Artist:	DUB SPENCER & TRANCE HILL
Title:	Nitro
Label:	ECHO BEACH (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	EB 057CD

This is the debut full-length release from Swiss trio Dub Spencer & Trance Hill (Adrian Pflugshaupt, Marcel Stalder and Christian Niederer) on Echo Beach. Though they are self-proclaimed heroes of the spaghetti western hills, you won't find syrupy country tunes on Nitro, instead they indulge in space echo and plate reverb at the drop on '3'. Dub Spencer & Trance Hill roll into town armed with heavy reggae grooves and space electro sounds, all carried by pumping bass lines that almost hypnotically clear the path and gently caress your innards. Expect a wagon-load of live, laid-back, instrumental, almost psychedelic reggae, played with virtuosity, washed-out grooves, breaks, hints of other tracks, and all so thrillingly slooooow that they're sure to lose any shootout. Also find shuffling drums, warm bass lines, a gentle backbeat piano and lots and lots of echo. You could easily compare Dub Spencer & Trance Hill with Scorn meets King Tubby meets Joshua Redman. This is one wild, loping pony ride.

Title:	Return of the Supercops
Label:	ECHO BEACH (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	EB 063CD

This is the second full-length release from Swiss trio Dub Spencer & Trance Hill (Adrian Pflugshaupt, Marcel Stalder and Christian Niederer) on Echo Beach. Monster dub spaghetti Western enters the second round: on Return Of The Supercops, these asphalt cowboys delve even deeper into the essence of dub, but at the same time manage to amp up the rock element. Psychedelic, instrumental reggae tunes are interrupted by poisonously piercing guitars, country sections are transformed into darkly limping grooves, sleepy dubby beats morph into pounding trance. And everything is driven relentlessly forward by a pumping bass line that almost hypnotically clears the path to the center and gently caresses the stomach. In 2006, Dub Spencer & Trance Hill unleashed their debut on to the prairies of the German and European music press and caused quite a dust storm. Nitro got top marks from countless magazines and was voted "Dub Album of the Month" by the German reggae Bible, Riddim. Cowboy up!
