this 12 inch should come with a warning label. lion step proves that a tune doesnt have to be amen to tear down the place. heavily influenced by the more vigorous side of the dub spectrum, drum rolls, analogue synths, and even the lions roar combine to devastating effect. the flip side, no more games, initially suggests a more relaxed affair with its lush intro and plangent atmosphere. however, the dark clouds soon roll in and the track morphs in to an all out assault on the senses, underpinned by switching amens, cutting edge science and a string line straight from dark side. natalie’s rhodes begins serene and beautiful and unlike its b side companion remains that way. a truly diverse and unique effort from sci wax stalwart dub one.
