Description

Full album of Slugabed - Time Team, screen captured while playing in RX7 Advanced to show the spectral content.

Listen to Time Team by Slugabed on Deezer.

Asked to explain Time Team, Feldwick responds that it's to do with deep feelings about mostly inexpressible things. It is indeed an album full of feeling and warmth and humor, a remarkable feat for a record composed mainly on synthesisers and drum machines. You will be hearing a lot more of Slugabed. Something witty about crystals or whatever nonsense we were banging on about earlier. Time Team by Slugabed. Released 7th May 2012.

Slugabed is ready to release his debut album, Time Team. Real name Gregory Feldwick, Slugabed is an artist from Bath who just debuted three years ago, but has already made the rounds on some of bass music's most forward-thinking labels: first Ramp Recordings, then Planet Mu, and finally Ninja Tune, who will be releasing Time Team. RA's Andrew Ryce once dubbed his sound a "stomping mix of video game textures and ultra-compressed sawtooth bass

Time Team represents Greg Feldwick’s debut album as Slugabed, and it would seem that the British producer’s early promise has been delivered in some style. Those aware of his releases since 2009 on the Stuff, Ramp and Planet Mu labels or the recent spotters’ delight that was the white-label-only, ragged electro-funk remix of Busta Rhymes’ Dangerous, may know what to expect. That said, Slugabed’s approach dictates that any expectations should always remain wide open. Often labelled as dubstep, refreshingly there isn’t a clichéd farting bassline to be heard anywhere on Time Team.

But looking out at eight moons would be really beautiful, so I can lose myself in the tasteful aphorisms of "Unicorn Suplex" and "Climbing a Tree"'s Books-y niceties

Slugabed joins Ninja Tune with TIME TEAM, and as the layered whirling of "New Worlds" starts, you can hear the sonic density accumulate, though "Sex" has much cleaner sound as it dives into the 80s electro. The more delicate "All This Time" hints at some introspection in its short run time before it gives over to the grimy-bassed "Moonbeam Rider." Meanwhile, the chopped-vocals of "Travel Sweets" transitions into the glossy neon charms of "Unicorn Suplex" before "Dragon Drums" brings the tempo down. There's often a definite psychedelic edge to these tracks, like the orchestral build and fade of "Mountains Come Out Of The Sky" or the 70s sitcom vibe of "Grandma Paints Nice." The dreamy softness of "Climbing a Tree" sounds like distilled childhood, and "It's When The Future Falls Plop On Your Head" closes the album on a more abstract note. Ninja Tune, idiosyncratic as ever, is the right team this time.

Track # 8 "Mountains Come Out Of The Sky" features a very cool sampling of Yes' song Roundabout from Close to the Edge: "In and around the lake / Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there."

Thanks for the detail! That track is a stand out track on this album and one of my favorite "cheerful" electronic music pieces. By the way, I have this album in a digipak form. I wonder if it's all digipak?
