Various Artists : Ambient Dub

Ambient Dub compilations are out on Beyond Records.

Volume 1: The Big Chill

[RBADLP1] / RBADB01]
Vol.1 The Big Chill

Track Listing:

  1. Original Rockers - Sexy Selector
  2. 21st Century Aura - Disorientation
  3. Banco-de-Gaia - Desert Wind
  4. Mimoid - Strawberry
  5. G.O.L. - Angelica
  6. Banco-de-Gaia - Soufie
  7. Mimoid - Tree of the Sun, Tree of the Moon
  8. Alphanex - Planet Hoskins
  9. Higher Intellegence Agency - Ketamine Entity
  10. 21st Century Aura - Something Started

Bit of an oldie this one ('93). Not a lot that really stands out either, its all a little bland and abstract, with the exception of Banco-de-Gaia's Soufie, which is one of my all time favourite ambient tracks. Its a wonderful, slow piano piece that fades in and fades out....lovely. Its only ever been released on Banco's early tape-only albums, so owning this compilation on CD/vinyl has its advantage!

Volume 2: Earthjuice. A Compilation Album

[RBADLP3] / RBADCD3 / [RBADMC3]]
Vol.2 Earthjuice.

Track Listing:

  1. Original Rockers - DeMat DubRim
  2. Higher Intelligence Agency - W.H.Y
  3. Higher Intelligence Agency - Speed Learn
  4. Original Rockers - The Underwater World of Jah Custeau
  5. G.O.L. - Soma Holiday
  6. G.O.L. - No Bounds
  7. Banco-de-Gaia - Shanti
  8. Banco-de-Gaia - Lai Lah - Deeply Serius Mix
  9. A.P.L. - The Calling
  10. A.P.L. - Universal Message
  11. Insanity Sect. - Subliminal Air

The second in the Ambient Dub Compilation series, released in '93. Yet again the only tracks to write home about are by Banco-de-Gaia, both of which feature on the Maya album in their original format. Initially the Deeply Serius Mix of Lai Lah (Recorded Live at Club Dog, London) doesn't differ that much from the album version, although in the latter half of the track it veers off on an excellent little drum solo. As far as I know, this is the only compilation to feature this particular remix.
