''No Warranty Dubs'' is made by a logic powerhouse combination, Jimi Tenor & Kabukabu meets DJ Sotofett, with most of what you can expect from all parts involved. You're served Afro Dub & Jazz in a bold and classic sonic execution. Through all 15 cuts the echoes are real and rhythms upfront, with proper extended Disco Dubs and versions of Afrobeat and Free Jazz contrasting body and soul. The album is tuneful and rugged, some cuts have vocals & synth swimming alone, while others glue the drummers groove to slick piano from beginning till end. Followers of Jimi Tenor's life in music will be able to dive into his trademark song writing, signature flute breathing and indistinguishable style of saxophone playing, as well as his tender and electrifuingly psychedelic vocals known from early days of Puu/S?hk? and Warp releases. Kabukabu's heavyweight instrumental performance trancends regular studio recordings with joy and precision as a core element. Kabukabu's Ekow Alabi Savage aka Ekowmania (from last years ''Dr.Afrodub'' album) embeds deep rhythm knowledge throughout the entire musical landscape. Last in the chain is DJ Sotofett, producing and mixing his probably most classically crafted output to date. With silky gloves and clanking wrenches every element has been tweaked, re-mixed & dubbed excessively to justify a fully musical, psychedelic, warm and rhythmically rich experience. ''No Warranty Dubs'' is as warm as the chords of ''Money Palaver (Extra Warm Mix)'', and as bombastic as opening track ''Fujitronic (Flute Mix)''. The album reaches it's most tender moments with the sweet ''Musical Message (Disco Dub)'' and dives straight into obscurity when guest drummer Ilmari Heikinheimo contributes to ''Otto Part 4'', a rare freejazz cut with TR-909 tickering from start til end. The simplicity of ''Tronic Rhythms (Flute Dub)'' is worthy a tear in an eye, while brittle souls can scatter to the thunderous horns and drenched rhythms of ''Kabu Anthem (Cosmic Dub)''.
