Rating: ecstatic This record left our Mingus feeling ecstatic.

Yo! Mingus Rude reporting here to put a finger in your ear, yer hear! Apparently I've been given a new moniker: Killa or Killer or something. The only thing I've killed are a few of my own braincells. That said, maybe I've killed some other people's with a dj set or radio broadcast...who knows? First up in my pile of things to review, slay or big up is Pub's new CD on Ampoule:"Sekatuo Ton". As you'd expect it's a lush, drifting, atmospheric developmental head cleaning affair. Sounding some what hollow to start with, it gains more and more depth through layers of pulsing signals, environmental happenings and some campfire guitar strum-type folk singing towards the end. I must say I'm a big Ampoule fan, I like the way they've stuck to their guns and done things for themselves. Catering for the post-techno, ambient crowd they've developed a really cool outdoor, pastoral vibe. Amazing head music.

What the label says:

I always get excited about Pub releases. That's mainly because he's responsible for some of my favourite electronic music over the last 5 years. Following on from the excellent 'Legless' and the superb double CD reissue of 'Pantomime' comes this official version of Sekatuo Ton after the limited 4 x 3" CD versions that were around last year. Spread liberally across the CD is a series of beautifully delicate and ambient traks that you may find strange at first. But when you consider Pub's penchant for adding field recordings and conversations in to the background of most of his work to date it does make absolute sense that here he should release something that concentrates on that side of things. You can hear everyday conversations, deep drones and semi-classic ambient strings, all dripping in atmosphere and with a lovely distant quality that leaves you feeling as if you're only barely there experiencing the reality of it. A couple of the tracks are literally a series of recorded conversations made at a beach somewhere with a slightly spooky set of strings lurking in the back ground that give it all a sinister edge. By the time you arrive at the latter half of the CD the beatless music has taken over and we're treated to 5 simply sublime slices of sheer soundscape beauty that are fragile, gorgeous and very melancholy indeed. It's hard to sum this work up in a review like this as it needs to be experienced, preferably alone and in the dark (in my opinion, anyway) but suffice to say that this is one of my favourite releases by Pub
