Mere Mortals - Ethnic Dub Simmphony in Ten Parts

  "Ethnic Dub Simmphony In Ten Parts" is the debut artist album on Map Records, and the long-awaited first release of MERE MORTALS (Wax Trax, Endzeit, Interchill). This beautifully composed journey into and beyond ethno ambient and dub'n'bass is written and produced by Dan Handrabur (with additional production and vocals by Cristina Handrabur), whose solo projects include DREAMLOGIC (ESP, Harthouse) and VUEMORPH (Silent), and collaborative projects OFF AND GONE (Exist Dance, Harthouse), FLOATPOINT (ESP/Sun, Apollon), XDRONE (with Adham Shaikh of Instinct) and the seminal OUTERSANCTUM compilation released on his own label in 1993. Dan contributed four tracks to the "Welcome To Lotus Land" compilation (two as Mere Mortals, two as Dreamlogic), recently released by Map Records.

"Ethnic Dub Simmphony In Ten Parts" will appeal to lifeforms stimulated by ethnomorphic dub'n'bass, trance-cultural exoterics, and stellar electroniculture. Their mutated form of aurally aquatic tropicality, ethnic eccentricity and musical morphias have to be heard to be believed.
