A couple of tracks from Lustmord's [ O T H E R ] album have had some dub remix treatment by Justin K Broadrick and Lustmord himself. No surprises then that this is dark and seriously brooding stuff. Broadrick's Dub Awakening mix manages to feel simultaneously claustrophobic and cavernous. This could well push the paranoia levels over the edge after too much ganja. Adam Jones from Tool adds some guitar into the mix which gets some delay treatment which along with the bassline makes this a most sinister cut indeed. If I'm honest here I can't quite get into the "real" drums on here. On the B-side fellow welshman Brian Williams (yes he really is Welsh and his name is Brian) goes to work reconstructing his dark ambient sound design with some heavy digital beats. This has a super slow heavy vibe that recalls Scorn's recent nightmarish take on dubstep. This has a lot more of a gnarly techy sound than I was expecting from Lustmord but that's no bad thing. No doubt this would sound totally freaky on a massive rig. Transmuted is ltd to 500 copies on Hydrahead.
