"Dub as soundtrack fodder. This CD demonstrates the vastly overlooked potential of Dub music in film. Lots of variety here - slow/mid and uptempo grooves that grabbed me after one or two listens. I would recommend this to anyone looking for inspiration, as many loops seem more hypnotic than repetitive. It might sound very cliche, but to me this is very Massive Attack for the most part. The continuity is excellent - this is one you can play right through without skipping. Well done Guidance - Five stars for the dub noir."

"Pretend Grand Central or Ninja Tunes released a hip hop remix of Eno's Music For Motion Pictures targeting the jet set cognoscenti. They didn't , but Guidance's sublabel just came so close its frightening. Subtitled envisions a haven for soulful experimentation related to underground film culture. Before anyone else had the chance, they've christened the genre "dub noir" to encompass Take One and subsequent releases. Lush, hypnotic downtempo soundscapes unfold with elegance and imagination. Haunting vocals emanating from the farthest reaches of the globe contrast with MC's from around the way to establish a cosmopolitan sensuality and a sense of the sacred. Introspective selections from Wuleeks, X-Ray, and Projections complement such tracks as the exultant "Dis Poem" by Mutabaruka (Brace re-rub) and "It's Lovely Here" from Martian Tin Can. This collection explores consciousness through stylish pieces that would lend themselves well to movies that don't exist yet.On the other hand, it may be better if those films are never made than ruin these tracks through association with less than inspired cinematography"
