This is dub for the space-age and a major step in its evolutionary influence on today's electronic music culture. Futurist dub that creates new maps of time   [ read more ]

Though Bill Laswell is no stranger to his inner creative genius, there is something about the complete free reign that the Tzadik label routinely gives its artists that seems to bring out their best work. So it is not surprising that Invisible Design, his first Tzadik album, hums with energy and the poetic grace of a well-executed thought. The overwhelming element throughout is a kind of meditative flow -- with synth elements and lingering bass notes floating in and out like breath. The percussi   [ read more ]

Immediately after remixing Bob Marley for Island/Tuff Gong/Axiom for a "new" dub electronic release and performing a similar task on Miles Davis for Sony/Columbia for a dub-oriented instrumental release, Bill Laswell went into his new Orange, NJ studio to produce Sacred System: Chapter Two, his second release for ROIR.

Version 2 Version  A Dub Transmission, Laswell's fifth release for ROIR, brings us back to the elemental power that made Laswell's earlier releases so compelling: thick earthy basslines, a bedrock of drums, fiery percussion, blustery guitar and atmosphericsall played by a world-class group of musicians who know how to breathe life into a musical whole greater than the sum of its parts.

On Sacred System: Chapter Two, bassist and producer extraordinaire Bill Laswell makes good on the partly unfulfilled promise of 1996's Sacred System Chapter One: Book of Entrance. The difference, in this case, is a small ensemble of guest musicians who include Material guitarist Nicky Skopelitis, a tabla virtuoso named Bill Buchen, and jazz cornettist Graham Haynes (son of legendary bop drummer Roy Haynes). Whereas Chapter One was a rather arid solo project, Chapter Two comes c   [ read more ]

The first solo record for his new Innerhythmic imprint, the avant-groove Points of Order recording finds the ever-collaborative Bill Laswell inviting stellar musicians into his formidable company for this fall 2001 release. Beginning with a representative Laswellian "period" drum'n'bass spy movie piece, hip-hop leftists Anti-Pop Consortium vocalize over "Staple Nex" and "Broken Toenail Gland," and find an ideal landscape for their acclaimed intellectual spoken words and raps.

Featuring a cast of characters that includes Nils Petter Molvµr, Hamid Drake, Amina Claudine Myers, Sly Dunbar, Aiyb Deng, Nicky Skopelitis, Graham Haynes, Karsh Kale, and vocalist Gigi Shibabbaw, this collaboration between bassists Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble is many things, but it is not a dub album. The music found here is a far cry from the stripped-down, spooky reggae created by the economically strapped Lee Perry and King Tubby. What is here is some gobbled   [ read more ]

One of the most prolific men in music, Bill Laswell doesn't release albums under his own name as often as he once did, which makes Book of Exit, the fourth in his "Dub Chamber" series, especially worthy of attention. While the previous "Dub Chamber" releases leaned more toward hard Jamaican-style dub music, with instruments dropping in and out and plenty of reverb and delay, this is altogether a different beat, in large part due to the vocals of Ethiopian singer Gigi. And what Laswell, {$Gigi   [ read more ]
