Just
a few months after the Dubroom
released his heavyweight Début,
Heartical is back with 15 top
DUB shots, straight to Babylon Head.
His talents as a graphic artist
show, and not just in the excellent
Cover Art which he made
single-handedly, but also in the deep,
deep DUB of his second album. |
| Heartical
is a bass player, guitar player, graphic
artist and singer/songwriter. His long-time
membership of the Original JAH Roots Band
(founded 1987), a thing which he shares with
Messian Dread, provided him with the necessary
experience to develop his truly very
personal style of DUB.
His originality already came to the
surface in his début album "Operation
Emancipation", but in Dub Remnant it
even shows more. Heartical has added a deep,
deep, almost industrial vibe by applying an
unusual and intelligent way of drum
programming as well as making an excessive
use of synthesizers on top of a bass that
goes deeper than the deepest ocean.
Altogether, the 15 tracks that make up
this second album paint a perfect picture of
a Conscious Man's experience as he is
watching the coming downfall of Babylon. The
only spoken words on the album, provided by
Zeph Daniel, express this very same
experience you find on each and every one of
the tracks.
It's all about a combination of
heavyweight realization of the evil that is
going on, kinda scary sometimes, and a
determination to leave outa Babylon and move
forward to Mount Zion. The remnant might be
a small group, the DUB Remnant might be an
even smaller group, but the Drum and Bass
will guide you safe through all the trials
and tribulations.
