Divination

Divination is one of the many projects of bassist, producer and record laber owner Bill Laswell. Two albums were released under this moniker in 1993 and 1994, respectively: Ambient Dub Vol. I and Divination: Ambient Dub, Volume Two - Dead Slow.

The two albums are similar in their ideals, though different in execution. Vol. I is woven more around textured guitars, dark synths and electronics and Laswell's own groovy bass. Volume Two tends more towards the "ambient" - in the electronic sense of the genre - than the "dub", featuring swirling pads, looped percussion, little or no vocals (or guitars) and little in the way of the Carribean roots of dub.
