Ben Neill – Night Science [Album release]

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

As soon as I’d heard Ben Neill had sorted himself out with an album of his twisted dubstep-jazz schmooze I was on it like an instant!

Whilst appealing to those who favour the deeper more experimental end of the dubstep spectrum, the Mutantrumpet master himself keeps things fresh with his brand of dub-jazz-step or whatever you’d like to brand it.

If you can imagine scenes from a sleazy flim-noir strip-joint scene amped up on electronics fizzing with tension, yet smooth enough to drink straight, you’d be getting close to Mr Neill’s subtle, yet powerful production work and musicianship.

If you pick up any album this month (after my own that is!) then let it be Night Science by Ben Neill. Highly recommended.

As far as I’m aware, Night Science is available now. Go find it!

Forensics – Heavy Weather (The new album)

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

So I’ve only just managed to digest the wonderfully simplistic, and comfortably minimal “Zero Billion” from Forensics and he drops his third album “Heavy Weather” on my lap with a sense of accomplishment.

I must say this. If you like minimal, brooding, dark and steady dubstep with a pinch of eeriness, and a sprinkle of the unknown – then you will most certainly enjoy this 10-track offering.

You can check Forensics on MySpace and for those who demand a higher-quality audio player on his Virb page

Once you’ve marvelled at his ability to finely craft a track from the barest of elements – then you can most likely fire on over and buy his past releases in sheer anticipation of the next.

Word from the man himself is that although he has releases still to come, this may be the end of one era and the start of the next. Take that as you wish, but at the very least snap the album up when it arrives and give the man your appreciation for all his hard work!
