Macro Dub Infection Volume 2

The second and final volume in producer Kevin Martin’s Macro Dub Infection compilation series casts an even wider net than the first. It must be said that there are a lot of German artists, though, including minimal dub techno wizard Maurizio, noise/breakcore sound-terrorist Alec Empire, ambient IDM duo Mouse On Mars, and producer Jammin’ Unit. You also get a typically deep and esoteric piece by Bill Laswell, a very early track from Brooklyn’s Spectre (aka Skiz Fernando, founder of the WordSound label), Martin himself remixing a song by Appalachian folk weirdo Will Oldham, and much more — two dozen tracks sprawling out for more than two hours of dark atmospheres and rumbling bass.
