SPECTRE
The Missing Two Weeks (Covert Dubs) (BMG) And just to be confusing, another dub album from a group called Spectre, this time from the UK. Much warmer, cosier, more ambient and, erm, more backgroundish than The Illness, Spectre make warm, fluffy, computer generated dub music. The beats are phat and there's lots of ‘Let’s put an echo on the last drum kick of that bar, and reverb the fuck out of the bass, and pan that vocal from left to right, and who’s rolling the next spliff anyway?’ sort of behaviour going on to liven things up. The vocals are confined to the 'Open your mind, it’s a space in time’, ‘Good vibrations’ variety but they are very pleasant. Not exactly groundbreaking stuff, then, but perfect as background wallpaper.
