Sounds Like: "...Christiansen sweetens a dub sensibility with warm melodicism in his Mere Rum material while favouring a hazier and more instrumentally expansive mix (saxophone, melodica, glockenspiel, and kalimba, in addition to the expected bass, drums, guitars, and keys). The album's dub ambiance (the hypnotic drift of Vintertog features a mix so deep you could drown in it) is offset by its stylistic contrasts. A funky vibe and dreamy arcade melodies dominate Tedy114 while the somber dirge Tape Swamp soaks a mournful melodica and electric piano in a jungle swamp of congealing clatter. The remarkable melodica- and synth-fueled epic Vuggelise seems intent on encompassing every style, with elements of dub, ska, and jungle appearing along the way. Put simply, digi-dub has never sounded more inviting than when glockenspiels, vibes, and melodicas sing out sweet melodies in the entrancingly mellow Plus3dub." Review of "Mere Rum" in the Canadian magazine Textura - December, 2005.
