Reviews:
"Children of Dub are a band who skillfully unify digital technologies with organic structures and thus produce music which can be only described as timeless... Their style, due to the many changes in line-up, is diverse and cuts across house, techno, trance, break-beat, and of course the grandfather of it all, dub. As such, Evolution provides us with a comprehensive coverage of how Children of Dub have developed over the years, and provides a fantastic introduction to those who are new to them and a must-have for those that are already in the know.." Upfront
"Released 8/01 on Rumour Records. Evolution is an excellent summary of the COD discography, tracing a journey of how their sound has evolved through squiggly, dubby electronica, trance, break beat and drum 'n bass. It is compiled from many rare and unavailable / deleted COD EPs and vinyls, rather than a hand picking of tracks from their past five albums. Hence Evolution is more than just a "best of..." album and is an essential purchase if, like myself, you missed many of these releases first time round.." global-trance.co.uk
'Quite
simply C.O.D. were at the forefront of the UK's progressive
house and trance scene... Tracks such as Nemesis, Om and Greed
proved that the band could happily mix house beats & acid
squiggles alongside break-beats, live bass, live guitar and
drums with elements of other genres. C.O.D. were not afraid to
push the boundaries and their extensive live work allied to
their studio output gained them respect throughout the UK,
Europe and America, resulting in adulation from both the
underground and mainstream press. Two of the bands biggest
supporters have been John Peel and Annie Nightingale.' Dream

"An homage to all the music that Children Of Dub love � reggae, house, drum n� bass. trip-hop, disco, funk, trance, world music, jazz, ambient etc, An evolution of their trance/dub sound, �5th Element� delves further into vocals and different genres explored on the previous album �Digital Mantra�s For A Fucked Up World�. However, you will still find classic stompers such as �Move On� and �Fire� as well as two ambient tracks on this latest and final offering." Inside Dance Music Magazine

Digital Mantras for a Fucked-Up World

"COD you kick arse! I must admit, when I picked up this CD I was expecting some shite wannabe trip hop tunes that just don't impress� how wrong can you be? Due to amazing talent C.O.D. have succeeded in producing an album that represents just how versatile this sort of music can be." Fly on the web
"If you've got one on the go you may just welcome a visit to these hemp-laden pastures." DJ
"This will easily feature in my top 5 albums of the year, a superbly atmospheric coming together of all things dub, d&b and trance.." The Beat
"The name may suggest some didgeridoo laden tosh, but C.O.D. have always been as fascinated by house and sample-driven techno as dub. �it's a surprisingly good combination thanks to subtlety and a rare ear for a good old-fashioned melody.." The Edge
'This is somewhat of an odd album Or, perhaps that should read ground breaking. It's Trance fair enough but it takes it somewhere unique. It is a great album and well worth getting..' Generator
'a rich mix of such diverse styles as Jazz, Trip-Hop, Ambient, Break-beat and Dub, which serves to underline their eclecticism as they yet again defy categorization.' Zeitgeist
'Also new off Magick Eye is 'Digital Mantras' - a mixture of trance, break-beat, drum & bass and ambient. Children Of Dub continue their sonic innovation with this release..' CDuctive
'Through the 11 tracks they create a stunning audio beauty with influences and sounds from the four corners of the globe. A spacey dub feel to a lot of it helps create a sort of hypnotic edge to it making it the kind of thing you could listen to all the way through and not notice that you have spent over an hour listening to it!' Oblivion magazine

"Forward
thinking dynamism of a Weatherall project.." DJ
"Leading the field in the under-rated dub scene, C.O.D. have
turned in a sp(l)iffing album 8/10' Muzik
"An album of massive, rollicking bass lines at play with
shuddering reverbed vocals and studio tricks reminiscent of some
of the original dub maestros." All
Music Guide
'Some excellent ambient dub contained within this,,, deep dub bass lines, some amazing percussion sounds. Lots of acid weirdness mixed up to produce some damn fine chilled chilled dub sounds.' Gulfin
'...a
stonking fantastic album full of everything that makes
C.O.D. so special - they have no real competition.' Sexual
Chocolate
'Some albums bug me but this one just keeps growing better with each listen.' Wax
'This music fits the title. The very low bass is the bottom line. On top they weave layers of more subtle sounds: Tibetan bowls, pleasant electronic sounds, voice fragments in loops, reminiscent at times of tribal like singing, electronic percussion. A sensitive work of art, not the heavy going dub at all.' Kindred Spirit
'A band whose dub dance takes elements of The Orb, Adrian Sherwood, Lee Perry and Leftfield and mixes them up for those trance, dub, chill-out moments. Track 6 'Herb' enters Dreadzone territory, only played slow. Skin up, sit back and chill out , to coin a phrase!' Mixmag

"Another fine album of upbeat chill-out. This time also dubbed-out. In places it up-tempos itself onto the dance floor." Dream
"Their aptly named 'Chameleon' album wanders the branches of dance culture and takes on its different moods, from lush sweeps of orchestration to spiky get-up-and-groove numbers." WOMAD'A Magick Eye release and a new band that combines the best of bands Banco De Gaia, Astralasia, etc. and mix it with trancey dub. Superb relaxing dub trance chill out sounds with an exotic ethnic edge.' Trancecentral
'Chameleon has all the nips and tucks in the right places: the beats are straight out of the book, the synths go widdly widdly like you'd expect while the dubby basslines and echo-laden effects suggest it took more than a couple of Rizlas to complete the whole shooting match.' Future Music
'they create an exceedingly lovely ambient dub soundscape that it's impossible to fault.' Wax
'A 70 minutes bubbling dance journey that gently satisfies... yeah we rather like it, good stuff.' The Beat
'The flow of this album is outstanding. By far the most consistent and beautiful album by this project... Chameleon is a one of a kind album in the Children Of dub repertoire, that can only be understood with the other 3 albums.' Discogs

"A wonderfully psychedelic feel pervades this dubby ambient album which would make perfect flotation tank listening 4/5." Music Week
"There will come an hour in my life when this is the only music I can listen to� Sometimes wallpaper sings to me, and this album is a compilation of some of its favourite tunes." The Idler
'We have road tested this Lp
extensively and in several different recreational situations,
This album has performed excellently under all conditions.. It
is a selection of sounds guaranteed to further stimulate the
endorfin levels at any time - day or night..' Brumbeat
'A lovely testament to live musicianship in the dance arena offering heaps of percussion , a singing sitar and much trance revelry... This album won't fix what's broken but it's a welcome distraction.' Generator
'Interesting release available from C.O.D., who are on a mellow house/trance tip., mellow ambient stuff..' The Prisoner
