Rude Audio & Dan Wainwright’s ‘Psychedelic Science’
Despite the time crunch, one can’t overlook ‘Psychedelic Science’, a sprawling dub journey masterminded by Rude Audio and Dan Wainwright. It’s an album that pushes boundaries, deftly balancing between cerebral introspection and danceable grooves, perfect for both the solitude of home and the energy of the club.
Their electronic dance music roots show through, with a sound that has made waves in the playlists. Yet, it’s their innovative exploration of dub that shines, particularly in the unforgettable ‘Fire On The Mountain’ and the rhythmically intricate ‘El Qasr Dub’.
One can’t finish this review without mentioning the ten-minute cover of Bowie’s ‘Heroes’, featuring the vocals of counterculture luminary Ken Babbs. It’s a record that demands attention, culminating in the epic, 18-minute ‘Patience Dub (A Prog Odyssey)’.
