Julian Cope Presents Head Heritage | Unsung | The Book of Seth | Primal Scream - Echo Dek (775 words) |
 | A slowed voice sneaks in towards the end with lurking intent and the combination of it all over the brashly rendered drums and percussion is some of the most imbalanced and disoriented dub produced in the nineties. |
| Aircraft FX swoop down amidst the dub clatter of echoed drums as that chillingly inhuman and repeatedly pressed queue bell is darkly reprised. |
| Fragments of the former track go flying by with extremely uncalled-for echo abuse that turns Wise Blood into a place where every sounds seems to be either delayed or decayed...and that includes the drums, leaving the double bass/distorted-synth signal as the only element to keep things on course. |
| allmusic ((( Echo Dek > Overview ))) (141 words) |
| Released a mere three months after Vanishing Point, Echo Dek finds Primal Scream turning over the master tapes for the record to Adrian Sherwood, who remixes eight of the songs ("Stuka" is done twice) and takes them farther out into left-field territory. |
| Vanishing Point was already quite adventurous, sinking deep into dub and ambient cocktail territory, but Sherwood confirms the experimental bent of the record with Echo Dek. |
| Most remix albums are only of interest to hardcore fans, but Sherwood's clever, dynamic work makes Echo Dek of interest to anyone curious about contemporary late-'90s dance. |
