Bass 305 may be starting to Depart from their musical roots, but it’s not enough to justify such a dramatic album title. The only signature sounds they’ve completely abandoned are the corny hip-hop samples I was hoping they’d rid themselves of long ago and the robotic voices I was hoping they’d never mute.<\/p>\n
Even the audiologist returns on Tones<\/a>; one of the album’s two best songs and previously released on Volume Two<\/a> of the Bass Explosion series. There are also samples from Nasa space missions, though the one used as the album’s Introduction; an astronaut simply counting down and blasting off; reeks of laziness.<\/p>\n Laziness seems to play a major part of this album. The mastering is flawed; some songs sound louder than others; and some tracks, namely Industrial Computer and the Cyber Bass Woofer Test; the latter of which should’ve actually served as the background to a proper Introduction; sound like filler.<\/p>\n Mark Watson; Magic Mark from the Bass Explosion series; plays the saxophone on a few jazz songs, including an Electro (filler) version of Ocean Dance, but they sound disappointingly out of place on a Bass 305 album. Cyber Travel, which launches the album via the aforementioned Apollo blast, sounds about right.<\/p>\n 305.1<\/a>, on which the audiologist from Tones<\/a> gives a lecture about loudspeakers, is a standout. The angelic chorus conjures Does Life Exist<\/a>. It would be the album’s best song if not for the way it rhapsodizes itself two thirds in. China Doll and Dominican Moondance, despite their traveling titles, go nowhere.<\/p>\n my rating : 3 of 5<\/p>\n 1995<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bass 305 may be starting to Depart from their musical roots, but it’s not enough to justify such a dramatic album title.
