dubnobasswithmyheadman

dubnobasswithmyheadman was the first rave record with a narrator. Karl Hyde's stream-of-consciousness babble runs through Rick Smith's endlessly shifting loops on 'Cowgirl', 'Dirty Epic' and 'Dark & Long', fusing the energy of the floor with the interiority of a song cycle. Every rock-into-dance hybrid since owes it something. Its ambition would place it in the top three; two slightly weaker tracks in the back half hold it at six.
