Far Away (6 Songs Of Reggae & Dub Music)FORTHCOMING EXCLUSIVE
Review: The sounds of 80s dub reggae coming out of the alternative and post-punk scenes of a rebuilt but divided (West and East) Germany is explored on a sampler of The Vision. A consciousness dream built by Hanover homegrown, Felix Wolter aka Dubvisionist with cohorts Sister Natty and Tygrr, they explored the meeting of cultures of that moment, combining their background in and love of rock, krautrock, punk and post-punk, diving deep into an adoration of reggae and dub, especially emanating from discovering On-U Sound. Later encouraged by Adrian Sherwood himself during a pilgrimage to London, The Vision was born. Working from riddims rather than songs, jamming continuously before vocals are added, arranging and then dubbed live on the mixing desk, utilised as instrument over a mere sound tool. Their debut '10 Tracks Of Reggae & Dub Music', from which this release is culled, was released in 1987, seeing the band go on to release and tour for the following decade, with spin off bands, projects, producing and a studio continuing up until today. A live band exploring the studio with their interpretation of dub reggae in all its forms, the songs Far Away, Different Language and Whirl showcase Sister Natty's conscious style atop roots and steppers riddims. The African Headcharge-inspired Natty Vision, possibly the release highlight, opens to percussion jams before the spoken words of Fear and speaker shacking, On-U-dubs-clash-crash of No 4 complete this EP sampler with ears wide.

Review: Robert Hood, the renowned techno producer, is set to reissue one of his most influential albums to mark its 30th anniversary. Originally released in 1993 under his alias, The Vision, "Waveform Transmission Vol. 2" encapsulates the raw techno sound that has come to define Hood's music. The album was created just as Hood was leaving his hometown of Detroit and moving to New York with Jeff Mills, his cofounder of the Underground Resistance label. Tresor, the German record label, has delved deep into its archives to bring a fresh release of this classic album to fans. With funky techno drum foundations and mind-bending details, "Waveform Transmission Vol. 2" set the bar high and has aged incredibly well. All hail Robert Hood!

Review: Dave Lee's first Produced With Love album was not only a celebration of his production credentials, but also a celebration of the music that has inspired and shaped his career over the years, namely soul, disco, boogie, jazz-funk and house. This follow-up, which lands 5 years after its predecessor, continues in a similar vein, with Lee offering up 12 new songs and a wealth of remixes of tracks by other artists. As you'd expect, it's an on-point collection, with the many highlights including the soulful disco-boogie bounce of Raw Essence hook-up 'Do It Again', the Omar-sporting dancefloor sunshine of 'Starlight', the boogie/soulful house fusion of 'Love Walked In The Roo his hot-stepping two-step disco tweak of Roland Whitingale's 'In Your Blood' and a string-laden disco rework of 'Mountains' by The Vision.
