Ryan Moore's Twilight Circus Dub Sound System looks back to an era before the insistant rockers, then digitised rhythms came forth. Moore has a knack for capturing early roots sensibilities: pillowy bass, little melodic hooks and shuffled syncopation. On top of the fundamental rhythm, Moore always adds the right kind of sweetness---echo-y bells, melodica or sparse, but warm lead guitar. His ability to blend new technology with his own in-the-pocket playing creates a classic, but not retro sound. It is the same story with his bass lines; they hint at, but never imitate the founding fathers of dub. Individual tracks such as the title cut and "Wareika," his tribute to the late Augustus Pablo, are majestic, headphone-crushing rhythms. (M) -David Dacks EXCLAIM!
