Label: Mute
Reissued 2020, Originally released 1998
Stefan Betke AKA Pole's holy trilogy of frayed dub experiments resurfaces for a 20th anniversary reissue, taking us back to smokey nights at the turn of the century and some of the finest post basic-channel dub echoes ever released. Essential listening if you're into anything from Rhythm & Sound to Vainqueuer, Jon Hassell to Jackie Mittoo. The Pole aesthetic is patently laid out in 1, where his organic clicks 'n pops come out to play accompanied by lilting organ and jazzy bass channelling Jackie Mittoo via Jon Hassell and Rhythm & Sound into a uniquely, gauzy, gaseous state.
