Burnt Friedman & the Nu Dub Players - Just Landed

Re-issue of Burnt Friedman & the Nu Dub Players' debut album from February 2000. This CD includes three bonus tracks from the 12" Do Not Legalize It! (previously only available on vinyl). Recorded at a secret sonic hide-away on a Great Barrier Island just off the New Zealand coast Just Landed is the masterwork of five gunslingers of the gargantuan groove: Burnt Friedman (programmer, producer and engineertician), Crucial Guenther (brain surgeon of boom and bass bandito from Berlin), DJ Booth (and his phenomenal home made effects-in-a-suitcase-rig), Bernie the Bolt (drums n' perc.) and Cousin of the Sausage Smearer (gat twanger and meat meister extraordinaire). Having made his name as conductor for top pop combos Nonplace Urban Field, SMC and Flanger, those who associate his work with plunderous programming, brittle electronics and Latin-tinged lullabies may be surprised. Just Landed is a dub-soaked melange of misappropriated mischief and endless echo. Complex rhythms from Bernie the Bolt and his feverish funhouse of hot jerk perc. Collide with the inter-planetary thud of low-end loosehead, Guenther. The shadowy C.O.S.S. rubs tangential tones while DJ Booth the revolutionary record-changer reveals hidden talents at the keys. Friedman harnesses the wild energy and wickedness concocting a rub-a-dub relief that belongs in a different class to all the would-be King Scrubbys, Prince Clammys and Sad Professors. Feel free to fraternize, socialize, scrutinize or disorganize but please don't even think about attempting to sterilize, neutralize, terrorize or legalize!
