Seminal electronic band Meat Beat Manifesto (MBM) is gearing up for the release of its new album "Answers Come in Dreams" via Metropolis

Records on October 12, 2010. Minimal, textural and cinematic in scope, this album follows sound sculptor and music innovator Jack Dangers into

more experimental territory. An artist who sees the very fluid connection between audio and visual, Dangers will be creating videos for each of the

twelve tracks on the record - welcome news for those who are familiar with MBM's mindblowing live performances that combine a sonic electronic

assault with their stunning and often provocative and political video mash-ups.

 

"I don't feel like this is a new direction," explains Dangers about the minimal nature of this record. "It's just an extension of my sound. Maybe it's

more minimal than previous records - that was a conscious decision because I am making a video for each song more or less."

 

Each video is planned to be gradually rolled out until the release of the record in Fall (more info forthcoming). Planned to preceed the album release

this Fall is "Totally Together," a four-track EP containing four tracks not included on the album that will be released on September 14, 2010.

 

Also known for his astute political observations and often outspoken stances through his music and live performances, Dangers has steered his

trademark acute attention away from government for this release since the political environment is shifting.

 

"With the politics in the country taking a small turn for the better, I didn't feel the need to comment so much and decided to put more focus on the

music," he says. "Plus, it's easier to make a point with video - it's more visceral...straight into the mind's eye, straight to the point."

 

Self described half-snarkily as "sub harmonic colonics...schadenfreude with extreme prejudice on those disbelievers of 7Hz," "Answers Come in Dreams"

is just that - a mind-flushing reboot of the current state of music. Always on the lookout of ways of sculpting sound into new and groundbreaking shapes,

Dangers utilized samples from a 'numbers station' to incorporate into the the paranoia-inducing contrasting layers of "# Zero." He describes the sames as

"creepy disembodied covert radio transmission still used by spies" ("I recorded stuff like this way back in 1980-1981").

 

MBM's consistent musical invention has led to all forms of electronic musical experimentation over its 23 year history, from jungle to techno to industrial

to dubstep to jazz fusion. Its long string of influential futuristic classics includes such groundbreaking tracks as "God O.D.," "Strap Down," "Psyche Out,"

"Helter Skelter," "Radio Babylon," "Edge of No Control" to "It's The Music." The single, "Prime Audio Soup" (from the album "Actual Sounds and Voices")

was featured in the sci-fi fantasy blockbuster The Matrix and on its platinum-selling soundtrack.

 

An acknowledged and celebrated innovator in the electronic music scene (his remix of Tower of Power's "What Is Funk?" was nominated for a Grammy in 2006)

Jack Dangers continues to stretch sonic boundaries and influence new generations of sound activists. As a premiere remixer, producer and sound designer, he has

played a seminal role in defining tomorrows' music today. Past production/remixing projects include: Public Enemy, David Bowie, Orbital, Nine Inch Nails,

David Byrne, Bush, Depeche Mode, and Tower of Power.

 

With the release of the "Totally Together" EP on September 14th and the full-length "Answers Come in Dreams" on October 12th, Meat Beat Manifesto will

propel electronic music into another dimension yet again. We can only dream where they'll take us next.

tour ?!

I sure hope there's a follow-up tour. I still need to catch Dangers live.

I haven't even listened to the samples. I will just buy the CD, no doubt.

I've never purchased from Boomkat so I don't know (can you buy physical formats from them?). All I know is that Hydrogen Dukebox released the EP in the UK (digital/physical) and Metropolis in the US (physical/digital). Metro's site only has MP3s, and the only other major US digital retailers are iTunes and Amazon, who don't sell FLAC, so I think you're SOL short of finding them elsewhere. Pay for the MP3s and find the FLACs elsewhere.

blessings from these boy's on me bass bins

Really good track

ehh video

Great track

fuck yes, jack dangers is the man.

Yeah the video is definitely dated looking then again look at the MBM site, it's stuck in the 90s. There are cool parts though. Track is good, glad to hear vocal samples.

Just found out about this because I happened to be checking out the Hydrogen Dukebox website, and found the samples through this thread so thanks. I've got to say I'm happy he's kept the tempo nice and mellow mostly.. And this one doesn't seem all jazzy and over done. I like MBM best in this mode. The samples are fantastic! I hope the bass production is as sweet as on RUOK

OMG TOMORROW
