Underground Bass Masters

Very rarely do we see bass artists with the ability or skill to break out of the mold of conventional bass music and ascend to a level of recognition typically given to the best electronic artists, or better yet, musicians.


Their debut, "Transcend", was incredibly powerful and helped to put electro-bass on the map, it showed potential more than anything else. It seems that that potential has not only been met but has been far exceeded. The UBM have crafted works of extraordinarily passionate electronic art. With music so full of intelligence, intensity, and imagination that it truly reshapes the paradigm and makes you wonder why all music isn't this damn good.


All too often, bass artists focus primarily on the bass, making a great competition disc, but one with absolutely no aesthetic quality. The UBM, however, have treated the bass on "Live Deeper" almost as an afterthought; a garnish that is necessary to the composition as a whole, but is secondary to and dependent on all of the other musical elements. One can't help but feel elation and a sense of spirituality when listening to it.


There are no words that can truly capture the beauty and essence of "Live Deeper". Just as a sunset must be watched to be fully understood and appreciated, so must this electronic opus be listened to. I enthusiastically encourage anyone and everyone, basshead or not, to add it to their collection.
