I've always heard of Canadian brothers electronic duo Legion of Green Men but I never got an album. I picked up their latest mini-album Baqontraq and have been listening to it here and there for the last couple of months. It came out in 2007. The album seems to center around "baq". Song titles like "Kiqbaq", "Dubbaq", "Rollbaq"... This albums's got "baq". I wonder if it stand for the backbeat. Most of the songs seem to come from the same sound set. It's like it's their own remix album. I was annoyed at first but then I dug it. The music is a fun combo of electro and dub music. Very spatial and atmospheric. Lot's of reverb on sounds here and there. This inital taste of these guys make me want more. There is one non-baq track at the end called "Tuggathanug" and it fits pretty well. The album was released limited to 777 copies. If you got it on Emusic like I did then you don't get the secret track. You have to rewind from track 1 to hear it on the cd. These are definitely green men and they are legion! Collect them all.
