Title: Scraps from the Cutting Room floor
Review: Laswell enthusiasts who - like me - own his 1998 album 'Permutation' and/or the Laswell-produced Ginger Baker album 'Middle Passage' will be disappointed to discover that 'Filmtracks 2000' consists largely of edits of tracks from these earlier works. (This is particularly irritating in view of the fact that 'Permutation' is itself a recycling of tracks from Laswell's 'Broken Vessels' filmtrack.) In some cases these edits are alternative - and not especially revealing - mixes. In other cases the editing simply consists of fading out the track half way through. That's not to say that this album has nothing going for it. If you're a newcomer to Laswell it's a good introduction to one of his favourite styles: dub bass plus middle-eastern sounds. Longstanding admirers of Laswell, though, might consider spending their money on something fresher.
