This remarkable longevity can easily be explained by the evolving nature of this musical genre, which is constantly changing both artistically and technically, from Kingston to London, New York, and more recently Berlin, Paris, Lyon and Saint-Étienne. For example, it is worth noting that for some years now, in France and elsewhere, a good number of artists have been thinking in terms of dub from the outset, breaking free from the original Jamaican model, which involved drawing inspiration almost systematically from an existing vocal track. Thirty years on, with the release of their second album, Brain Damage aim to reconnect with this tradition. Recent collaborations with the two vocalists, Learoy Green and Black Sifichi, have indeed provided the ideal source material for the creation of five tracks, each rendered in their respective dub versions, thus forming an album with a symmetrical, even geometric character - from it's very structure right down to it's title: 'Ashes to ashes \/ Dub to dub'. At the heart of the project lies the astute choice of two guests, each operating in diametrically opposed spheres yet brought together for the occasion, thereby emphasizing a certain 'unity of the circle': 'the unity of the circle'. Born of a genuine artistic vision, this geometric, symmetrical aesthetic-omnipresent in every detail of the album, both auditory and visual-complements Brain Damage's 'square' and robotic side, with it's three-dimensional evocations. Always working in close collaboration with the very latest digital technologies. This brings to mind 'the balance of the cube'. Finally, the title itself, 'Ashes to ashes \/ Dub to dub', should be understood as a reference to the transience of all things in this world, against a backdrop of widespread, globalized, international, national and local crises\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The Unity of the Circle\u003cbr\u003e2 Let Me Be\u003cbr\u003e3 My Father\u003cbr\u003e4 One Dollar\u003cbr\u003e5 The Balance of the Cube\u003cbr\u003e6 Circle Dub\u003cbr\u003e7 Dollard Dub\u003cbr\u003e8 Cube Dub\u003cbr\u003e9 Let Me Be Dub\u003cbr\u003e10 My Father Dub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003estreet date 9\/25\/2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45147462140104,"sku":"3700398740515","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4530263-3673198.jpg?v=1784761911","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/pre-order-brain-damage-ashes-to-ashes-dub-to-dub-2xlp","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
