Timeblind explodes on the 'Pwana Frenzy' mix, the most radically altered re-working so far - stumbling waves of broken frequency pulsations, the vocals taking on an otherworldly righteousness - before hectic drum programming completely throws you off course. Which leaves DJ/Rupture to continue the destruction with female spoken words layered over digital steppa chops with a uber compressed rhythmic torrent. Bruising. CD add's two extra Timeblind versions, one paranoid digital roots pumpa and one that gets downtempo hip hop break heavy with more hefty dancefloor quaking intensions. Purest fire from start to finish. Essential! ニューヨーク在住のテクノ狂、タイムブラインドことクリス・サティンジャー。大学でクラシカル・サキソフォンとクラシック音楽を学んでいた彼は、同時にフリー・ジャズ/フリー・インプロヴィゼーション/ノイズにも傾倒し、アシッド・ハウスとアンダーグラウンド・レジスタンスの洗礼を受けてテクノ・シーンへ参入。90年代中期から後期にかけて、カナダの、ミネアポリスの、ニューヨークの、東京の、ロンドンのといったレーベルで、変態発狂フレーズが縦横無尽に飛び交うDJフレンドリーなミニマル怪作を量産した。--その後、プログラマーとしても才能を開花させ、かの有名なソフトウェアSuper Colliderのプログラミングを担当。自らもSuper Colliderを用いた作曲を展開し、現在はキット・クレイトンが主宰するや、キッド606のなど、西海岸ポスト・テクノ/エレクトロニカ・シーンの最先鋒レーベルから実験志向の強い作品を発表している。フリー・ジャズ/ヒップホップ/アシッド/ミニマルといった要素を徹底的に究明し、ミクロサイズの緻密なプログラミングとミキシングで昇華。それによって構成された楽曲は、タイムブラインドという名の通り、時流の感覚を完全に狂わせてしまうほどの破壊的衝動がみなぎっています。
