Dub Chamber 1: Book of Entrance
Released
Like many bassists, Bill Laswell has always had a particular interest in reggae music, and even more particularly in the remix subgenre known as dub. Most of the time, dub versions are precisely that: versions of vocal tunes with the voice and various instruments dropped in and out of the mix. But on Dub Chamber 1: Book of Entrance Laswell creates original instrumental music in a dubwise style, playing bass and keyboards and programming his own drum tracks, and then subjecting them to dub production techniques. Laswell is a master of the melodic bassline, so the results are both mystical and deeply grounded.
