| | Live In The Earth (Sandoz In Dub Chapter 2) CD - Import Sandoz Discography of CDs
Richard H. Kirk, who currently records under the name Sandoz, was a founding member of the legendary Sheffield band Cabaret Voltaire in the early '70s. Originally a punk band and then an experimental electronic outfit, Cabaret Voltaire was hugely influential on both sides of the Atlantic. As a solo artist, though, Kirk has shown a marked affinity for the dubwise reggae of King Tubby, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Scientist, and his second album under the Sandoz name finds him paying tribute to those forebears with a program of solid, if not exactly groundbreaking, electronic dub. The album opens on an underwhelming note with the rather pedestrian "Africa (Jahsay)," but quickly picks up speed with the horn-laden "Monopolize and Destroy," and with "Strike Fire," which is built on a sort of modified rockers beat complete with flying cymbals. "Civilisation Means Manners (Means Discipline)" is a fine Afrocentric treat, and "Sit in Judgment" offers the album highlight with its fiery horn offbeats. "Spiritual Communication" comes across as a bit cold and sterile, and "I and I Meditation" is just an alternate mix (and not a particularly exciting one) of "Africa (Jahsay)." But "Thousand Year Dread" finishes things off with a bang, with a more complex and faintly nyahbinghi-influenced percussion sound. Not bad at all. ~ Rick Anderson
2006 album of electonic and digital dub and reggae from legendary post-punk pioneer Richard H. Kirk (Cabaret Voltaire). Since 1992, Kirk has been using the name Sandoz and in 2002 released ''Sandoz in Dub-Chant to Jah'' on Soul Jazz Records, an album of electronics mixed with reggae and dub. ''Live in This Earth'' is the second chapter in Richard Kirk's journey into the heart of Dub. Taking his influences from dub producers King Tubby, Lee Perry, Scientist and more, Kirk has mixed these sounds together with his trademark electronic experimentation to produce a remarkable album. Soul Jazz.
