Anyone into his music? I haven't heard anything by him, but a guy I know who basically likes all types of music, thinks Bill Laswell is like some kind of god... I was told he does something called Dub, whatever that is... I dunno, I'd like to check him out, but would love some info...

He is a bass player that got really into the new age fusion experimental stuff. Axiom records is his personal label. Up untill a few years ago the guy was increadibly prolific up untill about two or three years ago, and now new releases have been sporatic.
Check out axiom dub and axiom ambient. Both good stuff.

funkmaster,
I've got well over 60 releases by laswell or laswell related releases and I will say this...he is hit or miss. I'll list about five or six that I really dig...apc tracks vol.1,sacred system chapter 1 book of entrance, imaginary cuba, sacred system chapter 2, silent recoil dub system one. another series worth checking out is laswell with pete namlook call outland-last I knew there were 4 of them -i own 2 and 3 and both are cool. he also has some drum and base which is ok but to be honest is strength is dub. laswell reminds me of john zorn in the sense that there is a lot of shit out there that you have to wade through to get to the good stuff. if you want one specifically to start out with get sacred system chapter 1 or 2.
cheers

well, there's an album of his, or there was, actually in a store here... it's called Radioaxiom: A Dub Transmission... that's what sparked my interest, cause I saw it there the other day... is that particular album any good?

the first axiom funk album is loaded. the second has a couple jems, some sweet good spoken word. of course, only if your into the funk. laswell produced these album, but the musicains are various members of p-funk. bernie may have had a part in it.
