My top ten tracks of 2008: #08 “Poison Dart,” The Bug

4 Comments | Posted: December 15th, 2008 | Filed under: Music


With London Zoo, Kevin Martin took the the dubstep sound that’s followed drum & bass’s footsteps and disappeared up its own ass at an alarming rage and merged it back with dancehall before giving it an industrial treatment and firing out of a dub cannon. This track, “Poison Dart,” is perfect for late-night writing or performing sci-fi crimes against the system, a slow-grinding, meditative thing with just the right amount of spaciness. Apparently, The Bug have been opening for Nine Inch Nails on their latest tour. I can see precisely why Trent Reznor likes them, and why so many of his fans do not.

    You know, of all the songs on end-of-year lists I’ve been listening to, this one is the one most prone to get stuck in my head.

    This might be the only electronic album on my top ten list for the year, and it’s a serious contender for the #1 position.
