Review

Alternative Press (3/00, p.97) - 4 out of 5 - "...a clever and funky mix of trip hop, acid jazz, hardcore techno and mellow ambience...everything flows together smoothly....Very nicely done - start to finish."
The Wire (2/00, p.58) - "...A cross-genre carnival/collage, its squeaks, eddies and irruptions drop out of some blue nowhere....gleeful, generous, a real laughing gas...Oddly anonymous...but intermittently sublime, a quiet riot."
Muzik (1/00, p.129) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...consolidates [their] reputation for crafted abstractions and weirdo dubby hip hop soundscapes of the highest order....this stuff worms its way into your senses and does a very slow funky wiggle. Unusually good."

Title Note

310: Joseph Dierker, Tim Donovan.

310 is a sociological soundlab, originally based in Brooklyn, and later curated cross-country--via post--by sampling mavericks Joseph Dierker and Tim Donovan. After self-releasing two earlier 310 albums, Dierker left the outer boroughs for the Pacific Northwest. But he brought the sounds of the city with him. Donovan, a hip-hop engineer (the Roots, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, Method Man), uses his studio know-how to work Dierker's loops of urban found-sound into compelling, beat-spiced collage.

THE DIRTY ROPE flings open a high-story window to the world of street-sound below. A melting-pot melange of ethnic voices and musical strains pours in--from corner groceries; from hawkers; from bars; from ghetto blasters; from radios; from passing vehicles; from churches, temples, and shrines; from road crews; from dusty '45s spinning in ballrooms and neighboring apartments; from pedestrians and playing children. Workers daydream about tropical beaches, inner-city pressures mount, and 310 finds music in the delicate balance. THE DIRTY ROPE ranges from joyous bustles of rhythm and human noise ("NOD," "Frosty Bardum," "Firing Line") to evocative ambient stretches ("Me Head Is Light," "Under the Blue Words," "Six Month Zazen"), all sequenced to reflect the shifting emotional climate of the concrete jungle.
