Review: Ulrich Troyer's Transit Tribe is a stunning nine-track ambient dub album that showcases his two-decade-long journey through diverse soundscapes. The album elegantly blends avant-garde, techno and field recordings, all underpinned by the warm, atmospheric aesthetics of futurist dub. Featuring a stellar lineup of collaborators from around the globe, including Mamadou Diabate, Reinhilde Gamper and British poet Roger Robinson, the album infuses a rich tapestry of soundsiranging from electric sax and zither to cello and flute. Each track is an exploration of rhythm and texture, with organic drums and deep basslines creating a fluid listening experience that transports the listener. Troyer'S ability to manipulate sound, crafting immersive layers of delay, reverb and echo that invite listeners to lose themselves in the music. From the melodic bounce of 'Latzfonser Kreuz' to the emotive vibes of 'Lago di Garda', Transit Tribe stands as a testament to Troyer's artistry and the collaborative spirit of modern music, evoking the essence of African Head Charge and other pioneering dub influences.
