Synopsis

Album Description
Over the past 7 years the inquiries have ranged from polite requests to insistent appeals, so by popular demand Waveform, as they like to say in radio land, by suggestion, have surrendered to the desires of the universe. After a long break, we've returned to our roots to present the fourth edition of Waveform's groundbreaking `ambient dub' or A.D. series. Back long before `electronica' was the `next big thing' and on the lips of every bandwagon-jumping journalist in the country, Waveform's seminal A.D. series set the pace for exposing this genre-bending fusion of ambient textures, world music influences and bass-heavy dub flavors. Exposing the likes of such cornerstones of the global ambient/dub movement such as Banco de Gaia, Higher Intelligence Agency, Sandoz (aka Cabaret Voltaire's Richard H. Kirk), Spacetime Continuum, and A Positive Life with classic and exclusive tracks like Irresistible Force's transcendent remix of Coldcut's "Autumn Leaves", the previous three volumes of this series have sold over 100,000 copies. Four A.D. continues the tradition with new and fresh tracks from UK artists Ganja Beats, Ziontek, and White Star, plus old favorites Rockers Hi-Fi and G.O.L., Sweden's Solaroid, Germany's Razoof, Asura (France), Soma Sonic (Canada) and Mystical Sun (USA).

Another Superb Waveform Compilation!
09/23/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The first three titles in the A.D. series (ambient dub) have a combined sales total of over 100,000 units and now Four A.D. promises to continue the tradition. Particularly crucial tracks include "Montego Bay" by Germany's Razoof and the G.O.L. classic "Angelica in Delirium" from that sadly missed UK trio. The CD starts out fresh and dubby and ends up smooth and dreamy.A MUST HAVE for modern day electronica fans who like the vibes both chilled and dubby!"
