Steadfast, Beat Pharmacy's third full length album, is an electronic dub classic of the highest order. Be prepared to be immersed in sensual cinematic landscapes of sound where throbbing dubby bass lines, psychedelic atmospheres, hypnotic grooves and haunting melodies morph from cosmos to cosmos in a truly magical and enduring fashion. The references that have shaped the Beat Pharmacy sound are all quite prevalent, but Brendon's evocative interpretation reveals a vision and soul that guarantees an inspirational journey while paying homage to the pioneers that have so inspired him. Every track is completely solid, there is no filler to be found on this album. The album kicks off with the earthy Nature's Disco, a fresh-sounding tune where bouncing synths, reverberating vocals and afro guitars chug along on top of a syncopated rhythm. This is followed by the playful musical opiate, Long Beach, which could serve as the perfect soundtrack for skipping a long a beach at sunset. Drifter is an organic slice of progressive jazz funk that's destined to get heads boppin' and feet trippin'. King's Highway is a dub reggae gem that would make King Tubby proud, as would the stunningly transcendent Dub Truck. For the true beatheads, there's Mental Universe featuring talented Brooklyn MC, Negus Shabaka whose philosophical roots rapping fits perfectly on top of the gritty future-dub style riddim. The track Frozen is a masterpiece of techno dub. Enough to produce blissed out states of hypnosis and involuntary swaying.
