Eyesight Project
The crew at the fledgling Modus Vivendi Music imprint sent this one over to me a little while back and it seems like it would be a great follow-up to yesterday's Deadbeat post. Less minimal and electronicially stoic but still deep and dubby, the Eyesight Project represents the more worldly side of dub, it being an intentionally inclusive project combining likeminded musicians from different genres collaborating together. I had the good fortune later on to learn that our friend Steve Branson aka Saru has recently done a remix for the project. "Imagination" becomes immediately familiar as soon as the Jah Faith-provided, Carole King "Fire an Rain" vocals drop in, soon to be replaced by a few bars from the chorus of The Temptations 1971 hit "Just My Imagination" (hence the title of the track). It's less of a remix than a sort of vocal improvisation that beefens up the thick melange of leisurely paced world beats and electronics. Nice stuff and certainly a label to look out for in the future. Resources
