Review: Next time someone tells you that jungle's too narrowly defined and formulaic, reach for this admirably inventive EP from Dust E-1, which brings plenty of fresh ideas to the genre. 'Sun Dials' intersperses fierce ragga jungle licks with a dusty, lo-fi jazz loop, while 'Civilised Rhythm' could almost slip unnoticed into a straight-up dub set but also brings chipmunked vox and ominous synths ? la vintage hardcore. On a more typical junglist tip, 'One On One' is a sparse, moody roller that could have beamed straight in from 1993 and 'Truck Stop Steppers' has an uncompromising darkside feel.
Review: Run Dust is a project from Luke Calzonetti, an American artist who is a member of the noise band Child Abuse. Given his background, it's no surprise that In Paradisum describes Supermarche as its most 'macabre' yet. Certainly, there are traces of Calzonetti's noise background throughout, from the screeching vocals and distorted broken beats of "Todd Rundgren's LSD" through the dense tapestry of malfunctioning computer noises that comprises "The Bath" and the sprawling feed back textures of "Dull Conversation". There are other, more atmospheric moments on Supermarche, like the textured soundscape on "Intro" and the lovely chiming bells of " Sincere Crime", but in the main, this is all about bringing the noise.
