REVIEWS :

Anyone who is a fan of dub shouldn't be without this. In fact, MDI 2 is even better by my account, but what you get here is two discs full of the kind of dark dub treatments usually associated with Bill Laswell/Mick Harris and the like. Even the tracks that seem like they might not fit (Spring Heel Jack and Tricky?) work well in this collection. I prefer the twisted slow beats of Scorn and Automaton over the straight ahead four on the floor stuff that is offered here, but it's all a great taste of rumbling low bass.
