]]> http://thewitnessexchange.net/?feed=rss2&p=1208 honestly fucking fantastic: dub fx http://thewitnessexchange.net/?p=1156 http://thewitnessexchange.net/?p=1156#comments Sun, 23 Aug 2009 19:06:26 +0000 admin http://thewitnessexchange.net/?p=1156 A bloke, his voice and some effect pedals. A street musician in one of it’s purest forms. Dub FX just feels good.

I’ve only recently discovered Benjamin Stanford’s work via word of mouth and YouTube and have already found everything I could by this man - bootlegs and official material. It just that good. Really.

I’ve found that the melodies are fantastic, the beats raw and invigorating, the innovation relentless… though I’m not really describing the album titled ‘Everythinks a Ripple’ but the live material found on video all over YouTube (see below). This is a case where the ‘real’ is far superior to the posed, produced, polished and manicured. It’s Benjamin’s performance that seals the deal. I would NEVER throw my copy of ‘Everythink…’ in the trash but I certainly would prefer a quality recording of streetside emotion and honesty over a refined-by-q-tips take any day, any hour, any way… at least for now.

Enjoy the tracks below. Please watch each at least once through to the end. If you don’t choke up while watching any of these videos you have ventured too far from the wall and your emotional self has become unplugged.

‘Flow’, the second video is my personal fave.
