Music Pick O' The Day: Hallucinogen In Dub
This is so cool. The bass line is just too nasty for words. You've just got to listen to it. It's LSDWorldSheetOfClose off of "Hallucinogen In Dub" mixed by Ott. Have a listen and let me know what you think.
Here's a little bio about Ott from his "unofficial" myspace page.
"Deep within
the English countryside lie a number of brilliant music producers. One
such unfashionable but extremely talented artist is Ott, best friend of
Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen and previous editor of the Shpongle
albums. Reclusive genius Ott is no stranger to the studio. He has for
the last 20 years been producing arranging and recording some of the
most famous artists including Sinead O'Connor, The Orb, and Brian Eno.
Working in a wide range of the best studios in the land from SARM East
and West, Real World, and Ridge Farm to Foel in Wales. He has been
interviewed in the producers/engineers bible Sound on Sound and is
currently managed by Strongroom Management UK. He continues to work
with many famous artists and along his travels met up with master
producer Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen, editing Shpongle. After
hearing his studio skills Simon commissioned Ott to make the modern dub
album 'Hallucinogen In Dub' as an antithesis to his own hurtling
psy-trance music. The results are as you shall see, startling, a
stunning example of modern dub and one that is sure to be massive with
all dance music and ambient music fans across the globe. It's a dub
circus with flecks of the original souping in and out, and the effect
is truly psychedelic. Spiritual Antiseptic uses the original's cutup
vocals with a more traditional dub arrangement - melodica, clattering
drums, and reverb to hell and back. Twisting and turning, the way the
main LSD melody surfaces is pure sonic poetry, and certainly gets those
brain chemicals flowing. Finally Angelic Particles - with swirling
vocals and sweet guitar (specially recorded by Simon Posford) creating
a sort of timeless dub full of rich psychedelic harping back to Floyd,
Gong and the Grateful Dead. This is an absolute triumph - it's
original, it's brave, and the sounds are truly transporting making this
a release that truly deserves the 'psychedelic' tag."
