Together with kindred spirits Dub Spencer & Trance Hill, Umberto Echo has been expanding the horizons of the dub universe for some years now. Echo is not afraid to cross the boundaries of the genre and besides dub and reggae the tracks on 'Elevator Dubs' also contain influences from jazz, dubstep, ambient and even afrobeat. The album opens with a jazzy interpretation of Ernest Ranglin's 'Surfin', but continues with a solid serving of Brazilian dubstep with 'Bonde De Irmao'. The album goes afrobeat with 'Obroni International' and 'Water Get No Enemy' is Umberto's take on Fela's eponymous hit. Dub and reggae fans will enjoy 'Tomorrow Now Dub', 'The Power Dub' and definitely 'Faro Dub' (in which yours truly believes thought to recognize Earl Sixteen's voice). Final track 'Roman Baths' featuring vocals by Gian Slater could have been the new release by The Cardigans. Eclectic release!
