Hello,
I have heard of a group (?) called Bomb the Bass. But have never heard any of
their music.
To people in the know, what do they sound like ? (front 242 variation ? rap ?
village people ? christian music ? weird electronic beats ?)

Thanks ..

I guess you could call them almost weird electronic beats. They have a song
called BEAT DIS which has a lot of sampling and is on the "acid" side. The
also have a single "Don't Make Me Wait" which sounds really almost top-40.
And the album called (i think) INTO THE DRAGON. Hope that helps......

Probably the latter, though they're not particularly *weird* per se.
They have a strong acid-house/hip-hop edge and use a lot of sampling;
some of their stuff is superficially similar to Colourbox in some ways,
though IMHO not as interesting musically. The only thing they have out
on this side of the pond that I'm aware of the "Beat Dis" 12", which
rode the forward wave of the house attack in the UK early last year.

I don't have their album _Into The Dragon_ but there's a three-pack of
CD-singles out there (for "Beat Dis," "Megablast/Don't Make Me Wait," and
"Say A Little Prayer") that's pretty worthwhile.
