Hallucination Engine, by Material

Hallucination Engine

by Material

supported by

kingzappeth An iconic work among many gems in Bill Laswell's audio artistry. Superb dub assembly of great musicians and musical cultures with a big dose of ambience and bass extension. Just get it. Favorite track: Cucumber Slumber (Fluxus Mix).

John Cratchley Perhaps the most accomplished and fully formed work under the 'Material' moniker...it was groundbreaking upon its release, I think, and remains influential in my listening regime.

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
