Performer Notes:

• Photographers: Fiona Robinson; Phillip Wood ; Scott Leonard.
• Glyn "Bigga" Bush is best known for his work in the mid- to late-90s as a member of Rockers Hi-Fi, a collective that specialized in slow, deep, hip-hop-flavored dub. On his own, recording under the name BiggaBush, his work is both more sonically adventurous and somewhat less compelling. Each track on BiggaBush Free is centered on a single musical idea: on "Outernational Anthem" its a series of syncopated chord chops over a house beat; on "Acid Fly" its a squeagy six-note synthesizer lick; on "Michaelangelo" its a brief snippet of harmonium and dhol. All of those elements are very cool, but rarely are they developed into anything that really rewards four or five minutes of undivided attention. There are some notable exceptions, such as the gorgeous and strangely relaxing "IOTK" and "This River," on which endless repetition of the songs single motif (with gradual dubwise elaboration) actually works really well. The reggae-inflected "Deep Eastwood" is another solid winner. Overall, this is a solid effort, if not an album for the history books. ~ Rick Anderson
