Laswell created "Sacred System Chapter 1: Book Of Entrance" specifically for ROIR, and in this he has been guided by ROIR's continuous interest in the dub and all its studio manifestations. "Sacred System" once again proves Laswell a radical innovator, as he adds a new chapter - a new direction for dub in the '90s.
"The music on this album is a perfect blend of techno beats and Middle Eastern rhythm. You won't find a lot of variation here --- the songs are supposed to put you in a trance, so they are repetitive. Every time I listen to it, I play it over and over for hours; Laswell should have stretched it out to cover the full disc. This is as good as Laswell's RADIOAXIOM and HALLUCINATION ENGINE."
A totally superb Dub album

"I've got several Laswell dub outings, sometimes he's brilliant, sometimes not, in this case the tunes really rock. One of the most played CDs in my collection."
Good Choice

"I enjoy this while I work. It's smooth and easy to listen to. Good late night mood music. I have gotten a lot of complements on the disc."
Intense...

"This is intense music, but don't be expecting a King-Tubby style rootdown. There are elements of electronic music throughout and some of the tracks are more drum n' bass than dub. Still worth it though, really spacy trippy stuff."

"Outstanding synthesis of spacy dub sounds and manic jungle beats. Bill Laswell can do no wrong - his excellent production give this album a sheen of perfection that is, unfortunately, indescribable. Essential."
