What we say
This record left our Ant feeling happy.
The hour is upon us... behold the new Meat Beat Manifesto album 'Autoimmune'. Jack Dangers is somewhat of a maverick when it comes to putting a breakbeat and a dub bassline together. Take a few choice samples, throw them into the mix and he manages to create some ass shakin' funky as hell tracks. It's a winning formula that has changed little over the years, although its become more reggae influenced and less post industrial. There's some ace techno sounds and some proper heavy beats. There's even a token 'Radio Babylon' sample in there. There's some toasting from Daddy Sandy who pops up on the odd MBM track now and then. 'Children Of Earth' is a monster of a tune with its big distorted techy bassline that morphs all over your ears. In the current obsession with bass heavy tunes it's clear to see why Mike Paradinas has signed this up to Planet Mu. Man I'd love to check their live show out. 2LP/CD.
What the label says:
New full length from seminal industrial band MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO (aka MBM). Led
by sound sculptor and producer extraordinaire Jack Dangers, MBM is
continually evolving. It’s tenth album pushes musical boundaries
further than it has before, creating a masterpiece of electronica and
dubstep."I feel like Dub has always been part of my sound". says Jack. Guest
vocalist Daddy Sandy features on "I Hold the Mic!", and the
techno-tinged "Spanish Vocoder" touches on his his early techno roots.
"Every record is different," Jack explains, "and in this record I
focused on what I like to do versus what other people like me to do:
beats, bass and distortion." Meat Beat Manifesto’s constantly evolving musical invention has generated a long string of influential futuristic classics , including such tracks as "God O.D.","Psyche Out", "Helter Skelter", "Radio Babylon", "Edge of No Control"
and "It’s The Music". The single, "Prime Audio Soup"(from the album
Actual Sounds and Voices) was featured in the sci-fi fantasy
blockbuster The Matrix and on its platinum-selling soundtrack. Tracklist: -
