Coming soon: Dub

Review: Originally released in 2016, Celtic Vedic now lands on vinyl for the first time, fully remastered and expanded with a previously unreleased track. At the heart of this sprawling ambient dub record is Youth - aka Martin Glover - whose decades-deep credentials (Killing Joke, The Orb, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, etc) need little introduction. One of his most revered and emulated projects, Dub Trees pitted Jah Wobble, Matt Black (Coldcut), Andrew Weatherall, Mixmaster Morris against a host of instrumentalists from the Celtic and Indian classical traditions. Flutes, harps, tubaphone, pipes and chants are warped and refracted through Youth's psydub prism, tracing speculative links between Druidic and Vedic cultures. This LP closes a trilogy that began with Hicksville and East Of The River Ganges, and still sounds great: holographic, saturated, and utterly unplaceable.
