The developing landscapes of dub continue to help people. Sounds that heal and teach don't have to be didactic to get a message across and that's what is Dub Never Sleeps.

Not enough good can be said of Dub Asylum's work here. The project of Peter McLennan with help from fellow Picassos Bobbylon and Johnnie Pain, and mixed by Joost Langeveld, works from a good many refreshing angles. Dub Never Sleeps is ushered in with the Tui whistle on Jump Along, and flows on like her liquid groove through a plethora of sound landscapes.

The trio of tracks that follow are almighty: 'Night of Chilly Blue' has the sweetest European night prowl on its swing, and 'Dick Dale In Outer Space' comes as a Latin dub plain, bolstered by pedal steel guitar. Then on 'R U Ready?' Bobbylon emerges again over a beat as solid as Westmere brown. And there are more places on the map. McLennan's possibilities here are endless, like Paulette's vocals on 'Patience'. Listen for the additional tinkering at Kog Transmissions. Johnnie Blades RIP IT UP
