Imagine a soulless, post-apocalyptic world where a lack of musical vibrations has twisted universal karma in all the wrong ways. Then imagine that a few deviant, bass-happy, neo-funk cowboys, led by Colonel Bill Laswell, come along and teleport the whole planet to a new consciousness through some wickedly eerie, thump-heavy music. That's what Dubadelic's Bass Invaders is all about. Sound weird? It is. But it's also some of the most original, cross-genre music around. Picking up where 2000: A Bass Odyssey left off, these high priests of bass, now joined by Ted Parsons, remix the sacred sounds of down-home funk, trance and off-the-Richter scale dub to come up with a truly sanctified groove. Get ready to be transported to the next dimension.
