Luke Vibert

Its always funny when I put on a new Luke Vibert record. I'm by far a tough critic on certain styles and cut up style is definitely one that is hard to impress me on. But as usual with Luke Vibert, I know he can win me over. And he continues to do so whether it be Wagon Christ, Kerrier District, Plug or any other name. Each and every album continues to This guy is a genius. Bar none one of electronic musics' most creative and enduring lesser known figures. He's tackled ambient avante and dub with his early Rising High release and impressed. He's taken on house and acid music with Kerrier District and garnered a new audience. He's championed jungle and Drum n bass with Plug and succeeded. He's most well known under Wagon Christ for creating excellent albums in IDM, trip hop and downtempo as well as techno. He's recently forged a path into hip hop in recent years as well. His style has run the full gamut and back. His creativeness, playfulness and the energy he puts into his music will last generations when all is said and done. I have bought everything since hearing a Tally Ho! Promo by a random chance in late 1997, 15 years ago. Just got my hands on the latest Plug release.

An artist not to be missed. I'm pretty varied on liking different styles. He will get you to like styles that you may not normally like. If that doesn't measure a genius status I don't know what does.
