Press Reviews "Les vrombissements electro-dub de la vieille Angleterre n'ont pas fini de nous faire trembler. Subsonic HeadDub est un collectif d'instrumentistes et de bidouilleurs électroniques de Hull.Dans la lignée des sorciers de OnU-Sound et de Mad Professor, ils captent l'énergie et les vibrations de la terre pour les transformer en ondes mélodiques. Depuis 1997, Subsonic HeadDub a surtout activé son nouvel avatar, Nazca Nine, qui explore d'avantage les rythmes du növo dub et la World (en écoute la semaine prochaine). Vous pouvez retrouver toutes les infos sur le groupe sur le site du label Megalithic, ou acheter leur cd sur mp3.com."www.fluctuat.net .................................... "Though they're adept at producing thick, dense Dub tracks, most of Subsonic Headdub's music defies categorization. They combine heavy, thudding Dub beats and basslines with shimmering, jangling Alternative Pop guitar licks, which unexpectedly veer off in Middle Eastern directions before finally settling on spaced-out Reggae riffs. Vocal samples, sirens, Caribbean percussion, and Ambient synths gradually build these tunes to thundering climaxes before they break down into hypnotic, minimal grooves. The juxtapositions can sometimes be disorienting, such as the arpeggiated Trance riff which plops down in the middle of a heavily Reggae-derived tune. And the use of spaghetti western guitars in Ambient Breakbeat excursions may strike the ears as rather incongruous. But it certainly makes for a compelling listen." Rosemary P, www.listen.com
