Golden Chariot

VINYL FORMAT. "Golden Chariot" b/w "Dub Chariot." Karl Blau has become the most active member of the Dub Narcotic Studio Patrol, recording his own smooth jams, as well as those by LAKE, Arrington de Dionyso, The Hive Dwellers, Angelo Spencer and The Curious Mystery. As such, it was a natural step for the prolific Blau (sweet croon, soft tremble) to record a Dub Narcotic Disco Plate. In true virtuoso fashion, he played all the instruments. "Golden Chariot" makes a big pot of soup open up and say "aaaah." You can use your words. This 7" offers a remix by Selector Dub Narcotic (the vinyl nom de plume of Calvin Johnson) who was given not only the supervisory role of this recording, but also provided emergency late-night peanut butter sandwiches.

The sparseness of "Golden Chariot" countersinks the fat, driving beats - Blau's caterwauling turns the hard back beat into a spike driving trance. An organ holds hands with a piano and skips by taunting our hero as he lifts his heavy head. Johnson brings you his signature craft of dub on Side B, and lulls you into crisis of hypnotic hostage.
