The A Side – Provisional (Dub) was originally released in 1999, as part of the ‘Systemwide Meets Muslimgauze – At The City Of The Dead’ project, on a 5-track 10″, setting the two dub extraordinaries head to head and giving the underground a first taste of this heavily loaded piece of bass & drum centric dubwise music.
On the next side of the disc, we find the shimmering ‘Pan American Midnight Sun’ Remix of Ripe Up, which turns a sedated version of the original into something deeply meditative, centred around introspective melodica and isolated bass guitar, with shreds of the percussion escaping through an array of effects, expertly dubbed.
Even 15 years after these tracks first saw the light, they remain as relevant as ever.
