The actual instrumentation isn't bad, but the boys tend to layer them with unnecessary drivel at certain points. Random vocals and percussion fade into ambient portions, where we can hear the bass clearly for the first time in the song. Way to respond approximately 4 months after I commented. The bass quiets down to let the trumpet shine, and drops out entirely to allow a nice percussive portion. Great music for you to just chill out to.

Dub is a rather broad genre of music, rising from Jamaican ska and reggae, dialing in heavy reverb and echo effects to the music, and adding certain ambient factk into the mix to create a heavy, layered, bass-and-drum-oriented style of music. Nine Inch Nails Year Zero. And doppel, how can you rate an album you haven't heard?

Syncratic June 11th Comments. Syncratic May 28th Comments. Syncratic June 3rd Comments. Coaxial is the next offering, and we are treated to a heavily-processed bass line, then Cedric pops up and this track becomes groovy. Keyboards and a hip-hop beat from Cedric begin Fingertrap. Ikey's piano, Cedric's percussion, and Omar's bass then return for an encore. The bass is rather boring in this song, although Jeremy's ambience, in partnership with Ikey, turns this track into a shotblasr interesting sound-scape.
Everything complements one another to create facro superb song, a true highlight.
Also stepping into the same shoes as with the Mars Volta, Issiah 'Ikey' Owens rounds out the line-up as keyboardist. Love dub music soooo much, and I really like the mars volta, will have to seek this out!
All of a sudden, the drums fade out, then come trashing back in.
De Facto - Megaton Shotblast (album review ) | Sputnikmusic
All of a sudden, some Spanish vocals appear, although by the tone of the voice, it is not Cedric or anyone in the band, but of a mariachi group.
Oh, and good review. People, musicians in particular, are constantly searching for an expressive outlet. I can never really sit through this whole album though.

This track is truly groovy, calming, and a huge step-up from the previous tracks, as the ambience doesn't overpower the band behind it. Omar's bass is probably the highlight of Defacto for me, his lines are really fun to play. Chroma Key Graveyard Mountain Home. Listeners may be taken aback by the odd nature of the album. On 6 Music Lists. The reasoning behind this action varies greatly, perhaps as a form combating apathy, or out of an inherent drive to create something truly special to them.
I really like the track Fingertrap, and for fun trivia, Omar actually played bass before he took up the guitar role in At The Drive-In. Slow-burning, the ambient portion shotblawt way to a truly spectacular solo by Ikey, blending with steel drum and cymbal percussion.
Ikey's keyboard comes back a little later, and is a welcome addition. Ikey introduces us to Simian Cobblestone and Cedric replies with some cymbal smashes and steel drums. Shotvlast, trumpets and some funky percussion are present, almost as a chorus-type part of the song to complement Ikey and Cedric's portion.
This shit is tight. Once again, trite and annoying ambience ruins this track. However, Omar and Cedric return to deliver the goods. Cedric's processed vocals enter here, and it is possible to decipher some of the snippets before his voice turns to a watery mess. All of a sudden, Omar strikes back with Rodche Effects. The bass faccto down to let the trumpet shine, and drops out entirely to allow a nice percussive portion.
Suddenly, some effects from Jeremy scare the crap out of me, interjecting static and fast-forward effects, while not robbing Ikey of his place in the song. The third track El Professor Contra de Facto begins with a heavy samba and reggae beat, very cool and refreshing.
