Here's an excerpt from the web site:
"Phutureprimitive is the refreshing musical creation of Oregon-based DJ/Producer, Rain. The Phutureprimitive sound is subterranean electronic tribalism, combining elements of organic downtempo, ethnic breaks, and sensual atmospherics. Ethereal vocals soar over dubbed-out basslines, and live percussion unfolds over odd time signatures creating a groove that is influenced by the synthetic textures of psychedelic trance as well as the kinetic grooves of world music.
Something deep and tribal has been growing in the Labs, unseen and unheard, until now. The first full-length experience from Phutureprimitive is entitled 'Sub Conscious' - welcome and right at home, at the headquarters of downtempo and ambient dub - Waveform Records.
Vibration for the imagination. Turn the lights down low - let your mind and body flow... "

Review of Phutureprimitive "Sub Conscious" at Morpheus Music. http://www.ephemerid.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/MorpheusMusic/reviews5.htm#phuture
STYLE
Phutureprimitive employ dark, haunting, extended, introductions that gradually build into equally brooding down-tempo tracks. Very strong basslines drive many of the pieces with blunt, gut thumping, dubby patterns creating a powerful low end. Layers of synth arpeggios and chord developments are laid over the top with excellent attention to detail, clarity and quality of sound. There are tribal hits and beats in places with sparingly employed ethnic flutes, didgeridoos and yells adding to what feels like a lush, thick sound.
MOOD
A consistently moody yet refreshing tone is carried throughout most of the album, supported by deep, evolving laid-back beats. Sub Conscious feels like contemporary music of substance, it is cool, unhurried and passionate. Tracks slowly build into rhythmic passages; the beats shift and at times are gone, before dropping back in with new elements added. There are moments of ambient, environmental sound, unplaceable mechanical noises and droplets of water and even some flamenco guitar - yet the overall mood of 'subterranean electronic tribalism' is never lost.
ARTWORK
A close up primitive human face with hi-tech camouflage and blue unblinking eye fills the front cover. Variations of this same image reappear on some of the other panels. The booklet is of three folded pages, dark on the outside with minimal text - monochrome grey on the inside with text of a simple font laid out in the shapes of an eye and a spiral. Text on the back cover proclaims "A cinematic journey through 'sub conscious' sound. Deep swirls of rhythm meet phuture dub. Vibration arouses the imagination. Find comfort in the darkness." The Phutureprimitive logo is effective and distinctive - I expect to see a lot more of it as word gets around.
OVERALL
A strong, atmospheric album of electronica laced with female and ethnic spoken and harmonic vocal snippets. There's a lot going on in the low frequencies where weighty, hypnotic bass and beats form a rolling canvas for some bold synthetic structures. The synth work is engrossing - full of filter sweeps, gate effects, morphs and arpeggios. Melodies are frequently understated, almost arpeggiated, with the sensuality of the chord developments being sufficient to carry the compositions. Electronica fans who prefer exploring the dark to the sunshine. This is deep ambient dub for down-tempo dancers. If you enjoyed Delerium's Semantic Spaces album this CD is a possible development from there.

Yes, I have said this before, but this really is an absolute dream-gem of an album. Rediculously expansive, sliding, morphing sound poems that wrap their way carefully and brilliantly around your ears.
Buy it! |

Just got this beauty from Waveform records...and I must say that the USA is prodicing some hot psy-chill artists such as Bluetech, Androcell , Shakatura , Adham Shaikh & Waterjuice...
Ordering from Waveform: prices for CD's are $10 which is cheap and makes up for the international postage of $18....and the last order took only a week and a bit to arrive.
Also do check out the Sounds from Ground, trip hop dub..also cool.
