Incidents

Released

Although it’s credited to them as a duo, on this album Bill Laswell’s contribution is mainly as a bass player; the music and production (and all other instrumental contributions) are credited to Alex Haas. But Laswell’s influence is very strong here: check out the loping dub-reggae undercurrents on “Introspection,” or the steady pedal point of his bassline on “More Worlds.” Laswell and Haas turn out to be something of a dream team on this album, which is simultaneously easy on the ear and deeply musically interesting.
