retrospect 七重天 by Celestial 天上

A spaced-out sound-clash of Asian Dub from the Hong Kong masters of the genre, this collection brings together the contrasting worlds of Asian tradition and Jamaican dub wizardry. As well as being the seventh album, it also marks the twentieth anniversary of the first Celestial 天上 release, “Spirit House”, put out by MCA in 1996.

A combination of completely original tracks plus re-imaginings of tracks from Celestial’s 20 year history, this time the sound veers towards the dark side of Asian Dub. Those familiar with the sounds of Hong Kong and Celestial will hear suggestions and references, echoed and layered, reverberating like ghosts of past dubberations.
