delayed response here: sacred system: nagual site (wicklow/bmg) -- this is my favorite of laswell's dubby stuff, lots of different textures and details. really a thoughtful and finished work. strong indian current (zakir, badal) plus brief appearances from dave liebman, byard lancaster, graham haynes and craig harris. also, skopelitis and bernie worrell.... jah wobble/bill laswell: radioaxiom, a dub transmission (palm/axiom) -- luscious! not as ambitious as nagual site, but very rich and stands up to repeated listenings. (nils petter molvaer, graham haynes, skopelitis, gig amina, karsh kale, sly dunbar et al.). of the previously recommended: laswell: dub chamber 3 (RIR) -- i second this rec. a more static outing than either of the above, but with endless enjoyable dub grooves. gigi: illuminated audio (palm) -- this remix is really more laswell in the studio -- gigi doesn't sing all that much. dubby ambient, very pleasant. laswell: points of order and sacred system chapter two -- i like these but would rank them in the second tier of laswell's bountiful discography, lesser works than those mentioned above. my jury is still out on the tabla beat science discs, altho the L.A. show was a blast. pharoah sanders, the singer from system of a down, and lili hadyn joined the crew as guests.... martin np. zero-7 -- simple things
