in yet another collaboration with fellow painkiller mick harris,
bill laswell teams up with eraldo bernocchi for veve, which is
unsuprisingly a dub oriented release. the album is filled with
laswellisms in his bass playing as well as harrisisms in the more
experimental sound collages overlaying the foundation the rhythm
men have set forth. the main focus of the music is a fairly steady
vector of dub music with the echoing and often eerie background
noises floating above and in skew lines to the music. in other
words, this is jamaica taking acid and lacking the island tropical
warmth. the most notable thing about this album is that three
different studios are credited in the making of the cd, suggesting
the three men collaborated overseas and two continents. the result
is much more even than one might think under those circumstances.
the music never really makes a bee line for a structured beginning,
middle and end, but does tend to encompass the listener with a
stream of consciousness and flowing musical experience.
as any laswell fan probably can guess, veve is recommended for them
and for those interested in some very solid modern electronic dub
music.
