Kaly Live Dub
Lightin' The Shadows
Deeply rooted in reggae, this burning double album also shows the bands ability to learn from diverse and eclectic influences. Opening his views to new musical experiments, the gang from Lyon goes far beyond reverbs and delays : electro-friendly, the first disc is made of haunting and crawling tracks, raised here and there with some Wobble Bass ("In Case", "The brown Noise"), or spreading an ecstatic astonishment ("Lightin the Shadows"). Hip-Hop is also given a first-rank place with the stunning "Conflicts", carried by the singular and punchy flow of K-the-I??? (from Big Dada). Within the exploration of these new-sounding fields, the bands artistic signature remains : the fundamental basis is a warm, vibrant and organic sound, played live by talented musicians. The second part of the album is designed to fill worldwide Sound Systems with contentment. Faithful to his roots, the band displays a boiling and shiny dub, used as the basis for musical ramblings and psychedelic journeys. For example, the magnificent "Wackies", stretched-out plentiful soundtrack for maze-like daydreams, or the dub-by-the-book "Peaceful Warrior" and "What a Life", respectively sung by Joe Pilgrim and Bigga Ranx, bringing their brilliant energy to this plentiful record.
