Jack Dangers

由Jack Danger 领军的Meat Beat Manifesto 自'88年成军起，便持续地在Break Beat，Trip hop，Drum n' Bass等电子舞曲方面尝试各类实验，并一再突破工业舞曲 / 电音的范畴。MBM独特的Electro Funk包含大量生动灵活Bass节拍，其影响甚至可及现下极为出名的Chemical Brothers，Future Sound of London或是Prodigy等。虽并未受到如上述各团般的重视， 但MBM仍在各处热烈拥护者的支持下不停的在地下埋首於各类独特的音乐实验。
MBM的音乐是 HIP HOP与INDUSTRIAL DANCE的合成物，其标志是JACK DANGERS一手贝司演奏绝活 噪音之间空灵氛围的铺陈。总体来说，MBM的作品不太吵闹，但与大多数优秀的INDUSTRIAL 乐一样，在并不多的歌词中充斥着失意和自毁，并且时不时引发DANGERS轻微的愤怒。MBM的专辑《ARMED AUDIO WARFARE》和《STORM THE STUDIO》直接促 成产生了现今电子乐界的两大重要派别：BIG BEAT和DRUM &BASS，并且影响了许多 后来人，这其中便有PRODIGY和CHEMICAL BROTHERS，当然就与SONIC YOUTH没有NIRVANA 那么流行一样，MBM的知名度远不及PRODIGY等乐队，甚至MBM今年为PRODIGY在美国的巡演做了几场暖场演出，DANGERS对此一点不作计较。随着队龄的增大， MBM 的音乐开始多样化，艺术性也得到了升华。其新专辑《ACTUAL SOUNDS AND VOICES》虽保留了MBM许多标志性的东西，但又新加入了JAZZ、JUNGLE、迷幻等元素，使许多欧美乐评家对它一致叫好。
Jack Dangers has become a source of inspiration -- recognized and unrecognized -- for many throughout the spectrum of electronica; just as Dangers himself was inspired as a young teenager by the cut up experimental electronics of Cabaret Voltaire and the techno-pop of Kraftwerk, there's little doubt that Dangers' output as the braintrust of Meat Beat Manifesto helped inspire the drum'n'bass, big beat, and trip-hop movements of the '90s, along with playing significant roles in industrial, acid house, and ambient techno.
Born Jack Corrigan in Swindon, England (born 1967), Dangers cut his teeth in the mid-'80s with future MBM accomplice Johnny Stephens in Perennial Divide. While his band was still active, he initiated Meat Beat for what he had planned to be a one-off, an outlet to release "I Got the Fear." Several albums later, Dangers' boundary-free, politically conscious outlet had become a prime player in the dance music community, gleaning as much influence from the likes of the Bomb Squad production team as he influenced others.
Dangers began racking up a number of production and remixing credits in the early '90s, helping out his friends in Consolidated and Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and remixing David Bowie, Bush, and Depeche Mode. He also paid a debt to Public Enemy by helping produce the He Got Game soundtrack and started the Tino Corp. label with video director Ben Stokes. In 2001, the Shadow label released Hello Friends!, a mix CD from Dangers that showcased the Tino Corp. catalog.
