Back in 2004 the UK's Lucid Rhythms released the EP "Altered States" on AC39 Records and now he's put that EP up on his soundcloud page for all to enjoy. It's an awesome ambient dub record that really washes over you. Hints of rhythmic tracks build and wane, gathering intensity and then being washed away in waves of echoey dub delay. It doesn't feel quite ambient, but definitely doesn't present any straight forward beat music either. It walks a really interesting middle ground that takes elements from both approaches and blends them into a sonic landscape that is part sci-fi movie soundtrack, part drug trip, part dream world that evokes half-remembered memories of a blissful night out in the city.
