Reality Tunnels
(Tectonic Recordings)
★★★★
UNDERWATER Dancehall, the debut album by Bristol producer Rob Ellis — Pinch — was a milestone for dubstep in 2007 and Reality Tunnels is his second, recorded at his Logic-based Bristol studio.
The album’s concept is inspired by US writer Robert Anton Wilson’s 1983 book Prometheus Rising, relating to how individuals create their own perspective and the subjective filters they apply to their world.
