Underground drum & bass continues to push the boundaries of innovation, whilst the mainstream chokes on rehashed formulaic percussion. Mark Wiebe (aka Sinewave) drops this debut full-length, which bristles with innovative samples and beats. Originally from the Vancouver area, Wiebe moved to Winnipeg, where Interplanetary Ridicule received top five airplay on University of Manitoba's UMFM. The quality was undeniable and launched the 2Top Record label to support this release. Jazzy samples play off each other and fill the record with bizarre beats and B-movie sci-fi weirdness. An entertaining listen to be sure. Keep your eyes peeled for this great release on CD and the six-track twelve-inch EP.
