NTTR - No Time to Review

Ghost Dubs' Damaged is a compelling exploration of ambient dub, characterized by ultra-low sub-bass, crackling textures, and minimalist compositions. Michael Fiedler, known for his work as Jah Schulz, distills dub into a wispy, wraithlike form, creating a sound that is both haunting and refined. Tracks like "The Regulator" and "Dub Lobotomy" showcase his ability to transform traditional dub elements into abstract, immersive soundscapes. Critics praise the album's intensity and the seamless fusion of ambient and dub techno influences, positioning Damaged as a significant contribution to the genre.

Fergus Jones's Ephemera is a debut album that seamlessly blends ambient dub and electronica, reflecting his evolution from his previous work as Perko. The album features collaborations with artists like Huerco S., James K, and Koreless, enriching its textured soundscapes. Critics have noted the album's nostalgic spirit, reminiscent of '90s and '00s Scottish electronica, with a romantic and soothing vibe. Tracks such as "Heima" and "It Should Be (Free)" highlight Jones's ability to create poetic and subtle compositions. Overall, Ephemera is a promising and tactfully blissed return by one of the underground’s key, if liminal, hyper-connectors.
