BASS LO-RYDERS - NYTE RYDERS (NEURODISC) |
| |
"Nyte Ryders" is another best-of comp of fan-picked
tracks, this time (tyme?) representing the work of the
Bass Lo-Ryders. The comp gets off to a good start with
the moodytasty reggae grooves of "Come Wit It Mon"
before moving on to the acidy techno textures and
quick-witted and catchy beats of "10 PM," a pretty
killer track. Dub flavahs and totally hooky rhythms
move in on "Take a Low Ride," another bit of
grooviliousness, then gives way to the chilled funk of
"Summer Beats." Catch the buzz and ride the melodic
prettycisms of "Aphrodisiac" (taking a cue from the
title and imagining this one is mmmmmmm ...). "All
Your Bass Are Belong to Us" carries us via a
progressive little intro into some chilled but
energetic breakbeats while "Boomin' Da Bass Bins" is a
trip to Hip-Hopsville. "The Beat Kicks and I Start
Rockin'" is a slice of high energy, acidic techno with
lotsa punch. Or you can groove to the drum and bass
antics of "Speakerblower." "Boom Attack" puts us back
in the vicinity of reggae influences and "Interface"
is a pretty slice of electronica. "Our God In A Way Is
Bass" is an atmospheric and progressive siren call of
effective but not pushy beats and ethereal melodies.
"Funky Breaks" hints at oblique exotica infusing
hip-hop/techno considerations. "The Perfect Beat" goes
back to big, acidy techno and "Caught in a Bass Trap"
is kind of a funky little number with quite the
personality and a dollop of houseyness. "Nyte Ryders"
is a pretty solid slab of basswork from folks who know
how to make tracks that are listenable and effective,
excess bass or not. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
