Upwellings - Ascend FLAC

I have been asked many times to sell this CD. That’s because this mid tempo, dub techno masterpiece is so crisp and beautifully produced. It really should get reissued with extra tracks or a double CD set.

Finally managed to pick up a copy of this elusive album and complete my ZeECc collection =) Excellent abstract dubby techno!

Music that brings a welcome experimental fusion of dub-tech genres including classic Basic Channel dub-techno, early Kit Clayton minimalism dub-tech, and even elements of Pole twitchy delicate sound sonics and blips. Even occasionally surprising you with moments of funky Geoff White dub-tech microhouse. Overall the album does not stick to one fixed dub style or dub-techno direction as tracks vary pace and are a bit more experimental with its formula; though still remain close and mostly to dub-tech/techno. A few ambientish and abstract tracks are also added changing the mood of the mood of the album but fit well with the rest of the albums funny style. ASCEND's is a album with a combination that can be deep at times, head-nodding groovy at times, and even ambient experimental at times - yet all work well together while also pacing the album well that will appeal to both dub-techno followers, yet appealing for those who enjoyed quality minimalism micro-dub-tech of post Kit-Clayton, Pole, Geoff White era. 8/10
