New(ish) Dread Zone Al***
Posted by: garyi on 14 April 2002
Its OK, but it hasn't jumped on me like Second light did, or indeed 360.
I am hoping this is a 'grower'
It has got a different slant to the other Dreadzones, but is just as good as the first two (and better than "Biological Radio" - something Dreadzone themselves agree).
Took me a little while to adjust the the slightly different sound to the album.
Here's a tip. Start playing it from track 7 (Different Planets) - those are the tracks most like Second Light.
When playing from the beginning, you must play VERY LOUD INDEED. This is where you find out if your SBLs "do bass" or not. Oh, and your feet should start behaving like they have a mind of their own.
Not convinced yet but hey I am typing away and my feet are tapping so something is working out.
For everyones info I also purchased the following this week, (so much for the stopping buying music bit)
Van Morrison: Hymes to the Silence ( I have heard this before and knew I wanted it, well I found it on some pristine vinyl for 6 quid, well happy)
Masters at work, Our Time Is Coming (how do I explain? Its kind of 70s female funk, mabye blaxplotaion stuff but with housey style bass and drums layered on top. Very well done and enjoyable, not a knock out but glad I got it on vinyl)
David Holmes: Come Get it, I got it (This baby is straight out of the 60s/70s hardcore stuff a little like The doors stuff, massivly weird undergrouond stuff from way back when, but again with new phat beats on top, recommended if you are hard core enough
)
Mother Earth: as mentioned on another thread here, get it folks, you owe it to yourself.
After typing all this and listening to dread we have moved from track 7 into 8, very nice, nick as usual you have it in the bag.
I just need lots more vinyl for this Linn Klyde, so much of it I may just buy randomly and see how it turns out!
