The Bug has infested, multiplied and laid my brain to waste.
Poision Dart is a killer selection.
Some of London Zoo reminds me of stuff on Adrian Sherwood's Becoming a
Cliche/Dub Cliche collection of radical dub music.
If you like trippy dance music check out
The Sound of Future Russia, a collection of music from the underground club scene in the Moscow/St. Petersburg.
Fela's music has afro-funk riddims with the heavily stacked drums sound is similar.
Asian Dub Foundation has a similar Bombay trip hop sound. The Bug's sample on
Poison Dart sounds very close to the Asian Dub Foundation's
Riddim I Like.
M.I.A.'s frenetic raps resemble the deconstructed primativism the Bug's rappers.
The Bug has such an extensive matrix of musical influences it's hard to describe to anyone who hasn't heard them.
