The second 12" 'Opera' from
BASS CLEF drops this week with 3 cuts lifted from his stonking
debut album. 'Cannot be
straightened' is a bottom end wobbler that requires you to wear a nappy
at the soundclash such is the
enormity of the faeces inducing stuttering bassline. No messin'. I can
just see it now. A crowd of spliffed up ravers falling about on a
dancefloor covered in doo doo. In all seriousness though this is a lot
more exciting than a lot of the current dubstep gear with nods to early
jungle with it's time-stretched vocal sample and tight edits on the
drums. Well smart. Meanwhile 'Opera' on the flip is a dark digital
monster with haunting operatic vocals giving the cut a deeper
atmosphere. 'Don't
Ask Me To Forgive You' starts off as a slow reggae burner and builds
into an early morning bass bin buster with lots of sneaky little
percussion fill adding to the funk and a sweet female vocal with delay.
Quality future dub for the floor. Check it out on
Blank Tapes. We have a couple of the white label promo copies knocking about and all.
