OM, Gethsemane dubplate. First listens in progress now.
OM + Dub is a natural match made in heaven, what with the expansiveness of OM's sound and vibe, the Biblical allusions and declamatory prophetic chanting and spiritual yearnings, not to mention the fundamental deep bass and drum nucleus of the band. I'm loving this (and the Addis dubplate), 'cause I really want to: Cisneros' reverbed vocals go down good - very African Postman - but I can't help but wish they brought in a few real horn players, and the beat sounds a little too canned to my ears - not enough deep space and imagination percussion-wise.
