Earthjuice

Amazon.com
This compilation of ambient dub is brimming with reggae-induced rhythms, samples, and the occasional melody. Paying homage to dub's origins in Jamaica and the man who made them, Osbourne Ruddock (or "King Tubby"), this group of dubmasters manipulate the sounds of reggae into a fresh, sometimes danceable and sometimes just tripy, but always satisfying electronic compilation. Ras Command creates an echoing, thumping love dance with "Love Dub," mixing in flanged drums, vocal echoes, reverbed electric piano, and flute-synthesizer. Other standouts include P.R.O.M.'s "Hypnotized," which with its leisurely rhythm, sensuous and breathy incantation, crisp percussion, and moody organ melody will surely do just that. "Unbelievers" is notable for its laid-back, traditional reggae swing and cavernous percussive whipping. Throughout the set, dark plump bass, subterranean keys of staccato, and an icy percussion swirl together, creating a blend of choice mixes that make for a refreshing slurp of thick and creamy Earthjuice. --Karen Karleski

good. interesting. deep........2002-05-20

This cd even has a reverbed sample of the word "marijuana" by itself. This is music to smoke pot to.

Displacement of time.......2001-03-30

"It feels as though the sun is my home"...thus begins the intro to a series of mesmerizing hypnotic tunes that will take you to the outer streches of the universe and back...."a place I will return to." The spacey music found on this excellent dub CD has been getting regular play for the last few years, ever since I first heard it on Musical Starstreams. The nine songs included are futuristic interpretations of the tradional musical Jamaican dub style found on the "b" sides of 45's during the sixties. What an evolution, from Jamaica to the UK and to the outer realms of places unknown. This is "trippy" music without any mind altering drugs, the music does the trick. Seductive, dark, melodic, atmospheric, dreamy, otherworldly and with a beat, this is music for the spirit, uplifting it to explore the inner working of the mind. Lay back and close your eyes and let the music transport you to places that exist , take the time to listen and see another world. This music will take you there, don't worry you'll still be here when you come back, you'll feel refreshed and wish you could go back. Recommended for dub rockers worldwide.

Who cares if it's not on the top of the charts?.......2001-01-25

This is one of the most original CD's I've ever heard; thought provoking, mesmerizing.... This is the creme de la creme. Give your car or home subwoofers a workout with this one.

Yubba Dubba Doo.......1999-03-03

Ya, mon- bring it' on! The juiciest juice this side of Montego Bay is just ripe for the pickin'! The most dubbalascious and contagious groove mastahs to hit the States since Hurricane Andrew!!!

Ahhh!.......1998-11-25

After my first full glass of this electromagnetic dub, I must say that I was more than satisfied. This is easily Waveform's dubbiest release, however, it is intelligent dub. It's not the senseless, beat-driven electronic music that is produced in the U.S. This music has sensibility and emotion to it, and it evokes an amazing array of mental images. Drink deeply, as the liner notes say.

Ambient Dub Volume 2: Earthjuice - A Compilation Album Manufacturer: Beyond Records ProductGroup: Music Binding: Audio CD ASIN: B000BD7LR6

Customer Reviews:

a very good ambient collection.......2006-09-24

Not to be confused with Waveform's ambient dub release "Earthjuice" or Divination's "Ambient Dub, Volume 2," this is the second in a four part series. Like its predecessor, "Earthjuice" is ambient music under the house/techno/trance banner. Contrary to the series title, 'DeMat DubRim' is the only ambient dub track. While similar to the first disc in most respects, the song choice makes this sequel stronger. Always intoxicating, moods range from mellow to hyper. While "Earthjuice" is a very good compilation, it probably isn't worth $40.00 -the lowest price from Amazon's marketplace sellers.

PS. In case you were wondering, Amazon does not currently carry "Aqua," volume three in the Ambient Dub series.
