Dubb Assassin, March 98 demo (Plastic Spoon) CD
I thought the description "demo of electronic music" was a touch on
the broad side...until I listened to the disc. The Assassin has
obviously spread his ears around as the sounds on display range from
clanking breakbeats ("No control") through Bentley Rhythm Ace funk
("Rapid fire") to almost-commercial synth washes ("Xenodub") but all
based on a signature bubbling electro mid-range that keeps the pedal
firmly to the metal through the 11 tracks. These demos seem to have
common kin with the Big Beat family, the idea of kitchen sink
techno--sampling from wherever you can and lumping it all into the
mix---but there's also a reluctance to drive straight down route 1
into Clicheville and that makes this a breath of fresh air.
