THE LOW DOWN:
Jamaram concerts are a blast. Their unique mix of every style that grooves and moves has brought countless festival and club visitors to sheer ecstasy. But the band also
knows how to be subtle, as proven on their new album "Jamaram in Dub" which is just as driving and indulging as the four previous albums.
Reggae is the main foundation that the eight musicians use as a base, whilst constantly utilizing influences to further enrich their sound. The album "Jameleon" is a good example
for the incredible impact that Africa had on the Jamaram Band. Other bands don't often succeed in molding such a variety of genres into a homogenous soundscape. "Jamaram in Dub" takes it to the
next level by remixing the Jamaram-Sound completely in Dub.
This really shows the musical quality of the band, because Dub doesn't strictly mean reduction to only Drum & Bass. It leaves room for a focus on detail that the listener might miss in "regular" songs.
Fans of the previous albums will experience their favorite songs in brand new arrangements. "Newcomers" will have an album that plays with all facets of Dub and will possibly be introduced to a new world
of sound.
The typical if not trade mark versatility of the band is proven once again on "Jamaram in Dub". Carried by a constant reggae groove the remixes lead you through very differentiated styles and epochs of
Dub. "Jamaram in Dub" contains everything that Dub has to offer. From reminiscences of the early Jamaican masters with their crazy delay-frenzies to psychedelic influences all the way to the steppers-style
of the "British School". And so the album is good for contemplation, for the lounge, but it works just as well in the clubs, giving the sub-woofers plenty of work as well as the dancers in the dancehall.
The fourteen tracks are made up of a selection of carefully handpicked songs from the last four albums and three brand-new songs (What Do You Mean Dub, Just A Little Dub, Hookah Dub). Mixed by the devoted and
loyal Jamaram-producer Umberto Echo who set new standards for Dub-music in Germany with his albums "Dubtrain" and "Dub the World". Now he has helped his fellow colleagues of Jamaram to move to a brand new
sound dimension.
