The Kode9 album is v. good, except for the old dubby tracks which I find increasingly boring.

I think this is probably why I take issue with the statement so much. I just can't seem to get on with Blackdown. He knows what he's talking about but I don't like the style of his writing or his productions and tend to disagree with a lot of his opinions.

On the other hand a lot of great music could also fit that description.
I wonder if Martin likes any opulent laidback stuff? I'm trying to imagine if he would like the Jazzanova remix of MJ Cole's "Sincere", for instance.

I'm interested to work out what you/we mean when you/we say "coffee table" - there's an implied er homeliness to the criticism perhaps.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 14 September 2006 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link
It also signals the implied "musican" mindstate that producers often fall into when they make an album. "I know, if I make a 'jazzy' track, people will respect me as a 'proper musician.'"
Anyway it would be sad and wrong to focus soley on this track on the Skream LP, let alone at the expense of Kode 9's great LP too. The Skream LP has some killers on it, most of all the rarely effective grime/dubstep interaction the JME vocal of "Tapped."

maybe it's that the paranoid & alienated vibe Tricky was riffing on seemed out of step or far-fetched/weed-induced back in 1995, but now the world has caught up with his postmodern dread by going to absolute shit politically speaking, it seems totally fitting and nessecary? I like this album though, it is very trip-hop to my ears but not in a retro/lazy way.

I dunno about cheapo and rickety, I thought "Maxinquaye" was going for that slowly disintegrating sound junkyard feeling, it came out a bit more pop than I think he was happy with in retrospect (going by interviews anyway) but I think it was a stab at organised chaos much more than what gekoppel describes. This Kode 9 record feels much more zesty and spare. Maybe it's the fruityloops treble?

B-b-b-but listen to drum'n'bass from '96 and you see that paranoia everywhere (esp. techstep)! The fear of the future the future the future + BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU + dread millenialism was everywhere at the time.

Gek i dont know if you read the Wire interview with Kode but interestingly he mentions how much he liked Wiley and Jammer's Sinogrime experiements exactly because they sounded cheapo and perhaps rickety...

only heard this kode 9 album a few times but i find the production a bit 'small' and budget. im all for being low fi and not glossy but that doesnt mean it has to be cheapo.

Is there such a thing as an instrumental version of this? The music's generally excellent, but the Spaceape (if that is his real name) gets seriously grating after a track or two. He's good in the odd guest spot, but really not for a whole LP.

Dubstep's crossover bid-- whether James Blake's introspective fragility or Katy B's pop hybridization-- is starting to obscure one of the genre's initial strengths: the way it could transmit anxiety.

Damn. Absolutely awful news here:

We are devastated to announce that on Thursday 2nd October, Stephen Samuel Gordon aka The Spaceape, vocalist, poet and live performer, passed away peacefully after a 5 year struggle with a rare form of cancer. He leaves behind his wife Luciana and 6 year old daughter, Cleo. His first release was the 1st release on Hyperdub, 'Sine of the Dub' in 2004 with Kode9, with whom he also released 2 albums, Memories of the Future (2006) and Black Sun (2011). In 2012 he also self-released the Xorcism EP, appeared on the track 'Spaceape' on Burial's debut album in 2006, and also collaborated with The Bug, Martyn, Jerry Dammers, Redshape, Dub Gabriel, the Echologist and more. Last Monday he released his new EP with Kode9, 'Killing Season' including the video 'Devil is a Liar' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dtc4Y4Xyjo which was filmed in July 2014. Our sincere condolences go out to his family and friends, and all who have been touched by his writings and performances. His Hyperdub family will always miss him.

In about 2004 I saw a poster for a Kode9 and Daddi Gee (which is what Spaceape was calling himself then) show. I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I didn't bother and it's one of my big musical regrets
Also I'm listening to Dubstep Allstars 3 again and I'd forgotten how awesome it is

listened back to this album recently and it's melancholic sci-fi London vibes really pleases me, feel it has aged better than burial's stuff, from that time. Spaceape's mumbly bleakness fits the mood so well
