Tosca: Peter Kruder, Richard Dorfmeister.
<p>Tosca, Austrian maestros of the mix , pay homage to their Jamaican forebears in CHOCOLATE ELVIS DUBS; an album containing instrumental dub versions of the single "Chocolate Elvis." Featuring the production talents of likeminded downtempo merchants like Rocker's Hi-Fi and Bullitnuts, the album is a unique excursion into the possibilities of the remix. Using a limited palette of vocal samples and drum breaks, each track is restructured through the creative use of sampling and other production trickery. On Baby Mammoth's "Graceland Dub," the word "shake," stutters into rhythmic fits of apoplexy--a weird cyborgized visage of "The King" himself.

- Kruder at his best
I'd never heard of Urbs before this release, I found this CD by way of Peter Kruder. Kruder (of Kruder and Dorfmeister stoned downtempo fame) is a production genius, and he's on top of his game here. Lush yet spare jazz-based progressions, and atmospheric live instrumentation weave in and out of the smoky soundscape Kruder fans have come to expect. Can't recommend this highly enough - like all good albums, it'll grow on you more and more after each repeated listen. This was the only CD I had with me on a 5 hour road trip from Las Vegas to Phoenix, it played over and over again, and I never got tired of it. Awesome, moody stuff. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:
- Excellent!
I heard this album on my friend's system and got instantly mesmerized. It conveys a plethora of moods, backed with live instruments excellently intermingled with electronica and occasional, good voices. The overall mood is a bit dark, but the bright moments make the melodies fantastic. A must have for chillout, trip hop and downtempo aficionados familiar with good European music of the genre. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- good music, song titles are strange
I like this album. I was directed here from pandora wanting to buy the song 'The Lord's dub'. The song from amazon does not match the song from pandora. |
