While Ice was nominally a hip-hop project, the tracks really sounded nothing like any rap music heard before it (though not after it; Def Jux may have ripped the script from Martin slightly). His debut on the Tigerbeat6 label associated with admirer Kid 606 is in similar fashion to his usual M.O. Yes, it's a dancehall project, but other than a few passing nods to the style, Pressure doesn't sound like a dancehall record. Though brutally powerful like the best dancehall records, it sacrifices much of the groove and replaces it with deep yet brittle drum programs; distorted, thudding basslines; and fragmentary shards of dub effects. Every track here has a vocalist, and Martin could hardly have chosen better — the list of collaborators includes a raft of distinctive, contemporary artists, such as Toastie Tailor from New Flesh, Daddy Freddy, the Rootsman, and the inimitable Paul St. Hilaire (a Rhythm & Sound collaborator whose previous handle, not to be mentioned here, was the subject of a vicious cease-and-desist order). Three tracks featuring Roger Robinson are closer to dub poetry, though, and allow Martin even more latitude for his productions; the spine-tingling "Thief of Dreams" recalls a half-stepper Basic Channel production. For those who'd be more interested in dancehall if not for the many crude, formulaic productions, Pressure is the perfect meld of experimental and energetic.

83/100 我也不算什么英国派电子(此处指dubstep 2-step grime garage dancehall相关等等等等)的粉丝,但这种带有民族特色的切分音底鼓确实一直是在我的groove舒适区内的,甚至可以把它当MIA伴奏带听
