Why it's here

Implosion brings the Bug's low-end pressure into Ghost Dubs' cavernous dub-techno space. The collaboration is heavy without becoming blunt, with bass, echo and negative space carrying most of the drama. Half the tracks carry a venue in brackets, from Brixton to the West Indian Center in Leeds, so the record names the rooms it was built for.
