Whirlpool

Panda Bear and Sonic Boom's album Reset came out last year, a brightly coloured, psyche- pop record that took samples/ ideas from songs from the past and recast them. Sonic Boom asked Adrian Sherwood to do a dub and in typical Sherwood fashion he didn't do a dub, he did many dubs, eventually the entire album remixed dubwise style out by Sherwood and a selection of the On U Sound cast of players. Reset In Dub comes out in August digitally and then December on vinyl. To whet your whistle they launched Whirlpool Dub into the wilds last Friday. This dub/ psyche version of Panda Bear and Sonic Boom is very nice, with a tripped out edge, lots of warmth and sounds bouncing around the parameters of the mix- there's a cello in there too which works perfectly, as Panda Bear's voice gets sent reverberating into space. Buy it here

One of my favourite albums from last year, I can't wait for the dub version.

Seeing a dubbed up version of an album by either Mad Professor or Adrian Sherwood is usually reason enough for me to buy before trying. The fact that the latter has 'reset' last year's excellent album by Panda Bear & Sonic Boom makes it an essential purchase. The wonderful preview track has done nothing to persuade me otherwise. Great stuff.
