Pankow The Art Of Gentle Revolution (5 Cd + Book)

Well, Bardana, if you mean the video "Visive's first creature," it's nice but half-baked. I mean, the digital visions are worth it, but why break them up with the girl singing and the band playing? It gives the video a sense of déjà vu. The track itself strongly harks back to the times of Bauhaus and Siouxsie rather than Pankow. For some, it might be interesting, but for me, it's nothing at all. Regards.

Mr. Nob, I just watched the DVD and if you’re interested in something absolutely buried but truly enlightening, you should check out The Weather Underground, trust me, you won’t regret it (and it also involves the Black Panthers). You can also find it on www.ibs.it at a ridiculous price. Do the right thing.

Well, of course Hoffman rejected the abuse of the acid he invented. Unfortunately, the creature got out of his control. Then again, if someone constantly indulges, of course they become a visionary...

Maybe he wasn't crazy but he was definitely a crafty one. He ended up in prison in 1970, and the Weather Underground helped him escape in '74 (by the way, has anyone seen the amazing DVD about the Weathermen's story?). He repaid them by naming names to the F.B.I. I don't know the record and I won't get to know it. To me, he remains a coward.

Okay, okay, enough, I have my responsibilities too. Let's wrap it up like this. The vast and populated America has given us jazz - the unfortunate and small Jamaica first gave us reggae and then dub. Let's just say that proportionally, the rasta really shine...

Thank goodness we are 4 cats or maybe 2 in this little room and we don't cause any external damage :) However, there is some foundation to my statement. By "music we listen to," I mean that which is created and heard in the First World (which I consider the fourth). Do you agree that the DJ style was born in Jamaica? Do you agree that the compositional attitude (samples and whatnot) started with dub in Jamaica? That said, does 2+2 make 4 or 5? ... hoping that the virtual walls hold up...
I haven't heard the latest from Sherwood, so I can't tell you anything, sorry.

You got it right, guys, there are so many monumental works of bass culture to mention. I also avoided citing in the review, taking for granted the primary influence of dub on the role of the DJ, and also of black music, etc. I preferred to write some names, known to most on DeB, who have drawn from this culture. And then there are the successors who have innovated the genre, churning out masterpieces like those from the On-U Sound workshop. I might be exaggerating, but for me, dub has influenced the music we listen to now even more than jazz.

Returning to "serious" matters: I would like nobody to cheer for me. Also because these days cheering for someone causes problems... instead, I would prefer not to find myself all alone reviewing similar high-relevance sonic topics (dub but also other new electronic sounds). Tonight, before going to bed, I’ll ask baby Jesus if he can bring back to the side of reviewers sweet souls like Zion, Kosmogabri, Odradek, and the like... who knows...
