DUBMOOD - Atari-Ska L'Atakk

A smashing ChipDub-Ska-EP coming here from the ATARI tracker legend Dubmood.
Six tracks full of love for the rough Ska classics of old, bursting with sheer
virtousity and an obession for funky details. A sure winner full of hits, this
grooving beauty is bound to make you dance while grinning from ear to ear.

The EP starts off with a great version of the Skatalites-classic "Exodus" (who
in turn took the theme from E. Gold's oscar winning movie score), followed up
by a fine Liberators-cover. A top "Monkey Island" dub, featuring the legendary
title theme by Michael Z. Land, is around too. The Maytals' "Pressure Drop",
later covered by punk-rocker icons The Clash (among others), is followed by
the highly addictive "VodSka-Dance", featuring some popular Russian folk lore.
Most notably THIS alltime classic. A tune you'll whistle along for days - so
beware! The final track is a collab with chiptunes roots rocker GOTO 80, a
remix of it can be found on his "_2_4x4"-EP over HERE. See all details below.

For the technically interested: all songs were tracked by Dubmood on the
Atari 1040 STfm in maxYMizer, made by gwEm, using the YM2149 soundchip. That
is, 4bit sound on 3 channels, one squarewave generator and one noisegenerator
on a 16bit 8mhz machine with 1mb of RAM and no samples used!

Ska! Ska! Ska!
