This release begins a new series of twelve inch specials wherein dub will be rediscovered in different styles.ДUB PLATES FROM THE ELEPHANT HOUSE VOLUME 2 Of the four cuts here the title track provides the key with a rapid halfbeat bassdrum kicking the jerking chord progression into shape, the two versions of Woods include a Meteo remix on this slippery, sliding dub skip and a jump, whereas Tube-Dub reverts to more anonymous downtempo fare. METEOSOUND/SELECT CUTS 12' VINYL METEO 007Д«erlin labels Shitkatapult and Meteosound share an office so its convenient for Lars Fenin to cross the room, shed the techno straightjacket, don a shiny new d&b suit and knock out this crackling slice of modern dub. Here Moll-Selekta return to the high standards created by their Joseph Cotton and Alton Ellis sets with a quality compilation of the singer's tunes from the seventies, mostly self-penned but with a few Jamaican classics thrown in such as Greg Isaacs' Once Ago, John Holt's I am Your Man and Ernest Wilson's Undying Love in addition to covers of soul originals from Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and Cornel's role model, Sam Cooke. Though there may be many claimants to the title of reggae's sweetest vocalist few have the pedigree and output of Cornel Campbell whose catalogue runs from Studio One, through the 70's patronage of Bunny Lee up to his recent startling collaboration with Rhythm & Sound. This new single, limited to a thousand 12' copies has Black Star Liner stepping up for remix duties, stripping the original vocal mainly to the repeated title - no bad thing as the original mix has the drama and structure of an deservedly obscure prog rock anthem - what emerges is firmly in the mould of the nu dub dance style veering neatly out of the thudding orbit of trance, shiny, crisp beats under a righteous vocal line. Sonically ADF are a much more interesting proposition, on top of the original AMS mix comes Moabit's broken, blistered beats and Bollywood samples chopping up the chant, DJ Mehdi's swirling technorai jump up and, most striking, Jazzwad's bass-heavy wired remix reducing the vocal chant to a minimum whilst upping the doom levels to max - despite the over-used siren and middle-east wailing effects.ДЄdrian Sherwood's remix of 3Head's Warning was the standout track on Chainstore Massacre - last year's round-up of future On U Sound material. That's the style over time for most agitprop lyrics and there's no change here. Plenty of observation and question, but short on solution.
