...This music and album is one to appreciate. Salmonella Dub hails from Kaikoura, New Zealand and were formed in 1994.

Now there is something about the "Dub" genre that doesn't inspire me to write reviews, it inspires me to lie on the floor with no lights on and start to float away to places unknown simply by listening to this music.
So here we are, and the album comes in at a very respectable 1:12:56, which is masterfully long and just screams "epic tracks that will melt you to nothing".
