Search - Meat Beat Manifesto :: R.U.O.K in Dub

Mbm at its best

"Like someone already said, I don't understand the "pure dub" (whatever that means) compliance requirements for an mbm album. This is sort of like complaining that Throbbing Gristle's "20 funk jazz greats" album is not jazzy or funky enough.

For some dub stuff i recommend Bill Laswell - he has 5-6 new albums every year and they all are guaranteed to sound the same.



This is one of my favorite MBM albums - along with subliminal sandwich. It took me a while to get into it though - I got it around christmas time and I didn't really play it that much until maybe a couple of months ago. Nowadays I spin thru it 3-4 times a week. It is bass- and rhythm-heavy (I guess that doesn;t necessarily say much since all mbm is)...it has the samples of Ukranian engineers talking about montages of sound objects (this actually carried over from r u ok), it has a jamaican-sounding dude similar to that on subliminal sandwich.



Anyway, it is a great album and I do recommend it to those who already own RUOK. It is the whole different deal.

"I love this dvd, mostly because it mixes jacks wonderful music with a kind of etheral visual experience. It goes perfectly to

the music, provoking many new ideas for the viewer. I think if

you are into MBM and jacks own stuff, you'll understand this is necessary!"

Seriously goood mix of dub

"this album is very inspiring. it lays down tricky dub tracks that have a psychedelic twist to them.

this is my favorite meat beat album thus far.

if you're looking for a great after work groove, i highly recommend this album."
