It’s hip-hop. No-- it’s dub! No-- it’s that kinda stuff the Chemical Brothers and Fat Boy Slim make, but more chill. No-- It's dub again! But there’s hip-hop in it?!? Aw, crap. Fuck it! This CD is fun. Hella fun. And it’s all over the place, which suits this schizophrenic just fine.
See, the thing about all that music is it mimics the human heartbeat with the drums, you know? There’s always a constant beat to sync up with your pulse, no matter how fast or how slow the tempo may be, which makes for easy dancing. And that’s perfect, because if I were gonna set up a street party and invite people from miles and miles to come and dance away the impending apocalyptic doom on the horizon, this would be the only disc I’d need to play. Even at its most mellow, you’ll be bobbing your head or shaking your ass.
Funny thing is, it’s also the CD I’d play after we survive the apocalypse, too. It’s got that air of doom and gloom, wholly blended with the sweet aroma of survival and triumph.
So, if you dig gettin’ down with the occasional dub break for deep contemplation, cop this disc: Six Million Ways to Live. The Dub Pistols are the band. Horace Andy, Terry Hall (yes, the Terry Hall), Planet Asia, and the Sight Beyond Light Crew are the guests. And if “Architect” doesn’t make you get up and shake your shit, you’re probably thought the war in Iraq was a good thing.
