'Nomad' has the most devestating bassline that I've come across in the "dubstep" genre (yet). Just as the low frequencies threaten to turn your bowels inside out, it drops further still until all your senses are on red alert (and the foundations of your house quake and rumble - seriously!).
But it's not just about the bass. Distance knocks up some fantastic half-time rhythms courtesy of the Brazilan berimbau (used as an instrument during capoeira bouts, and utilised by Sepultura on their 'Roots' album) and glass-pop percussion that works in unison with the low-end thundering of the bassline.
If I was to introduce someone to the "dubstep" genre this would undoubtedly be the track I would play, as it is innovative, fresh and dub in the extreme.
