Biography of Rhythm and Sound
Rhythm and Sound are Moritz Von Oswald and Mark Ernestus.
Rhythm & Sound released a series of 10' records on Burial Mix and 12' records on Rhythm & Sound, both labels distributed by Hardwax. Von Oswald and Ernestus' Rhythm & Sound recordings are much more dub-influenced and less techno-orientated than the duo's previous, and more legendary, dub-techno recordings as Basic Channel and Von Oswald's solo work as Maurizio. Where those earlier recordings synthesized a Detroit-influenced style of minimal techno with dub-reggae bass lines, the late-'90s Rhythm & Sound productions emphasized the dub-reggae aesthetic rather than the more dancefloor-orientated techno sound of the early-'90s Basic Channel and Maurizio recordings. Thus, the Rhythm & Sound records, which often featured reggae vocalist Paul St. Hilaire, weren't quite as popular or well-known as the duo's Basic Channel recordings, which instead retained their popularity over the years, becoming quite legendary and oft-cited within the techno scene. Nonetheless, Von Oswald and Ernestus' Rhythm & Sound work prevailed into the early 2000s, being compiled on two listener-friendly CDs, Showcase (1998) and Rhythm & Sound (2001).
Aliases: Basic Channel, Cyrus, Maurizio, Phylyps, Quadrant, Radiance, Round Five, Round Four, Round One, Round Three, Round Two

Comment: its a good mix, its just hard to get over the clipping of the recording. I guess if you had a crappy stereo you might not notice haha. But that said, all the tracks are enjoyable if you are into dub.

Comment: I agree with the comments above. This is great for fans of Dub! The audio is not the best, especially if you really want to feel the rolling basslines. But it's a great set for fans of Rhythm & Sound, Burial Mix, etc. I've never had the chance to see R&S live so this is extra special for me.

Comment: I loved getting my hands on this little treasure, as well as the other parts. I listened to the first part in the car today while on my travels. It's awesome stuff, as ever from the pair. I saw them play a Dub 45 set in Manchester last year with Tikiman. It was a very good night and it's cool to have a similar mix by them to bring back the fond memories.
On the negative side, I had to turn the bass up a lot on my stereo to appreciate the Dub basslines as they were a little lacking on the recording but not too bad once I had +5 the bass.

to comment on all of it here. Since this
is Von Oswald and Ernest performing
as Rhythm and Sound, this isn't
Basic Channel-style techno,
just nearly three hours of basically
dubby sounds.
Nothing earthshattering here,
just some nice dub, great for
relaxing to or for early morning/late
evening listening. If you like dub,
this is certainly worth a download.
