The minimalist Helge Tømmervåg has been a long time fan of the dub-vocalist Tikiman from the Caribbeans (now living in Germany), especially his collaboration with the Berlin-minimalists Rhythm and Sound. When they met at the Fløyen-festival in Bergen in 2001, Tikiman joined Mind over MIDI on stage and jammed on a couple of tracks. Helge sent some tracks down to Tikiman, who picked two tracks that he added his familiar far-out dubby vocals to. Both of these can be enjoyed on this fine 10". Arctic minimalism meets Caribbean dub!

The track Champion is DEEP techno which I believe is produced in the arctic circle, at least it has the sound of it. Very special and very good. With Tikiman "dub toasting" over the nice arctic coolness loop. The flip is also good.
