Bomb The Bass Unknown Territory

Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing including mini poster. Bomb the Bass' second album Unknown Territory was a venture into the progressive dance music. 'Winter in July' was the album's single hit, peaking at #7 in the UK charts. The mid-tempo hip-hop was later being dubbed as trip-hop. Music writer Simon Reynolds searched for a way to 'combine the art of sampling with the energy of rock and roll'. This combination worked out pretty well and the 10 songs shows how they developed to a band who integrated different aspects from electronic music in their hip-hop sounds. Bomb The Bass were one of the first acts to bring sample-based music and scratching to a mainstream audience.
