sense - 2 day dub 7" review from igloomag.com Sense's 2 Day Dub was released on a three colors of vinyl, an uneven split between black, pink and aqua, and the colors match the synesthetic sound of the two tracks. A-side "Tuesday Blue" begins with tiny particles of light rising against a black background until there is enough motion for the sound to evolve into a more beat-driven track. Dub only in the basest sense of the word, "Tuesday Blue" is a full-motion downtempo soundtrack piece that Michael Mann would happily use as mood music in any of his nocturnal films. "Wednesrasta" is the B-side, and it unfolds like a long lead-in to a full-blown rave track, caught on the cusp of its interminable four-on-the-floor nature by minute shards of metal which keep arresting its rhythm with their off-kilter scatter. Echoes of metal pipes clanging against the floor of an immense underground cistern float up from the depths while a thin strand of white smoke melody uncurls overhead. The elements build and collide until the techno beat gives up the ghost, fading into synthetic mist which slowly drifts apart.
