"Satellite City" is the new album from Dub/ Electro-Reggae act Noiseshaper.
I've actually been getting into a lot of reggae and dub recently, but I'm going to be up front by saying that I really can't enjoy this record. While
this record is expertly produced and it features some very nice sounds and performances by talented vocalists and musicians, I just can't shake the feeling of soulless cultural appropriation that I get from most of these songs.

Every one of the 10 tracks here just seem so bland and sanitized, there is no emotion or feeling, nor is there any particularly innovative King Tubby style dub experimentation to peak my interest. Just track after track of dub meets deephouse boredom. Some of the vocals are good, but not good enough to make the entire album worthwhile.

Noiseshaper have been massively successful, and chances are you may enjoy this. But personally, when I'm in the mood for dub or reggae I'd rather listen to some Linval Thompson or Lee Perry.
