Meat Beat Manifesto for 2001!!

[betao]

Jack is long overdue to play here, and I'll be petitioning for him until it happens.

For those who don't know: Meat Beat Manifesto is the musical project of Jack Dangers and has been around since the late 80s. Some seriously good funky industrial house/techno backed with awesome bass, and more recently some jazz and dubstep influence.

Here's his most popular track, Prime Audio Soup. It was featured in The Matrix.



This next one is Radio Babylon. Liam Howlett of the Prodigy sampled it to make Charly, their first big single.



Here are a few others:

Acid Again


Dog Star Man


Solid Waste


Oblivion/Humans


Pysche Out


Mars Needs Women

So much sick bass

[CrimesceneCookie]

has anyone else heard The JDs "Education"? It's Jack Dangers + Bass Kittens.
It beats the hell out of most other electronic music I've heard in the past year.

[betao]

I'd be down for that. That sounds like a fun listen.

MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO Ready To Give ANSWERS
New Album Out October 12, 2010
Totally Together EP Out Sept. 14th

from meatbeatmanifesto.com

San Francisco, CA - 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, Jack 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 Jack 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, Jack 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. From the downtempo soundscape of the opening track "Luminol" to the appropriately-titled submerged beats of "Waterphone," Answers Come in Dreams is a fascinating pastiche of sonic textures and electronic rhythms that fans of MBM's past work will find alluringly comfortable while new listeners will find alluringly intriguing. Always on the lookout of ways of sculpting sound into new and groundbreaking shapes, Jack 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").

"Intriguing and intimidating…Dangers' cultural osterizing evolves to the nth degree of studio sophistication... " - ROLLING STONE

"... a surround sound sensorium." - WIRED

"Jack Dangers takes listeners on an exhilarating aural exploration of the past, present, and future, rampaging across genres along the way." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE

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 ofTower 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 he'll take us next.

Oh good, hopefully this means a tour.

[getbetter]

Saw him in 2008 in support of Autoimmune. The El Rey was practically empty. The fans were creepy. Awesome show, nonetheless

I remember almost going to this show .

[SoulDischarge]

Just bought my ticket for the Chicago date. My first time seeing them and I'm fucking pumped.

[robotronia]

one of the true pioneers - jack innovates while others yell at their laptops.
i will never part with my MBM collection, vinyl or cd, and yes, i like the forbidden planet score he did as well.
his sampled callbacks are always good, and he was doing dub IN THE 80's.
a huge influence - even if i don't love every mbm / jd release, he is an artist that deserves respect.

bump.
