linernotes by Bart Platenga:
Bill Laswell: bass player, composer, arranger and
seminal music producer, was born 12 December 1955 in
Salem/Illinois. His incredible contribution to music,
and electronic music in particular, has made Bill
Laswell one of the most influential musicians and
producers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
One of the first big milestones in Bill's career came
in 1983 with the world-wide success of ⌠Rockit÷, a
song he co-wrote and produced for Herbie Hancock. The
song hit the charts and catapulted Bill Laswell from
the New York underground scene, transforming him into
a sought-after studio musician and producer. He
subsequently played and produced for Laurie Anderson,
Gil Scott-Heron, Peter Gabriel, Mick Jagger, Yoko Ono,
Mot≈rhead, Iggy Pop, The Ramones and many others. In
the ⌠Big Apple New York City÷ at the beginning of the
90s Bill Laswell and producer John Matarazzo founded
Axiom Records (Nothing is true - everything is
permitted) and the subdivisions Subharmonic and
Strata, which soon released a number of albums, many
strongly influenced by Laswell's growing interest in
electronica √ from Detroit techno sounds to ambient,
but also jazz, folk, funk, metal and dub.
The ultra-essential Sunharmonic In Dub features
illustrious guests and a bunch of Bill Laswell's
compadres from former times presenting hypnotic dubs,
coloured by funk, rock, jazz, ambient and worldbeat.
It's nigh-on impossible to pin this album down and
tuck in a specific corner, but the impressive list of
musicians credited says it all: Bernie Worrell, Bootsy
Collins, Buckethead, Brain, DXT, Jah Wobble, Sly
Dunbar, Robert Musso, Anton Fier, John Zorn, Mick
Harris, Alex Haas, Nicky Skopelitis, Haruomi Hosono,
Gabe Katz (Blind Idiot God)to name but a few!
Together, they've created a fascinating fusion; the
results of this musical melting pot are truly
delectable: wild, rough free jazz√metal with acoustic
guitars lifted from smoochy ballads meet cool jazz
funk, space reggae and dub deeeep dubs flow into
languid, drawn-out soundscapes, spiced up with
disconcerting percussion noises subliminal frequencies
create threatening moments, dispelled just in time by
mushrooming trance crescendos echoey spaces, the
sound of running water, the billowing screech of jets
and the rising frequency of nervous bits and bytes
guitar-god riffs rock with galactically heavy,
crashing drums, melting into funk, hip hop, scratching
and space bass
A distinctive, perfect blend metamorphoses into an
avant-garde dub conglomerate.
