Review from Cadence: Part of an eight-disc release by the prolific Spitznagel, this particular album mines the field of instrumental dub reggae. Using only a Dell PC (with Sonic Foundry software), an instrumentation that may strike some listeners as a risky proposi-tion for a music that is (generally) so full of sweat and vigor, but dub is nothing if not a producer''s art, and Spitznagel comes up a solid winner on these 12 tracks. A good reference point for the curious is probably the work of the late Augustus Pablo, par-ticularly his recordings with the legendary King
Tubby. Flute, trombone, and alto sax (including samples of Sonny Simmons) decorate these dark, atmospheric tracks, and Spitznagel captures the all-important low-end bass presence of dub, as well as its propensity for odd, ghostly mixes that send the listener into a whole other place. The insistent "Karma," the spooky "Jahzilla" (with its stabbing R&B alto samples and creaky-door sounds), and "David The Pistol," (whose cliché trumpet riff is undercut by, among other things, a rather alarming, on-the-beat breath-intake), all show an understanding of dub that erases any doubts that a non-dreadlocked musician with a
laptop could even begin to cut this stuff. Listen, and be pleasantly surprised.

A PC loaded with original and found music loops, samples and sounds is this artist''s studio/palette. "All I need can be created on the keyboard" says SPITZNAGEL; "with this computer I can conjure up more musical voodoo then I ever could with my paisley Telecaster!"
SPITZNAGEL''s music ranges from acid-jazz to retro-electro to techno-dub to laptop-blip''n''glitch. With 30 years of experience in the music business and 15 of those as a professional musician, SPITZNAGEL brings a broad perspective to the world of loop- and sample-based music. CADENCE, the world-renowned jazz magazine, has stated: "SPITZNAGEL negotiates a unique solo performance using electronics as his paintbrush and an extra-wide soundstage on which to splatter his creation".
