Product Description

CD Description

'Future Chaos' is the fourth studio album by Bomb The Bass.After a nearly fifteen year hiatus since his last studio album 'Clear', Tim Simenon returns with a braver and more direct album. The electronic side of house is referenced here rather than the soulful and a whole host of guest names have been rafted in such as Mark Lanegan, Fujiya and Miyagi and Richard Thair, creating an alternative and angular sound. Thisis a modern and dynamic dance record which includes the single 'So Special' featuring Paul Conboy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fourteen years in the making - but well worth it!, 5 Aug 2008
By Mr. Steve Jansen (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
There's a lot you could say about Future Chaos - odd, weird, analogue, retro yet brimming over with modernity - but the simple truth is, this album is a platinum-plated rarity in this day and age: a blinding set of songs, built up into an album you can play from start to finish without having to keep skipping forward. All killer, and no filler, if you will. I'd given up on being able to leave an album playing like I used to, but Bomb the Bass have delivered. Mind you, they've had fourteen years, so they've had time to finess the quality controls!

With the list of collaborators taking in Fujiya & Miyagi, Mark Lanegan, former APE man Paul Conboy, Jon Spencer and Toob, Future Chaos could have been a mish-mashed mess, but Simenon lets his killer producer's ear do the working, pulling everything together into nine tracks that sit pretty like a dream.

Where Clear was a love letter to dub, hip hop and soul, Future Chaos is decidely - and refreshingly - European in feel; where Bomb the Bass were once like a soundsystem, now they're more a system of sound, somehow making sense of Simenon's eclectic passions. Apparently he - along with chief collaborator Paul Conboy - pretty much fashioned the entire album on a Moog - not that you'd ever really know, because the production is bold yet always understated; clever and catchy without ever getting carried away into time killing extended dance workouts.

There's shimmers of dub (the gorgeous Hold Me Up), beats that kick like a mule (the deceptively catchy, yet dark as hell So Special), pop quirks (Butterfingers), subtle patches of ambient (No Bones) and obvious over (and under) tones of Simenon's dance past (Fuzzbox and Burn the Bunker); yet nothing is indulgent, and no one thing ever overshadows the songs.

Apparently the live shows are just as blistering, if the recent Big Chill reviews are anything to go by - so I'd say, with the charts awash with bland bands in black levi's and mockney tones, welcome back Mr Simenon, it was worth the wait!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this, buy "Clear" instead!, 23 Feb 2009
A gap between albums which can be measured in decades is probably not a good sign for a band, especially when its predecessor ("Clear") was so very engaging. Sadly I suspect I've been building up my hopes a little too much in the meantime. This album borrows heavily from other genres and makes extensive use of samples which seem just familiar enough to be quite distracting. I detect influences from Massive Attack (naturally) but also 80's electro pop and even the likes of Depeche Mode's "Violator". A bold attempt to reinvigorate the band but sadly this is as much of a departure for Bomb The Bass as "War Stories" was for the U.N.K.L.E project (which is another album this work reminds me of and which is perhaps a better example of the genre).

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Futuristic and not Chaotic- in fact a bit plain, 29 Oct 2008
By Mr. Stuart Bruce "DonQuibeats" (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Yes, the production's slick, like you'd expect from legendary producer Tim Simenon. But the big problem with this album is, it's not 'cutting edge' at all- in fact the whole thing's a bit lacklustre and uninspired.

It's a sort of indie-electro crossover that bands like Midnight Juggernauts and The Presets are currently doing a lot better. There are hints of that electroclash attitude which make some tracks sound like they were written five years ago.

There's over-use of that rich Moog sound, making a lot of the tracks too similar, and though the bass is strong the beats are weak.

Pretty disappointing after such a long wait.
