Various Artists – Jura Soundsystem Presents Transmission Three

Kevin Griffiths still puts together compilations as DJ tools, with ambient textures and sound effects at the end. At least that’s the case on the third edition of his »Transmission« series on the Isle of Jura label, which he runs under his pseudonym Jura Soundsystem. The first track alone—»Lotus Position« by The Irresistible Force, a.k.a. Mixmaster Morris—is worth it all and followed by a lot of dub music in different shades, the obligatory Café del Mar vibes, panpipe noodling, airy breaks and … the sounds of bleating sheep. If all of this doesn’t make sense to you, you have to make sense of it yourself. Kristoffer Cornils
