EXCLUSIVE :: Meat Beat Manifesto “Penultimate Bass Test” (Video)

Electronic music legend Jack Danger offers up the first taste of his 13th album as Meat Beat Manifesto, Answers Come In Dreams, with this exclusive video for the song “Penultimate Bass Test.” The track and accompanying video are like a time warp to the very earliest days of URB and techno-rave culture—with a sampledelic blend of ambient beats, electro voices and sub-bass synths meant to rattle your bones, and a lo-fi video aesthetic recalling when the future was still something dubbed on VHS.



Answers Come In Dreams comes out October 12, 2010.
