What a great album this is. Best shit I've heard in a while. I can't go back to listening to any old boring dub techno anymore. This guy (Moeller) shows how's it's done right here. Dub Techno + Vocal track = match made in heaven. I honestly think dub techno is nothing now without vocals. You have to check this album out for yourselves if you haven't.

1, 6, and 9 are my favs. this album could've been something really great if he didn't use 6 black male vocalists with the same vocal styling (ragga ish) singing in almost the same key throughout the whole thing. most of the tracks they're not even singing, just talking. what about female singers? and the lyrics in every track have almost the same message drilled into my head over and over ok i get it 2012, doom, change is coming, i get it talk about something else already! sheesh.

that's the whole point lol
have you ever heard dub music?
check out all the releases on the rhythm and sound label as well.
vocal manipulation/remixing was invented with dub music, though it doesn't necessarily require it.

Yes I know. I guess that's why it sounds so good. But there are plenty of people these days making dub techno which I already thought was boring (like Claro Intellecto, for example) and now I think they're even more boring. It just sounds empty.

Listen to Lulu Rouge for the female vocals + dub combination. They are actually very good, too. One of the guys behind it is DJ T.O.M who's collaborated with Trentemoller.
Haven't heard this Beat Pharmacy album yet, but I'm definitely planning to do it soon. Love both Tikiman & Spaceape.
