		dub housing project feels very original in character.
		it feels like a mix of idm, trip hop and dub and i would say is both its strength and weakness.
		there are a lot of cool elements and effects in it, a laidback trumpet, delayed dub chords, detailed drum programming etc. i am not sure that these elements really fit together though.

		As such, DUB HOUSING, 10 months its junior, was always going to have a hard act to follow.
		DUB HOUSING rode along on Tony Maimone`s fluid bass work on "I Will Wait" and "Navvy," periodically breaking down into ordered chaos.
		DUB HOUSING, wrapped in a dark and uninviting sleeve, is named after the ambience of terraced homes in Baltimore.

		Dub was then such an intriguing abstract concept, and it was hard to reconcile it with the Ubu image which was so anti-pop it was disconcerting.
		Now, Dub Housing sounds terrific, and is probably the most consistent, cohesive Ubu record.
		They were always slightly defiantly rooted in the Beefheart and orthodox r'n'b, but on Dub Housing this takes more of a garage twist and it's possible to see how they could have influenced the emerging UK explorers like The Fall, Pop Group, Josef K, by fusing the experimental with the finest fundamentals of pop.

		Dub Housing is the second album by Pere Ubu.

	Pere Ubu: Dub Housing: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Releasing an album seething with deformed musical ideas like Dub Housing in 1978 was to set yourself up for financial failure and virtual obscurity, of course.
		There are some discernible pop undercurrents on Dub Housing that don't hook you instantly-- rather, they tend to slowly unravel and reveal themselves with a little persistent listening.
		And in today's disturbingly conservative times, Dub Housing still manages to stand out like a singular musical oddity in a rock and roll universe where base conventionality and bland stereotypes still captivate mass audiences everywhere.

		Dub Housing, the second album by Pere Ubu, has the effect of an extremely stimulating dream: images and emotions emerge from cacophonous songs only to disappear just as quickly, never to be found again in subsequent listenings.
		In any given Pere Ubu composition, cracked and mostly incoherent phrases are wailed in a high monotone by lead singer David Thomas, while a wooden riff is systematically splintered by the guitars and keyboards.
		Instead of sounding like a mess, however, Dub Housing coheres as a lyrical work devoid of the sentimentalism that so many lyrical works drown in.

	Pere Ubu Albums, 1975-82
		Considered in a reasonably recent rock stream, it [Dub Housing] is more aggressively "symphonic" than Henry Cow (deep), but more sympathetically alienated or alienating than The Sex Pistols (shallow).
		These re-releases [Dub Housing and New Picnic Time] showcase a brilliant band breaking every rule of aesthetics.
		Weird, wonderful and so far beyond the expected that these deconstructions of popular music [Dub Housing and New Picnic Time] are as charmingly retro as the Beatles and as modern as today's blendings of funk, hip-hop and alt-rock.

	King Tubby tribute
		A few aspects of King Tubby have remained integral to the dub genre: the bass and drums are mixed high in the mix; the melodies are mixed in spordically.
		A lot of hip hop employs the dub tradition of giving the bass and drums most of the room in the mix, and is open ended enough to be edited in remix for use by dj's.
		The dub engineer with his tapes is analogous to the dj with his records and mixing deck.

		The differences with Dub Housing are not that strong.
		Compared to Dub Housing there seems to be even a bit more experimentation here and more of a variety in moods.
		On Dub Housing there were some danceable pieces even (although strange ones), but that has gone on this album making it a more definite statement than the previous.

		With Dub Housing (Chrysalis, 1978), produced in a more professional manner, the visionary tone is accentuated but the atmosphere becomes even more ominous.
		Even the absurdist lied of Dub Housing, in which Thomas's desperate vocalisation is accompanied by a free jazz background of piano and clarinet, celebrates solitude and failure.
		Anche il lied dell'assurdo di Dub Housing, in cui il vocalizzo disperato di Thomas e` accompagnato da un sottofondo free jazz di piano e clarinetto, celebra solitudine e fallimento.

		Spot — SST's house producer who manned the boards for Zen Arcade and New Day Rising — didn't produce Flip Your Wig, Hüsker Dü's second album of 1985, and the difference is immediately noticeable.
		Everything on Flip Your Wig is cleaner and brighter than on its two immediate predecessors, which is appropriate, considering that Bob Mould and Grant Hart have only increased their debt to '60s pop.
		Which means Hart's love song "Green Eyes" and Mould's pure pop single "Makes No Sense at All" are delivered with the same rage and passion as Mould's blistering "Divide and Conquer" and Hart's "Keep Hanging On," or the pair of surging, neo-psychedelic and noise-wracked instrumentals tha more...

	earpollution album reviews - issue 1.09, september 1999
		An hour long mix of live and studio material that is unlike any you have ever heard, The Collapsing Void is the screaming, agonizing wail of your music collection being reconstructed and deconstructed and stretched to the bare edge of recognition.
		Dub Housing may be the better effort (New Picnic Time is just a bit too loose and unstructured), but both are strangely beautiful and melodic despite, and often because of, Ubu's typical penchant for experimenting.
		Dub, punk, calypso, disco, acoustic ballads and hushed techno interludes.

		The songs are very catchy things, similar in sound to 60s rock, new wave pop, dub reggae and even, okay I admit it, a little bit of midtempo punk.
		Dub Housing may not be the masterpiece everyone says, but it is a very good album and I can't believe you give this piece of arty twadle a higher rating.
		I'm not going to bother defending Marilyn Manson, Genesis, Crowded House, or Monster Magnet, but I will say that I love them, and when you go talking about what shit they are and then practically deifying stuff I can't stand like The Ramones and Kiss, that hurts, confuses, and irritates me.

		The Modern Dance and Dub Housing (both 1978), and the earlier recordings collected on 1985's Terminal Tower, constitute the eeriest and most musically adventurous of all late-'70s American punk.
		From the early singles through The Modern Dance, Pere Ubu's music -- Allen Ravenstein's uncanny, keening synth notwithstanding -- was recognizably in the pre-punk anti-tradition of the Stooges and the Velvet Underground; on the amazing Dub Housing the song structures disintegrated and Thomas's vocal performance at times resembled speaking in tongues more than ordinary language.
		Somehow it still sounded like rock and roll -- unlike the band's subsequent records of the early 1980s, where Thomas followed his muse into found-object experiments, the Jehovah's Witnesses, and baby talk.

		The group's first album, The Modern Dance, sold only 15,000 copies initially but it was a startling work that influenced an entire generation of bands.
		Its follow-up, Dub Housing, was the masterpiece, "an incomparable work of American genius." Pere Ubu toured Europe extensively in 1978.
		Late in 1979 Tom Herman left and was replaced by Mayo Thompson, the guitarist from 60's Texas psychedelic-rock legends The Red Crayola.

		If I had to pick two albums by this band, The Modern Dance and Dub Housing would win hands-down.
		I like the albums that followed, especially New Picnic Time and The Art Of Walking, but from that point on, the band drifted towards a more accessible sound.
		On The Modern Dance and Dub Housing, the music is as harsh and edgy as they would ever get...an uneasy pairing of comic and threatening.

	Robert Christgau: CG: Pere Ubu
		Side one is the long unavailable Datapanik in the Year Zero EP, itself comprising two indie singles and a compilation cut and as powerful a sequence as side one of Dub Housing nevertheless.
		Side two collects the kind of oddments that rarely cohere on LP, yet here the outtakes and B sides and stray singles come together as a record of David Thomas's slide or progress from willed optimism to blessed whimsy.
		Yes, this is Ubu--four of the seven players were on Dub Housing.

		Though perhaps not as spastic as earlier works from the Pere Ubu catalog, St Arkansas sounds like the Pere Ubu that made the band so important.
		Sure, the album may not be as "artsy and abstract but still rocking and listenable" as The Modern Dance and Dub Housing, but it makes a worthwhile twelfth album.
		How could it be that much worse if it has the same lineup and if it was released in the year that followed Dub Housing's release?

		The bizarro party vibe that permeated their early classic material is long gone.
		The earliest incarnation of Pere Ubu (late 70's/early 80's) produced some incredible albums ("The Modern Dance", "Dub Housing") but also a few so-so efforts, and this reminds me of the more lackluster albums from that period.
		In 1995 they turned away from pop with the brilliant "Ray Gun Suitcase", which called to mind the classic "Dub Housing" album from 1979.

		My favorite song on the album is the semi-instrumental Blow Daddy-o that has an ominous and hypnotic instrumental texture with background whispers.
		The music is art rock with visceral appeal and although Dub Housing is considered a masterpiece, my real rating is three and a half stars.
		Dub Housing, Pere Ubu's second studio album, is arguably the best avant-garde rock album of all time.

		Thomas is certainly bouncing off the walls, along with the rest of his merry band.
		Evidently they must have thought, in a fit of crazed hindsight, that 1978's innovative (and sufficiently weird) Dub Housing sounded too poppy.
		And although the critical establishment is notorious for letting both bone- numbing minimalist repetition and rampant, rudderless insanity undeservedly pass for unquestionable brilliance, I do honestly think some of New Picnic Time makes for some riveting listening.

		Cut (along with albums by bands like Public Image Limited, Gang of Four, XTC, and The Clash) is now considered an important part of the history and development of the punk-dub hybridization as a fairly prominent style of late-'70s English youth culture.
		On the American front, Cleveland band Pere Ubu also dabbled in the subgenre, on Dub Housing and other early (post-Peter Laughner) releases.
		To me, the best "punk" bands have been the ones who tried to push the musical style beyond its boundaries.

		This five-CD set documents the beginning to middle period of their career, including five early records, 17 live tracks, and an entire disc of songs from various side projects and Ubu-related acts.
		"The Fevered Dreams of Hernando DeSoto" reprises the band's ongoing interest in inland surf music, "Hell" decelerates to the timeless inner landscape of Ubu masterpiece Dub Housing, and "Dark" is nine minutes of David Lynchian lost-highway dread.
		The hit is "Slow Walking Daddy," five minutes of yeah-yeah pop sung by an insane traveling salesman.
