DJ and Host Alex and Live music from Austin, Tx=20

ECO BASE Soundsystem

Come and enjoy this special night with one of the best discs of the=20
genre  .

Echo Base Soundsystem ::



 Finally, from the Third Coast, Austin Texas, comes an impressive=20
new CD from Echo Beat Sound System. This band, formed only three=20
years ago, looks and sounds like the future of Texas, with three=20
dreads, three Latinos, and a certain laid-back home-grown=20
eclecticism that is common among Austin artists. These guys are=20
clearly absorbing influences that include, but go far beyond,=20
traditional dub reggae. The first couple of cuts, "Glitchopolis"=20
and "Nyingje," are perhaps the closest thing I've heard in the U.S.,=20
outside of Ben Wa, to the sort of synthesizing, post-reggae dub=20
coming out of Europe. "Niko" has a meditiative, Augustus Pablo feel.=20
As the album progresses, so does the experimentation, with the beats=20
sometimes venturing into drum and bass territory, or essentially=20
unclassifiable, sometimes meandering excursions. By the seventh and=20
final cut, "Dervish," what we are hearing is really ambient=20
or "chill out" music. I like it, but it's not for dub=20
traditionalists.
