Doubting Thomas is a defunct, instrumental, side project composed of Dwayne and cEvin. As far as side projects are concerned, “The Infidel” is one of the best to come out of the bunch. cEvin and Ogre’s solo work are not easy to digest, so I highly suggest picking this up. Dark electronic music flat out fascinates me.
The project is Industrial at heart but incorporates elements of Ambient, Break-Beat, and IDM. In fact, it is not far off from a “Download” album.
The new Massive Attack LP is a long awaited return to form. Their previous effort, “100th Window”, was received as a bland solo effort. To be quite honest, it was. Two of the founding members had bailed, and the sound was significantly different.
With “Heligoland”, the duo brings back the sounds and textures more akin to “Protection” and “Mezzanine”. While the album is fantastic, it is no “Mezzanine” killer. It took three members to create Mezzanine, and we’re still one short.
If you don’t know Massive Attack, think again. You’ve already heard their music.
Awesome is relative. Nothing compares to the unique beauty of Utah.
