		burnt friedman & the nu dub players
just landed Re-release of Burnt Friedman & The Nu Dub Players' debut album "just landed" is coming out august 31st 2007. The CD includes the tracks from the 12inch "do not legalize it!" (sc003). From the far-flung corners of the world with a firm focus on heaving bass and rimshot rattling percussion Scape Records are proud to present Burnt Friedman and the Nu Dub Players. Recorded at a secret sonic hide-away on a Great Barrier Island just off the New Zealand coast "Just Landed" is the masterwork of five gunslingers of the gargantuan groove. Burnt Friedman - programmer, producer and enginerrtician Crucial Guenther - brain surgeon of boom and bass bandito from Berlin DJ Booth- and his phenomenal home made effects-in-a-suitcase-rig Bernie the Bolt - the Golden Shot of drums´n´perc Cousin Of The Sausage Smearer - gat twanger and meat meister extrordinaire Having made his name as conductor for top pop combos Drome, Nonplace Urban Field, SMC and Flanger, Burnt Friedman has summoned up new powers to bring this delightfully dubwise crew together. Those who associate his work with plunderous programming, brittle electronics and Latinged lullabies may be surprised find that it is within the dub soaked melange of misappropriated mischief and endless echo that the smouldering one is most at home. Reining in the individual skills of each of his semi-psychotic sidekicks and channeling them through the mixing desk Burnt ensures that the Nu Dubs highly skilled musical mutterings don´t turn out as a pile of muso wank, this truly is like nothing else you´ve ever heard. Complex rhythms from Bernie the Bolt and his feverish funhouse of hot jerk perc collide with the inter-planetary thud of low-end loosehead Guenther. The shadowy C.O.S.S. ready rubs tangential tones while DJ Booth the revolutionary record-changer reveals hidden talents on his knees at the keys. Friedman harnesses the wild energy and wanton wickedness concocting a rub-a-dub relief that belongs in a different class to all the would-be King Scrubbys, Prince Clammys and Sad Professors. Those seeking slacker sensi soaked lazeedub can apply elsewhere because the Nu Dubs get jiggy without it. Feel free to fraternize, socialize, scrutinize or disorganize but please don´t even think about attempting to sterilize, neutralize, terrorize or legalize!
