With each release, this BC native/ Dutch resident has added a new twist to this instrumental form of Jamaican reggae, while retaining its trademarks: deep, stomach churning bass and cracking, syncophated drum beats. Whereas 1998's Dub Plate Selection was gigantic tower of sound, drenched in Middle Eastern melodies and with nods to electronica, with Horsie, Moore, whose main gig is as a member of the Legendary Pink Dots, has turned to the conventions of pop music. Guitars, which in the past were relegated to simply suppling some textural colour along with the keyboards, have been brought to the forefront with Moore drawing on the sad, meloncholic figures of Durutti Column guitarist Vini Reilly for inspiration here. Moore has even straightened out the beats on a couple of tracks to make them more pop sounding. But these concessions shouldn't be a cause for worry. Moore hasn't abandoned the enveloping spaciness that has come to characterize TCDSS. Far from it. Horsie is still bathed in mountains of echo, reverb and delay that make your head swim. Once again, Moore has managed to equally confound and delight while at the same time broadening his vision of what dub should be. Richard Moule - ID Magazine, Canada www <b>...</b>
