from the LP Fear of a Green Planet, Lion & Roots Records, 1998Have I mentioned lately my deep love of the hashish…? I know, I know, “how many more times can this dude post about his affection for the full-melt bubble?!” It’s just so extraordinary to me how many different ways you can consume marijuana, and that extra kick to the dome-piece one receives from indulging in hash or kief sometimes swiftly reminds us that, indeed, THC is a drug (it’s easy for a chronic user to forget this). “This one will lift you higher than high…” Along with being a potential advertising campaign slogan for high-grade hash oil, that’s also the promise of producer Adrian Sherwood & his veteran collective Dub Syndicate, who have been melting heady minds since the mid ‘80s with their brand of progressive dub atmospherics; I must say, those solemn violins really do take things to the next level for me.
