King Tubby & Friends - Dub Gone Crazy
2007-12-14 19:47:00
King Tubby & Friends - Dub Gone Crazy Label - Blood & FireRecorded - 197xStyle - Reggae , Dub, Lee Library , TubbyThe second release for new revival label Blood & Fire, again featuring some vintage Bunny Lee productions, this time dub instrumentals from the years 1975/9. All the tracks were mixed at King Tubby's studio in Kingston, either by the late dubmaster himself or one of three engineers who graduated in turn from Tubby's academy of dub on Drumlie Avenue with flying colours. Dub was then exploring brave new frontiers, soon reaching unparalleled heights of innovation and execution. Whilst its origins have recently been brought into question by certain elements of the reggae press, few would dispute that King Tubby was at the heart of its development. In his hands the raw rhythms laid by musicians such as Sly, Robbie, Carlton and Family Man Barrett, Earl 'Chinna' Smith, Jackie Mittoo, Santa Davis, Winston Wright and other Jamaican greats were transformed into spiritually charge...

King Tubby & Prince Jammy - Dub Gone 2 Crazy
2007-12-14 19:40:00
King Tubby & Prince Jammy - Dub Gone 2 Crazy Label - Blood & FireRecorded - 197xStyle - Dub, Reggae , Tubby, Jammy, Lee Library Dub music is a spin-off of reggae music, where the studio's mixing board is used as an instrument, an artfully used device for taking a finished song and de- and re-constructing it in unusual ways. Two of dub's leading lights, the influential King Tubby and his protege Prince Jammy, take songs by Johnnie Clark, Jackie Mittoo, and Delroy Wilson and add explosions of echo and eerie sound effects, de-emphasizing certain instruments and distorting others, until the result is completely their own.Tubby was and remains a major influence on reggae, dub, electronica and experimental rock bands--the music of Mad Professor, Tricky, and Laika, among others, bears the stamp of his uniquely inventive style. The musicians on this collection include such reggae stars as Earl "Chinna" Smith, Ansell Collins, and the ubiquitous rhythm team Sly & Robbie. DUB GONE 2 CRAZY is hi...

Prince Far I & The Arabs - Cry Tuff Dub Encounter, Chapter 1
2007-12-14 19:34:00
Prince Far I & The Arabs - Cry Tuff Dub Encounter, Chapter 1Label - Danceteria/ROIRRecorded - 197xStyle - Dub, Overdub, On-U Sound, Lee Library , Reggae , Rasta British dub master Adrian Sherwood collaborated with iconic Jamaican toaster Prince Far I for the first time on this powerful slice of version reggae, which includes performances from the likes of Sly Dunbar, Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Earl "Chinna" Smith, and Dennis Bovell. While Prince Far I's vocals are not to be heard on these sessions, the deep-rooted presence of his personality is certainly felt, and the strength of the rhythms bubbling up through Sherwood's layers of echo and reverb are striking in and of themselves. While these cuts sound fathoms deep, on closer examination Sherwood's arrangements are pleasingly uncluttered, and while he certainly avails himself of the many possibilities of his mixing board, the effects thankfully don't wear out their welcome -- the strength of the performances and the skills of th...

The Skatalites & King Tubby - The Legendary Skatalites In Dub
2007-12-12 15:51:00
Combine the talents of Lee Perry, the Skatalites and King Tubby all at the height of their powers, and the results were bound to be spectacular. Sessions at Lee Perry's Black Ark Studio and Aquarius Studio resulted in the release of an instrumental album, The Legend ary Skatalites (1975). Soon after, a dub set, Herb Dub Collie Dub, appeared in very limited numbers. In 1998 Motion Records released a companion set of alternative dubs on Heroes Of Reggae In Dub, to widespread critical acclaim. A vinyl re-issue of Herb Dub Collie Dub in 2001 also gained a great reception. The Legendary Skatalites In Dub completes the set with the pick of the remaining tracks from the 1975 sessions plus a sought-after vocal cut entitled 'Starlight'.The list of musicians on this album reads like a Who's Who of Jamaican music, and includes Roland Alphonso, Lloyd Brevett, Tommy McCook, Ernest Ranglin, and Augustus Pablo. The music itself is classic seventies dub reggae built on the acoustic bass of Lloyd...

Burning Spear - 100th Anniversary (Marcus Garvey + Garvey's Ghost)
2007-12-12 15:48:00
1975 to 1976Rodney retires to St. Ann?s Bay to contemplate his next move. He is approached by local sound system operator Jack Ruby, who offers a 50/50 partnership. The first single the pair produces, ?Marcus Garvey," provides a new template for Burning Spear, now a trio with the addition of Delroy Hinds (brother of ska vocalist Justin Hinds). The partnership between Ruby and Spear produces one of the all-time great reggae records, Marcus Garvey. Whereas the Studio One sound is increasingly stuck in the past, Marcus Garvey is the sound of the present, blending the early ?70s Wailers sound (best captured on Burnin? and Talking Blues) with plaintive horns, chanted lyrics and jazz-tinged guitar work from veteran session player Earl "Chinna" Smith. Always intended as an album-length statement, each song iterates different aspects of Garveyism and Rasta teaching. The title tune single-handedly revives interest in Garvey's life and teachings, which had been overshadowed by the more radic...

Gregory Isaacs - Dub A De Number One
2007-12-12 15:45:00
With over 25 years of experience in the reggae industry the one and only, veteran sound of Gregory Isaac"s has become world renown. A whole generation of Jamaicans and reggae fans literally grew up with his music. Nicknamed The Cool Ruler, Gregory Isaacs , born 1951, Kingston, Jamaica, has produced during a three decade career a trailer load of reggae classics.

Gregory Isaacs - Slum In Dub
2007-12-12 15:42:00
Songs from Slum In Dub have popped up on dub compilations for years, and on the comps I own with songs from Slum always ended up being my favorites, but the actual album of this has eluded me for years. I was completely stunned to simply find it inconspicuously sitting in a record shop bin in NY on a recent trip. It's that familiar routine: there's some running mental list of records that seem to be nothing but elusive and so many bins end up being checked when away from home that the expectations are next to zero. Now I'm more than thrilled to know it is now being widely distributed again thanks to Mr. Isaacs ' own African Museum label.As aforementioned these songs always stood out above the rest on dub comps: deep and dirty sounds were soaked with soul and almost completely void of vocals. Bass and drums groove along with the rhythm guitar while a keyboard instrument (melodica or organ) takes the lead. More than likely there's somebody present whose primary function is to trig...

The legendary Roots Radics band was associated with his Midnight Rock label, and the King Tubby's Hidden Treasure session was one of the best they produced. Recorded by the crack band -- Style Scott on drums, Flabba Holt on bass, Dwight Pinkney on guitar, and Bingy Bunny on rhythm guitar, plus Steely Johnson on organ and Dean Fraser on saxophone -- then mixed down by King Tubby himself, these tracks have the skeletal feel and lurching rhythms of early-'80s dancehall, including highlights like "King Tubby's Gold Dub" and "King Tubby's Grown Dub."

Morwell Unlimited Meet King Tubby's - Dub MeLabel - Blood&FireRecorded - 1975-ishStyle - Dub, Reggae , Tubbys, Lee Library By 1975, the Jamaican dub had evolved from being a mere instrumental version of a singer's hit to a unique creative force. Instruments began dropping in and out of the mix unexpectedly, vocals appeared only to be frozen in time by heavy doses of echo and reverb, and filtered drums started changing shape before listeners' ears. The first shots had been fired two years earlier, with the near-simultaneous release of Lee "Scratch" Perry's Blackboard Jungle Dub, Herman Chin Loy's Aquarius Dub, and Clive Chin's Java Java Dub opening the floodgates. Lost in the shuffle during the years that followed was this 1975 encounter between King Tubby and the Morwells. Formed in 1973 by Maurice Wellington and Eric Lamont, the duo soon began releasing music on their own MOR-WELL ESQ label. For Dub Me (1975), Tubby draws heavily upon the Morwells' debut album, Presenting the ...

The Mighty Two - African Dub All-Mighty
2007-12-05 17:47:00
Joe Gibbs was one of Jamaica's most influential producers during the seventies and early eighties. His long-lasting relationship with the late sound engineer Errol Thompson, who had left Randy's Studio 17 prior to working with Joe Gibbs, resulted in producing well over one hundred #1 hit records. They became famously known as 'The Mighty Two'.Dub versions of popular Jamaican songs started emerging in the late 60's. Eventually, studio engineers and producers such as King Tubby, Derrick Harriot, Clive Chin, Errol Thompson and Harry Mudie mixed and modified the dub tracks, occasionally using the voice as an additional instrument. The evolution of dub finally led to point were the dub tracks stood on their own. Consequently, full length dub albums began to appear, initially in small pressings with high prices. The "African Dub" series was instrumental in this popularization, making the UK charts in 1977.This CD comprises the first two volumes of the "African Dub" series and feature...

The set was done after Pascoal's work in Quarteto Novo but before some of his more complicated jazz albums of the 70s -- and it's got a style that mixes his own love of playful rhythms and complicated shadings with a lighter, freer approach to the music -- one that's almost in line with some of the EMI/Odeon work of the time, but which comes off with a slightly different feel. The drums get quite funky at times, and the mix of instruments reminds us a fair bit of the legendary Aquarians album on Uni from the US -- but with an influence that's more bossa-driven, in comparison to the Latin modes of that set...

The music is beyond reproach here, with artists like Robbie Shakespeare, Tommy McCook, Robbie Lyn, Earl "Chinna" Smith," Carlton "Santa" Davis, Geoffrey Chung, and even Peter Tosh contributing to the mix. Like the vocal version of the album, a distinctly funky atmosphere prevails, and without the vocals, you can focus on the groovy bass lines, crashing cymbals, wa-wa guitars, soaring horns, and synth effects. Thankfully, snippets of the female background singers are left in, the added echoes giving them an almost ghostly feel.

King Tubby - Loving Memory Dub
2007-11-28 15:16:00
King Tubby - Loving Memory DubLabel - Fuel 2000Released - 2005Style - Dub, Reggae , Lee Library If anyone has a claim to having "invented" dub reggae, it is King Tubby. As a disc cutter at Treasure Isle, Osbourne Ruddock enjoyed access to the label's archives. He used this to press exclusive instrumental versions of R&B and rock steady classics -- the very first dub plates -- to play on his Home Town Hi-Fi soundsystem, the idea being to give his DJs (including the one and only U-Roy) more opportunity to showcase their vocal skills. After conducting this experiment for the first time at a 1969 dance, King Tubby's popularity soared and he was courted for production work with Jamaica's top talent, the fruits of which include Blackboard Jungle Dub with Lee Perry and the sublime King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown with Augustus Pablo. A gifted electrical engineer, he went on to develop such techniques as splitting a record's frequencies between amplifiers (enabling him to alter instrument ...

Gato Negro - Black Cat DubLabel - RoirReleased - 1991Style - Dub, Reggae , Feline, Lee Library (from Reggae-reviews.com)Gato Negro, AKA Black Cat AKA Emmanuel Okoronta, is a dubster from Nigeria who sounds something like a cross between Lee "Scratch" Perry and Augustus Pablo -- the former because of his semi-crazed, rambling vocals (though still more coherent than Perry) and the latter because of his frequent use of the airy melodica. At times, this combination of sounds rivals the genius of Gato Negro's predecessors -- as on "Armageddon," "Conflagration," and "Reggae for Lumumba". The overall sound is nice; big fans of dub -- especially the old-fashioned, rootsy, '70s style -- should find it appealing.Tracklist:1. Armageddon2. Conflagration3. Soul Fire4. Mask5. Ghost Dance6.
