I picked
this disc up from roadie Maharajah when Vibewise was performing at
Copley. It was the day of the SEIU protests and after being
stopped by Boston's Undercover Detectives for carring a scary looking
bag full of Haters Magazines, I followed a ragtag bunch of anarcho-scum
to Copley Square.
To my surprise and delight, Vibewise was kicking out a free contact
high of righteous dub. They were playing "Creole Woman" and this
track is not only great live, it is blazed into my dome as the best
track on the album. The rest of the album bangs too. This
group has been busting its ass around the yard for a long time, and is
now officially recognized for their efforts.
Composed of Domus, Ajahni, Zach Monroe, Donny Jones, and P-Nut,
Vibewise is a great blend of electronic and analog riddim, acidic
guitar and deceptively simple dub vocals. This crew is a master
of effects. Dig the bone crushing tracks as well as the slow
tracks. I mean it. Listen to Vibewise.
