Overtone, Give It Again - Redbud
---2 1/2 stars out of 3---
An array of mind-boggling keyboard sounds are laid out before us on this experimental electronic jazz performance.
'Dublicate Dub It Again Mix' does exactly what it says on the packaging, offering up an electronic Jamaican dub
track, tailor-made for smokers 'n' tokers. The 'Inverse Cinematics Mix' on the other hand could be busted under the
Trades Description Act. There is nothing Cinematic about this mix, it's just a firing beats 'n' fuzzy keyboard clash
that twists and turns constantly. The IC beats is a stripped-down version of the last mix, highlighting
the great beats. The Original could be mistaken for a Dutch techno track played at 33rpm instead of 45 rpm with
its slurred hoovering sounds. The 'Dither Down Mix' is a sloppy and lame groove, which is a very poor cousin to the
infinitely phatter 'IC Beats'.

Overtone, Give It Again - Redbud
New York 's Redbud imprint offering up an excellent record here! Ragga vocal stylings of MC Second Man are taken in
many enjoyable directions, most notably by Inverse Cinematics, who dishes up a deep and dirty duo of broken beat
mixes. Much respect to Overtone and all involved on this one.

Overtone, Give It Again - Redbud
"Redbud serves up a Raggary Dubbed up meal in the shape of "Give It Again" from Lithuanian Paulius Kilbauskas. The
original gets its strength from a vicious grimy bass, which underpins nimble beats and encouraging vocals, whilst
the 'Dither Down Mix' is a shaken guitar driven mission. Inverse Cinematics offer a fuzzy bass mix with flailing
keys and thrown drums, as the 'Dublicate Dub It Again Mix' inverts the vocals and drags out the beats over a lazy bass"
Crack Magazine
With a cracking snare and speaker-bothering bass line, Inverse Cinematics take this dubbed-out
Lithuanian groove and conjole it into a bonafide dancefloor shit-kicker. Expect purveyors of the 'broken sound' to be
hammering this one for ages.
Me first time with New York's Redbud records, and on this showing, some promise indeed. The original of 'Give It Again' is a bit too ravey for me, possessing as it does, a somewhat hoovery bassline. The 'Dither Down' version improves things with twisty acid and electro boogie rhythm, but it's Deutsche wunderkinds Inverse Cinematics that get the gold star for their remix, managing yet again to get a real swing to even the toughest of broken tech beats.
