What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Dosh is some dude from Fog who are on Ninja Tune. Dosh isn't.... oh no... he's on cooler than thou Anticon label. I have to say I prefer this to any Fog stuff I've heard. Tis avant garde instrumental hip hop with lots of odd noises and strange beats. If yr a fan of the Anticon stuff I reckon after a few plays you'll start to warm to the ample charms available here as I seem to be.

What the label says:

Martin Dosh, most well known as the drummer and Rhodes piano player in the Minneapolis band Fog (Ninja Tune), has struck out on his own with his debut solo record. When he wasn't practicing drums, playing in bands around Minneapolis or teaching drums to elementary school students, Dosh was collecting hours upon hours of drum breaks and keyboard riffs in the basement of his house, a room cluttered with musical instruments, old samplers and effects pedals, blown out amps and a couple of dusty couches. He worked for a little over a year putting sounds to tape with the occasional accompaniment of friends. These recordings would become this collection of 12 self engineered, mature instrumentals. Dosh's live drums, which are filtered, overdriven, looped, and effected, sound like a robot with human hands playing a beat-up kit through a vacuum cleaner. They are set in layers of sad, jazzy piano keys, beautiful feedback ambiance, vibes, reverb and delay-drenched Casios, turntables, guitars, and Dictaphone tape. The album displays a full hi-fi sound spectrum while maintaining the down-to-earth honesty of a homemade recording. Riding the faders, mutes and effects knobs, Dosh mixes in the spirit of Lee Scratch Perry, making each pass a one-of-a-kind, spontaneous performance.
