TIMEBLIND – MOST EYE, THE RASTABAMBA REMIXES (CD by Orthlong Musork)
Every so often a painter, a sculptor, a writer or a musician is lucky
enough to have that one moment where all of the elements involved in
creating their piece come together. Whether it’s the ideas falling in
place, the time of day, the noise outside or any number of variables,
these moments are usually few and far between. Orthlorng Musork’s
Timeblind seemed to have all of the elements in place, while
recording his masterpiece, 'The Rastabomba’ on last year’s album,
'Rugged Redemption.’ Apparently, the track was recorded around 5am
soon after moving to New York City, while the water pipes in his
apartment ruptured and his hard disc crashed. Some are so lucky. All
kidding aside the track is a monster, which has been reinterpreted by
the likes of Kid 606, Kit Clayton, Dj Rupture and the super collider
(the software, of course) maestro, himself. The Most Eye Remixes each
carry the persona and characteristics of the individuals with
production duties. Mostly revolving around Ragga themes and
subtleties, all of the remixes involve the imminent dub stabs and
granular ramblings of a Rasta radio host discussing his frustrations
on political and socio-economic issues, both found on the original
track; the only exception being Dj Rupture’s mix, which substitutes
the deep male vocals for a sexier female vocal text. Kit Clayton’s
powerhouse mix is built on heavy bass stabs, while Timeblind’s own
mix is a rough, edgy noise piece that induces internal bleeding.
There is so much going on underneath the obvious. Listen closely.
With the original track, 4 remixes and 2 Timeblind bonus mixes (which
were the standout tracks for me) you can’t go wrong! The beats will
induce bodily movements, whether you like it or not. (GK)
