This debut EP by Raime is every bit as exciting as advance reports suggested. My first impression--like dubstep if it had sprouted from the blackened womb of Dead Can Dance rather than the nuum's fecund matrix--turns out to be not far off the mark, juding by the mix Raime recently did for Exotic Pylon (now available here, and here), which features tracks by early 4AD signing Rema Rema, The Danse Society, and AC Marias. More information on the mix's tracklist, and on the EP (self-titled, due September 13 on Blackest Ever Black) is available here.
