XLR8R.com, Ticklah vs. Axelrod >>
In any musical movement , there's bound to be a handful of individuals who act as an unseen driving force- the navigators who set the musical sextant and guide the ship. As America's rekindled love for organic funkiness has grown. Victor "Ticklah" Axlerod had led those sounds, from the mid - 90's heyday of Stubborn Records to Easy Star's Dub Side of the Moon. But on Vs.- a battle in dub reggae against his own perfectionism and self- doubt- Ticklah provides a graffito-that-should-be: "Dub's Not Dead." Wuth deeply funky yet subtle dubs, full of the elusive qualities that keep fans returning to Kieth Hudson or King Tubby, Ticklah warps reggae, ska, latin and African material with a welath of musical history and new ideas. This is strong but accessible music that could please the pot leaf t-shirt crowd and proper enthusiasts alike. Utterly brilliant. - Justin Hopper 12/01/07
