An underrated electronica legend

One of my all-time favorite artists today...



If you ask me, Meat Beat Manifesto, a.k.a. Mr. Jack Dangers and his collaborators du jour, is one of the most criminally underappreciated acts in all of electronica, at least by the mainstream. Dude's been at it for like 20 years, from his early industrial dance phase all the way up to his most recent experiments with dub, live musicians... hell, you name it. And no one ever has been a more amazing sampler. But do you ever hear him mentioned by, like, anybody? Except for the headz, hardly ever. So give my boy some love and check this track from his 2-disc masterpiece Subliminal Sandwich...

Meat Beat Manifesto - Future Worlds




And that shit is over a decade old. Dude has been ahead of time for long time, still is today. And since you haven't had much YouTubes lovin' lately, here's a vid from their most recent tour, which got into some serious video mixing along with the tunes... like, videos of every sample source mixed live with the music serious...



Bloody impressive, that!
