Electric Tones

Electric Tones 5678 is divided equally between Opiate, and Amsterdam-based musician, Ricardo Avocado - included together here, perhaps, because both acts were experimenting with aspects of Dub aesthetics.

The remaining pair of compositions making up this EP included, an abstract contribution from Noriko, the recording name of Newcastle DJ, James Postlethwaite.

And, playing the collection out was the reappearance of the Bomb The Bass name - for the first time in 9 years - courtesy of a Christian Kleine remix of Clear Cut featuring Lali Puna (the latter of which has since become a much sought after rarity).

Avacado's work continued to mine the possibilities of melding contemporary Electronica with the Dub aesthetic, illustrating a clear progression of his compositional manifesto from Electric Tones 5678.

Kumo And Friends would feature three tracks, and spotlight the progressive compositional talents of the one-time child violinist and electronic music student, who at one time or another had previously worked with the likes of The Shamen, Robert Owens, Ian McCulloch and BJ Cole.

In February 2008, came the announcement that Tim Simenon was reinstating Bomb The Bass to active mainstream duties, with the intended release of a new album, Future Chaos.

As of March 2008, the track Butterfingers was featured along with a promotional video on the Bomb The Bass Myspace page - suggesting that the song will be a single release ahead of Future Chaos.
