Jack Dangers and company's continuing Tino project get a
mini-showcase with Tino's Dub Select, selecting tracks from Tino's
Breaks, Vol. 5 and Tino's Breaks, Vol. 6: Hallowe'en Dub. The title
of the latter should give away the general spooky holiday-themed
nature of the collection, as do song titles like "It's Halloween
Dub," "Vampire Circus Dub," and "Lochness Monster Dub." Plenty of
drop-ins from weird Halloween records and sources -- howling
wolves, demonic cackles and the like -- make this a good soundtrack
for pumpkin carving, as does the monstrous bass unsurprisingly on
display throughout. Tino's work isn't really advancing the barriers
of dub any -- the blueprint laid down by Lee "Scratch" Perry and
many others is followed well enough on many tracks -- but then
again, there's no sense that this is the goal. Dangers has proven
himself enough of a dub fanatic over the years and Tino is, in
ways, a chance for him to relax and groove away from the Meat Beat
Manifesto name. The sly jazz-pop beats of the "It's Halloween Dub"
and the semi-loungey percussion jams of the "Vampire Circus Dub"
keep things from being one note, and suggest odd alternate pasts of
sound -- a world where Esquivel recorded in Jamaica. Where there's
a bit of a newer edge introduced, the results are pretty sharp --
"Kick It Dub," besides having an amusing drum-instruction start,
plays around with the abbreviated power of early jungle/hardcore
efforts without completely exploding. "Monster Dub" similarly hints
at 2-step while still staying within the established genre. ~ Ned
