Customer Reviews:

among Sherwood's finest work.......2001-08-26

Only dub fans like myself can truly appreciate the greatness of this album. This is a similar project to Mad Professor's dub deconstruction of Massive Attack's Protection. This is actually a superior effort to No Protection. The mastermind on Echo Dek is Adrian Sherwood (the prolific dubmaster behind African Head Charge, Creation Rebel, and Dub Syndicate), not the Scream. He takes the original Vanishing Point tracks and guts them, leaves a select few vocal snippets, amps up the drums and bass... in true DUB style. Highlights include "Last Train" (version of the classic "Trainspotting"), and the thunderous "Wise Blood" featuring vocals by the mighty Prince Far I. In most cases, the new versions improve on the originals. No disrespect to Primal Scream fans, but they wouldn't amount to much without great producers.

Forget those wretched Chill-Out compilations or Moby and the like, this is the real thing--a stern rebuke to the the Kenny G's of trip hop, downtempo electronica. "Echo Dek" is a very dark and trippy recording that practices at the altar of originality. I recommend it every chance I get to people who want enliven their cd collections...and are ready for it.

Are you Kidding?!?!.......2000-08-13

I am gonna make this short and sweet. ANYONE who had ever been in that, i-am-too-messed-up-to-move, state of mind...would enjoy this CD. This CD stuns every Audio sensation in your entire body. Pop it in, sit down and just enjoy!! A must own, even for non 'Scream fans..

Only for the hardcore fan.......1999-03-13

Echo Dek consists of remixes of "Vanishing Point". Some of the remixes are excellent, others merely good. But considering its 27 dollar price tag, most will be fine just owning the excellent Vanishing Point CD.

interesting and entertaining, but not essential.......2005-02-09

Obviously very expensive. Not essential for casual fans, Echo Dek features Dub reworkings of several songs from the Vanishing Point cd, the new versions created by Adrian Sherwood. But completely devoid of anything familiar from that cd - nothing in the way of lead vocals, choruses or traditional song structure. ( DUH - that's why it's called "dub" )Layers upon layers of echo laden drum and bass tracks, snippets of vocals. A few trippy sound effects here and there. Buy it if you MUST ( I did, and rather enjoy it ), but this is for serious fans and completists only.
