ReviewsRolling Stone (10/3/96, p.74) - 3-1/2 Stars - Good/Excellent - "...What at first seems difficult to digest becomes more intriguing and intimidating with time--like an Escher drawing. The more you listen, the more you hear....The second disc is the pop-art coup de grace...ultraedited ambient excursions that veer well into get-out-the-butterfly-nets sonic territory..." Alternative Press (8/96, p.80) - 4 (out of 5) - "...seduces with more elastic funk grooves, dubbier bass lines and more exotic embellishments (theremin, Mellotron, waterphone, bass clarinet, e bow, etc.)....the dub funk that predominates will more likely chill your marrow than ignite a disco inferno..." Option (9-10/96, pp.120-121) - "...With beats as his bread, he piles on layers of samples, electronics, guitar, vocals and more in this danceable double-decker....Dangers has a better grasp of craft, melody and dynamics than any of his industrial-disco peers....a pulsating carosel of sound..." Melody Maker (5/11/96, p.48) - "Forget all those `Now That's What I Call Trip Hop' compilations. Forget also all the half-arsed post-modern samplist outfits who regurgitate large chunks of old soundtrack albums, couch it in cod theatrical mystique and are thought of as weird by people who play the album at dinner parties. Meat Beat Manifesto is back..." NME (Magazine) (6/8/96, p.51) - 8 (out of 10) - "...Tricky-esque trip-hop, blissed out atmospherics, industrial hip-hop beats....jarring, infectious....the perfect party tape for the oncoming apocalypse..."
Additional informationMeat Beat Manifesto: Jack Dangers (vocals, bass, waterphone, bass clarinet, Mellotron, Theremin, synthesizer, samples, turntables, dishes). Additional personnel: Hell Louise (vocals); Jonny Stephens (guitar, synthesizer); Joe Gore (guitar); Mark Pistel (Moog synthesizer, synthesizer, E bow, Theremin); Arjan MacNamara, Lee Walker, Philip Steir (synthesizer); Ben Stokes (percussion); Mike Powell (Theremin, background vocals); John Wilson (feedback generator). Recorded in San Francisco, California; London, England and Chicago, Illinois. Sounding like virtually none of his contemporaries (except perhaps Future Sound of London), Jack Dangers puts industrial textures to work as a mask for intense vocal samples and breakbeat rhythms plus the occasional organic instrument like guitar and even clarinet. Though Subliminal Sandwich sprawls a bit over the course of its two discs (much like FSOL's Lifeforms), it only rarely fails to excite. ~ John Bush
