The Bug & Ghost Dubs
Implosion
80点相当
Veteran sound explorer Michael Fiedler produced several flavors of abstract dub under two previous aliases, Tokyo Tower and Jah Schulz, before he debuted his Ghost Dubs project with a 2024 album on Kevin Martin's Pressure imprint. The producer's style of submerged, sparse ambient dub couldn't be a better match for the label, and it's only fitting that his next release is a full-length split LP with the Bug himself. The two producers take turns, with the Bug providing odd-numbered tracks and Ghost Dubs doing the even-numbered ones, but it all flows together smoothly, sounding closer to a collaboration than a soundclash. Martin's tracks are much more restrained than the type of material he makes with the intention of blasting at parties or accompanying guest vocalists, so even compared to the sonic weaponry collected on Machines I-V, these are some of his deepest ambient dub excursions
