| | Jah Wobble & Bill Laswell - Radioaxiom: A Dub Transmission |
| | His album Heaven and Earth, produced by one Bill Laswell, the man who recently interpreted Miles Davis songs to huge acclaim on the album Panthalassa, was acclaimed in the broadsheets and the music industry inkies alike as an outstanding record. | | | Laswell is no stranger to musical fame either, releasing several solo records per year in the jazz and dub arenas while also producing for the likes of Buckethead, Pete Namlook and Dub Syndicate. | | | That the album is only seven tracks in length should not fool you, for each track is between five and eight minutes of sheer, towering ambient bliss bordering on trance. |

| | Bill Laswell: Invisible Design: Pitchfork Review |
| | Laswell's latest opus stands as one of the most forthright and personal albums of instrumental music released this year. | | | The Eastern-tinged "Aisha" is one of the album's highlights: played by bass, tamboura, and gentle percusion, the track displays a tight, almost folk-like compositional structure that's rare in jazz and experimental music. | | | The opening track, "Black Aether", is a nightmarish masterpiece of dark ambient, punctuating long, slithering solo bass explorations with blasts of industrial crunch. |

| | MILES INTO THE FUTURE |
| | Laswell explains that, despite the reference to the names of these two live albums, he didn't use any material from them, because "live albums are a whole different universe: their timeline is largely linear, and I don't think it would make sense to alter it. | | | The opening track of the album sees Laswell compressing the 35 minutes of the original In A Silent Way album into a suite that lasts just 15 minutes, and the improvement is remarkable. | | | Given Laswell's stated aim, that he wanted to use equipment and an editing process similar to that used during the time these recordings were made, the appearance of an Akai ADAM comes as a bit of a surprise. |

| | REVIEW |
| | Laswell uses 13 songs from Jerry O' Sullivan, Solas, Karan Casey, Cathie Sullivan, and Matt Molloy as well as one track of his own, and the end result is a remarkably seamless album from start to finish. | | | Bill Laswell's latest album is a remix of some of the best of Shanachie's Celtic acts. | | | Still, I must admit, the first few times I listened to this album, I thought, "Geez, Laswell is reinventing the wheel. |

| | When Gigi and Bill Laswell collaborated on her self-titled debut album in 2001, the results were a completely unique melding of traditional African sounds with modern electronic music. | | | Gigi is currently at work in Axiom’s Orange Music Sound Studio on her second album of original material. | | | “We wanted to capture the whole spirit of each track, and Bill’s remixes translate the original melodies and create a different music language that really put you in a pleasant place.” Laswell’s reconstructions are long and patient, taking the essence of the original songs and building towers of dub around them. |

| | Bill Laswell / Various Artists: Trojan Dub Massive Chapters One & Two - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Bill Laswell (along with Morrissey, Billy Idol, and anyone else who had an American radio hit between 1982 and 1992) has certainly benefited from the success of the ever-growing Sanctuary Records Group, which includes Trojan. | | | Looks like ol' Bill has taken a troll through the Trojan catalog, picked out his echo-chamber favorites, and divided the 36 tracks between two discs. | | | After about a dozen cuts, though, you start to get the idea: Laswell is fond of adding even louder, more reverb-soaked anvil hits; along with extra whooshing, whirring, and seemingly random bits of moody synthesizer chords; and he completely mixes the vocals out of most tracks. |

| | Bill Laswell is an interesting avant-garde composer/producer: his sound is equal parts traditional acoustic and ultra-modern electric. | | | Playing the role of half DJ and half 'serious' composer, Laswell constructs his compositions with an air of jazziness, leaving room for improvisation behind the solid rhythmic backbone. | | | The bright "Alsema Dub" is driven by dub reggae beats, ethereal melodies, and compelling tribal vocals. |

| | Laswell and Buckethead have each made a living out of attacking complacency in the music "industry," and with the way-out direction in sound they take on Heaven And Hell, it's clear that the battle is still on and moving ever-forward. | | | The feeling is almost orchestral, segueing into "Movement 5" with feedback that sounds like violins, until Laswell brings it back down to earth with the low end that guides the rest of Heaven And Hell into a head-nodding nether-region of time, space and more Echoplex dreams. | | | Buckethead taps deftly into that mystery, bringing with him his usual array of guitar gadgetry and his consistently mind-blowing command of melody, chordal arrangements and sheer pyrotechnics. |

| | Bill Laswell: Permutation: Pitchfork Review |
| | As aggressively diverse as Laswell's influences must be, the dominant mode in his last five years of musical output has unquestionably been dub. | | | The results aren't difficult to predict: expertly played, dub-based world music, heavy on the reverb and cut with some solid drum-n-bass underneath. | | | Permutation has a great deal more gravity than the graceful but somewhat undernourished Ekstasis album, Wake Up and Dream, which is something of a predecessor. |

| | However, Laswell has produced more than an artist's share of dodgy records -- enough that in the late '90s, his name on a disc could easily consign it permanently to the shelf. | | | Recently he's focused largely on a dub-plate sound, re-thinking his approach after a string of faux-industrial releases, and the Sacred System series of discs has been an increasingly satisfying collection of what can actually be called Dub Excursions. | | | The disc's dedication to Augustus Pablo, the original master of freaky dub, is another good sign. |

It begins with a buzzing sitar drone (providing the Eastern flavor common in Laswell's music) and strummed guitar emerging from the murk. |

| | * Dusted Reviews - Hoppy Kamiyama & Bill Laswell * |
| | Both of these music personalities are well-known for their assorted collaborations, so it should be no surprise that they have finally gotten together to see what results. | | | The disc's opener, "Azlo," begins with Laswell’s bass and echoing drums. | | | All in all, these and the other songs here offer a fair variety while concentrating on what each of the participants does best. |
