Seven Dollars? Step Right Up!

"I've seen Tussle described as both "non-reggae dub" and "live drum and bass." However you classify this music, it's unquestionably very cool stuff. The four piece band features a drummer dropping breakbeats, another percussionist layering in fills on the five-gallon bucket, a bassist who offers repetitive grooves, and a fourth member who adds keyboard licks and assorted knob-turning to lend the music depth. The music seems a little thin and redundant at first, but a second listen reveals compelling textures that are constantly evolving under the deep bass riffs. I think fans of anything from fusion to krautrock will appreciate what Tussle is doing. Though it never grabs you by the balls, this is funky stuff that's absolutely worth the seven dollar gamble."

"I love to listen to anything by Andy Cabic! This is his side project but cool nonetheless. It's off the chain from finish to start! I listen to this record every day. I smoke too much dope. All the songs are beautuful and tragic. It reminds me of Harry Partsch. It also reminds me of Human Condition and much of Jah Wobble's work."

"I love this CD! It's bumping from start to finish! I listen to it driving to work in the morning, goes perfect with my morning coffee and cheese danish. Beautuful and energized. I recommend it highly, I just wish it was longer... oh well, I guess you cant have everything."
