This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
With an album title like Drumsolo’s Delight — not to mention song handles like The Jazzy Drumsolo — you might expect this disc to be a clutch of beat-crazy, tom-tom thumpin’ skin-pounders. And you’d be wrong.
This second outing by West Coast DJ Paul Dickow is an artfully executed electronica affair that deftly combines glitchy laptop textures and swirly synth washes with the submarine basslines, offbeat rhythms grooves and knob-twiddling trippiness of dub reggae. All of which might help you get your groove on — but it won’t help you get your John Bonham on.
