Reviews

Who would have thought that? The old Greeks already used turntables. As the cover artwork from "Trample The Eagle And The Dragon And The Bear" proves, no one else than the great Sokrates, Plato and Aristotle invented the turntable. The original stone mosaic shows the custom-made machine which always caused discussions between Sokrates and his wife Xanthippe. She always complained about the "snake" which actually is a microphone as archaelogists later found out.

"
Trample The Eagle And The Dragon And The Bear" makes me really pensive because I wonder what the title means. Why have these poor animals to be trampled. Trampled down maybe? Or is Trample the name of the Eagle. It sounds like a nice name to me. Anyway, I think they only want to irk the critics because they have to write down such a long title like "Trample The Eagle And The Dragon And The Bear".

But seriously. I am happy to see a full vinyl album with a real cover. It is so much nicer than a 10". And here, we have a full 22 minutes per side. It seems that they put all their energy in finding a long title like "
Trample The Eagle And The Dragon And The Bear" and then were too exhausted to take off the last two track names from the vinyl cover. ;-)

But I know how the other 14 tracks sound. And you know what? I won't tell you! No, you read right. I won't tell a word because you have to hear by yourself. It's your own fault if you miss this brillant album.
Alpha & Omega simply rule. Fully heartcore UK dub style without a compromise. Every measure and every bass drum hit is a boom boom boom.

For me, this sets high standard for the year 2005. All other releases will have a tough stand against this dub masterpiece. Sokrates would have been proud to play this LP on his home stereo.

P. S. Please check "Selassie I" featuring
Reuben Master. Turn on the volume and bass as much as possible. This is IT. Everything that I am praising here on my website since 1998, put in one song!!!!!
