Few things are as satisfying as a good mix - all the enjoyment of a well-chosen hour of music without the hassle of having to constantly get up to switch between CDs, records and tracks - and Konkokting Dub is a very good mix. Harking back to the glory days of Beyond, Universal Egg, incoming! and other purveyors of fine ambient dub, The Kaleidoscope and DJ Toona roll out fifty-seven minutes of rolling rocksteady basslines, little fluffy synth plumes, sounds echoed, slurred and reverbed to infinity and probably more than a few fatties for themselves. Like Kaleidoscopes own music, most of the cuts represent the digidub/neo-dub set. A few reverent old-school/traditionalist dub tracks do surface, a spliffy Mad Professor mix of Original Hi-Fi's"Sabbath Bride" foremost among them, and Rhythm & Sound (with Tikiman)'s now-classic anthem, "Spend Some Time," completely engulfed by dank, cavernous echo, provides excellent counterpoint - dub taken to its modern, minimalist Berlin extreme. Toona and Kaleidoscope don't tamper much with the plates, beyond a nudge of the fader or a casual segue. They just let the music play, and a tidal wave of dub pours out, sweeping you up, bouncing you gently on swells of rhythm and echo and finally setting you down easy with Easy's oceanic blissout, "Skankin Down." Within this laid-back environment, theres plenty of room for each track to flow. "Babel," with its rattling snares, sax skank and Elfmanesque music box drop-ins, shines even brighter than it does on Nostramus fine Earthlights LP (Recordings of Substance). Kaleidoscope's flashy ragga workout, "Slur Horn Dub," finds him in more energetic form than anything on the serenely stoned BeatznPieces (Pik n Mix). Salvo Jets vibrant "Worst Scenario" emerges as Konkokting Dub's shining prize, soulful digidub crammed with tricks and toothsome tune-age. Just what the Mad Professor ordered to soothe the headache-y hangover from one hyperactive megamix too many.
