Synopsis
Album Description Phutureprimitive is the refreshing musical creation of Oregon-based DJ/Producer, Rain. The Phutureprimitive sound is subterranean electronic tribalism, combining elements of organic downtempo, ethnic breaks, and sensual atmospherics. Ethereal vocals soar over dubbed-out basslines, and live percussion unfolds over odd time signatures creating a groove that is influenced by the synthetic textures of psychedelic trance as well as the kinetic grooves of world music. Rain developed a love for electronic music early on, and began to hone his DJ skills in 1992, inspired by the early trance and goa releases of labels like Eye Q, Dragonfly, and T.I.P. The psychedelic textures embedded in the music of this era continue to be an influence on his production and style. Not content to just spin music, Rain established the Phutureprimitive Sound Labs in 1996, and began to acquire the equipment and skills required to express himself musically. Expanding and enhancing the Phutureprimitive aesthetic, Leroy Espiricueta has joined Rain, bringing his talent as a musician and skills as a percussionist to the Labs. The haunting and sensual vocals of Alyssa Palmer also grace several songs on this album. The sonic primitives are working on music together, and exploring the creative process independently. Something deep and tribal has been growing in the Labs, unseen and unheard, until now. The first full-length experience from Phutureprimitive is ?Sub Conscious? ? welcome and right at home, at the headquarters of downtempo and ambient dub - Waveform Records. A cinematic journey through Sub Conscious sound. Vibration for the imagination. Turn the lights down low - let your mind and body flow. ?Sub Conscious? by Phutureprimitive ? another important transmission from Waveform Records. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA Sonic Masterpiece - Amazing! Matthew Kramer | Monterey, CA USA | 11/01/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I found this group via internet radio (Sama FM) Groovesalad. I have listened to this cd a number of times and to be honest, I sometimes have a hard time getting it out of my cd player. The whole album flows nicely and pretty much every song has something to offer. My personal favorites are the tracks 1 and 2. I highly recomend this disk to anyone that likes dark electronic music with deep baselines. The sample songs on amazon dont even come close to what is being offered here. The songs have great build-up and cool layering melodies. If you are the kind of person that has a nice set of headphones or stereo with full range, I am sure you will have a fixed grin and happy ears for quite some time. If you don't your still in for a treat. A word of causion to those that may listen and drink coffee or redbull while driving - may cause speeding and hyper-activity :)" Best Kept Secret --- ONE GROUP TO WATCH OUT FOR! Steven Shepard | 10/24/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "In my search for truly outstanding & well produced music, I look for 5 things. 1. Variety of style 2. Original Instrumentation & Sounds 3. Music other producers listen to for ideas 4. Cinematic Qualities in scale and quality of sound 5. Lots of transitions, swells, breaks and tempo changes Phuture primitive gets 4 out of 5 stars due to the immense amount of production value and quality and for hitting all of the above points. If the album was 2 songs longer I would have given it 5 stars. What you get here is quality over quantity. The thing is I didn't want this album to ever stop. The journey it took me on and the images it painted in my mind, the movements my body was guided to do all are great and inspiring. This is the kind of music that will draw people out of a crowd when played in public to ask who the artist is. There is clear evidence that the future is bright for Rain the artist/DJ that makes his debut here. He could easily get into film scoring and soundtrack work. Trevor Rabin and Hans Zimmer in their more contemporary scoring feats fit nicely into This Sub-Conscious groove. My favorite albums in these genres are from "YELLO" Who's music is so well produced and laced with amazing instrumentations and catchy grooves. Phuture Primitive would actually catch the ear of Yello because the work is similar in qulity and production value but slower paced and more ambient. I am truly moved by this album and my quest is to find more like it, sad to say there are few. If you like big, cinematic ambient, downtempo grooves that constantly change, evolve and surprise you with new hooks and SFX this album is destined to please! My only complaint is I enjoy having more of this music than is currentlty available. Look for more from this artist and let's hope and empower it to be even better, which might be a bit of a challenge! The bar is pretty high here!" Devastating Grunt Hog | Vancouver, Canada | 01/06/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This disc evokes images of being lost in a steamy jungle in the middle of the night, with unseen beasts and cannibals lurking in the darkness. Dense, beautiful, organic, with a wonderfully dark and sinister undercurrent. An excellent first album, with paralyzingly deep basslines and a great atmosphere throughout; I hope we don't have to wait too long for the next release from this band."
