Product Description

From Amazon.com

A companion piece to last 2002’s DJ Spooky/Matthew Shipp collaboration Optometry, Dubtometry features a hodgepodge of techno, turntablism, and experimental trip tunes. Despite its title, Dubtometry features little of that familiar rumble, though dub master Lee "Scratch" Perry does drop in on "Jungle Soldier" and "Sequentia Absentia." The album, however, is concentratated around clever samples from the likes of Karsh Kale, I-Sound, and Negativland. The jazz-oriented material on Optometry survives only in spirit, as Spooky's reinterpretations keep the emphasis squarely on the electronic. While John Coltrane fans will appreciate lithe lines in "Parachutes" and "Rosemary," this dreamy, extraordinary effort has a heart made of Spooky’s natural medium--wax. --Matthew Cooke

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem added to a long and fine catalog. July 18 2004
By Gregory Gross
Format:Audio CD
I have been listening to music from this artist since the late 1997, and from Necropolis, to Riddum Warfare, to the Frieght Elevator Quartet, to The Blue series with Matthew Shipp, this artist has proven that he has few peers if any at what he does. And what DJ Spooky does is to create landscapes made from tones, ambience, and samples. Along with his own brand of turntablism DJ Spooky continues to do two important things; Elevate the state of hip-hop underground in general when everyone wants to be Fithty Cent or Trick Daddy; Help to keep the music out of the clutches of those who would do little more than glorifly the "thug life".
However, it is important to also say that we have ignored genius in this culture before, I hope that the fact that we still get releases from DJ Spooky is a sign that things will get better for those in the population who need to hear genius, unfeddered by corporate greed.

5.0 out of 5 stars wicked mash up! Mar 18 2003
By easy
Format:Audio CD
This album is one of those rare remix projects that actually comes out better than the original (at least for my tastes). The abstract/free jazz aesthetic on the original 'Optometry' album was engaging, but not exactly my thing. This album is killer. Just look at the roster, Mad Prof., Scratch Perry, J-Live(sick track!), Karsh Kale, and I-sound just to name a few. Actually, I think the best remix comes from newcomer, Colorform, who records for DJ Spooky's Synchronic Records. His remix is perfect for chilling at home, but at the same time could rock the dance floor. Same could be said about the DJ Goo remixes. DJ Spooky has to be one of the most consistent artists working in today's industry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Background music, something diffrent Feb 10 2013
By cassandra tu - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This album can be pretty abstract, with it's elements of free jazz and constantly changing atmosphere. It's not too interesting to just sit down and listen to, it makes fine background music though. If you can appreciate abstract beats, you might like this. If you are looking for more straightforward beats, move along.
