chilling and strange, Dec 23 2006

Electronic/ Dubstep
I gave this album a few tries before I decided that this is pretty damn good. Listen to The Spaceape. Obviously it is his bass voice and strange Jamaican accent with ominous and domineering phrasing, which is scary and chilling. Unlike one may think from his hypnotizing voice (er..Ah! Devil's music!..die!) Spaceape mostly talks about social justice and human rights. The music is dark and monotonous as if it were part of a future underground movement (hence the album name). "Glass" and "Curious" are "dread-pop that ease you into a false sense of insecurity." Too much listening can be unstable, but this music relaxes your blood and bones.
Recommend: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 14 (All are good, play randomly.)

Minimalist and ethereal but interesting dubstep. There are several artists in this genre who are moving beyond what to some looks like regular dub records.Interesting vocals mixed into the music I agree with others that the effect is eerie.

As much as I liked Burial's S/T..
This album by label founder kode 9 is on par, or possibly even better.
It's certainly more balanced track-wise with nothing particularly weak, and Kode9's style is incredibly distinctive.., which would make sense as he's been producing for longer than Burial.
Its a haunting, affecting listen.. perfect for late nights.
This album really goes beyond the current definition of Dubstep into another realm (called "Bass Poetry"by 9).
