Brain Damage
Spoken Dub Manifesto, Vol. 1
Composed by the two founders of the label Bangarang, that duo rapidly imposed its own style based on emo-dubambient. They never stopped improving their touch by tours and collaborations. Their mastery of stereophony, and optimal use of technology allow them to renew the concept invented in Jamaica by the end of the last century. On this third album, Brain Damage keeps surprising us. With their legendary precision, the duo suggests here a personal interpretation of "Dub Poetry", a kind of music invented in the late 70s in Jamaica by Prince Far I, LKJ, or Oku Onura. Among many others. Created around the concept of spoken word (recited poetry and not sung) that spoken dub manifest is the result of at least 11 collaborations with vocalists/poets/writers with different origins and sensibilities.
