A New Chapter In Dub Vol. 2 (The Secret Language Of Ordinary Objects) 1 The Orb - Apple Tree In My Backyard 2 Lost At Last - Reggae Raga (Youth Remix) 3 Dub Trees - Celtic Sufi (Recovered Memory Syndrome Mix) 4 Youth & Pete Lazonby - Lifesong 5 Youth - Liquid Room (Vedic Fire Mix) 6 Luna - Baraka 7 Youth - Spectral Beach (Mercury In My Veins Mix) 8 Pitch Black - Electric Earth 9 The Gentle Revolution - Stealth And Cunning 10 Dub Trees - The Golden Legend (Take Me Dancing Where The Mountains Meet The Sea Mix) 11 Dub Trees Ft. Brother Culture - Don't Wanna Lose Your Love After the disappointing 1st installment of a new chapter in dub by Youth I was a little apprehensive about this release. But Liquid Sound Design rarely disappoints & this compilation is definately not one of those rare moments. Youth has put together a fine collection of psychedelic dub here, mostly involving him. From the orb track at the start to the dub trees at the end, it just oozes class! 1 The Orb - Apple Tree In My Backyard A beautifully fantastic opener. Nice soft melodies, soft mutterings of a girl talking about her beautiful apple tree. Lovely underlying garden sounds like birds singing. 2 Lost At Last - Reggae Raga (Youth Remix) A soft baseline starts & it has a very cool beat. It has a nice reggae feel but it has some vocals which I could really do without. Changes direction a lot giving it quite a random feel. 3 Dub Trees - Celtic Sufi (Recovered Memory Syndrome Mix) A fantastic intro, some nice plucked strings (harp?) playing a beautiful melody. Nice slow synths lead into a trippy beat & baseline. Some very subtle background flute towards the end. Nice. 4 Youth & Pete Lazonby - Lifesong A simple track with a 'clicky' melody. It's nice enough but no progression. The baseline progresses slightly to stop the track from becoming boring. 5 Youth - Liquid Room (Vedic Fire Mix) A long intro with a soft baseline & a nice simple melody. The beat kicks in around 2 minutes and there are some soft whoosh like synths. Apart from that it just keeps going. A bit boring. 6 Luna - Baraka Very chilled sci fi sounds. Thumping beat decent progressive synths & melody but overall this track is a little boring. 7 Youth - Spectral Beach (Mercury In My Veins Mix) The album gets a bit darker here. It starts with a strong but soft baseline. A great melodyreally floats through this track. A fantastic atmosphere, reminds me of sitting alone on a dark beach. 8 Pitch Black - Electric Earth Another little bit darker track. This sounds kinda medieval to me, a soft guitar melody, driving baseline, cool beat. Good stuff. 9 The Gentle Revolution - Stealth And Cunning A bit darker still & slightly more upbeat. Dark melodies & synths remind me of some older flying rhino releases. Nice electric piano & muttered samples add to the atmosphere. 10 Dub Trees - The Golden Legend (Take Me Dancing Where The Mountains Meet The Sea Mix) Still sounding quite dark but in a dusky way, like the threshold of night. More upbeat than anything preceeding it and a simple 4-4 beat. Sounds to me like electric fantasy, helped by a lord of the rings sample. 11 Bonus Track Dub Trees Ft. Brother Culture - Don't Wanna Lose Your Love This bonus track is very reggae sounding. It is a very nice track but it shouldn't have been tagged on the end of the album, it would have been better near the beginning. It's very light & bouncy with a guy singing I don't wanna lose your love which kind of breaks the mood set by the last 4 atmospheric tracks. So all in all another fine release from Liquid Sound Design. It starts of great has a bit of filler (although even those tracks are nice enough but just not great) but it comes together in the end with nice dark (night time dark not evil dark psy dark) atospheric tracks. A bonus track is a bonus obviously but should have been positioned earlier on the album. Go get it!! Favourites 1,2,3,7,8,9,10

DARK FULL ON (example Mubali/Derango) is kind of boring ISRAELI FULL ON (example Yahel/Mfg) is fun but shit CLUBBY PROGRESSIVE (example Vibrasphere/Freq) is nice in small doses PSYTECHNO (example MidiMiliz/X-Dream) is great I don't hate any genre. It's the artist & tracks that I hate. Every genre & sub genre has music that is good & music that is bad. Except country music

Innovative new directions? What? Skazi Spice ? He's a new Spice Girl? high energetic moves ? What is he? A mortal kombat kontestant? The spiel advertising this shit is as bad as the music.

Couldn't quite hear the similarity to Mai Mai which is one of my favourites.

My favourite album is orb live 93/bro evil 39 but my favourite track is actually Apple Tree In My Backyard from Youth's compilation, the secret language of ordinary objects.

I recently bought ISDN but I haven't been able to get into it. Maybe it needs more time. I'll go for lifeforms. Very nice album.

I was annoyed by the 20 tracks on the last album too. Some people were saying that it was like 3 really long tracks but I can't agree. Some of the tracks are great but just as you are getting into one, it changes. I'm waiting for shpongle to remake that album with 20 proper length tracks.

Painful!! Poptrance really really really... a word is yet to be invented to describe what it is, but it is and really really really at that. Singing shouldn't be allowed in Trance. Just shut your mouths guys, it's easy! I was very dissapointed to see a big picture of skuzzy skazi at a beach bar in enoshima yesterday. Needless to say I didn't go in that place.

I enjoy the album when I listen to it but it doesn't make me want to constantly put it back in the CD player. It's good but not great!

Seen a few live PA shows in my time. I'm not sure on the terminology but at these shows the artists were creating new (looooooooooong) tracks out of samples on their machines. Some of it was really good & always sounded quite original.

Scorb - Scorb & Mr Perculiar - Mind Dala are 2 I like. Very good fullon!
