Coming January 27th,
the newest production from Meat Beat Manifesto releases on two
discrete formats: CD and 5.1. Surround Sound DVD.
Taking the starting
point and cues from several of the songs on last year's
R.U.O.K? album, ...In Dub re-imagines and reinvents
these, emerging well beyond the core ideas and with all the deep
grooves, fx and rumbling basslines of the genre and then some! Five
songs feature the one-take toasting talents of DJ Collage on the
mic, grounding this ultra-modern music back into Jamaican dub roots to
express a unique continuum. The album also includes several completely
fresh tracks along with new alternate versions for a double dose of
sensory-shattering electro-dub. ...In Dub 5.1 Surround
finds Jack Dangers controlling the joystick on six channels of sound
to juggle, pitch, and place against the visual backdrop of original
motion graphics created by longtime Dangers collaborator and video
director, Ben Stokes (DJ Shadow, Meat Beat Manifesto, Public Enemy, De
La Soul, The Orb). Jack invokes true sound-clashing sorcery within
this wholly new medium and space-busting technology. The end result:
sound unleashed and the listener right at the heart of Meat Beat
Manifesto music like never before....
