Various Artists - Dub Xperience - The Dread Operators: An On-U Sound Compil
2008-01-18 17:50:00 Various Artists - Dub Xperience - The Dread Operators: An On-U Sound CompilationLabel: Cherry Red - Cleopatra RecordsRecord date: 1981-84Album Style: Dub, Experimental, Lee Library, Roots, UK StyleeFrom beginning to end, this album is packed with great dub, roots, and early dancehall recorded between 1981 and 1984. There isn't the over-production and/or over-experimentation that plagues some On-U Sound releases, and neither is there the generic sound that plagues others. This is just good old-fashioned reggae in all its glory. Creation Rebel and Singers & Players dominate Dub Xperience, each contributing 4 strong tunes. Creation Rebel's "Independent Man," a cover of Bob Andy's "Unchained," may be the best song here, with its classic, emotional roots melody and driving bass, while "Chemical Specialist" -- the dub version of Jah Woosh's fun "Woodpecker Sound" (in which he mimics a woodpecker's call) -- and "Eugenic Device" are inventive dubs. Singers & Players meanwhile c...
Various Artists - In Dub Daze: An On-U Sound Compilation
2008-01-18 17:48:00 Various Artists - In Dub Daze: An On-U Sound CompilationLabel Cherry Red - Cleopatra RecordsRecord date: 1981-84Album Style: Dub, Experimental, Lee Library, Roots, UK StyleeCollecting together Adrian Sherwood-produced dubs recorded between 1981 and 1984, In Dub Daze was released in 1996 and then re-packaged in 1999 with A Party of Dubbers and Toasters and Dub Xperience: The Dread Operators as the On-U Sound Box. In Dub Daze is the most experimental, with only about half of the tracks being traditional dub or reggae. Much of this album is influenced by the early '80s New Wave and electro-funk scenes -- "Feeling Wild" and "Technical Miracle" by Voice of Authority being examples of the former and "Stopping and Starting" by Voice of Authority and "Parasitic Machine" by Alan Pellay of the latter. Of the more traditional dub cuts, Creation Rebel's "Rubber Skirt" -- which utilizes the music from John Holt's "Love I Can Feel" -- and "Painstaker," along with Singers & Players' "Alla ...

Burning Spear - Spear Burning
2008-01-14 20:50:00 Burning Spear - Spear BurningLabel: Pressure SoundsRecord date: 1975-79Album style: Dub, Lee Library, RootsBurning Spear's music is undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of reggae and he is probably the most respected roots artist of his generation. He has toured and recorded consistently for the last twenty five years and has always made music that is exceptional in both its quality and its themes.Born in St Ann's Bay on Jamaica's North Coast he first worked with the legendary Studio One label before moving on to Jack Ruby and recording the epochal 'Marcus Garvey' album. Pressure Sounds have collected seventeen self-produced tracks that were recorded after 'Marcus Garvey' and never before released on CD including 'Travelling' 'Spear Burning' and 'Free Black People'. All were recorded and released in the mid to late seventies on his own Spear label when Burning Spear was at the height of his powers. ~pressure.co.ukTracklist:1. Travelling2. Walking (Version)3.

Skin, Flesh & Bones Meet The Revolutionaries - Fighting Dub
2008-01-14 20:47:00 Skin, Flesh & Bones Meet The Revolutionaries - Fighting DubLabel: Hot PotRecord date: 1975Album style: Dub, Lee Library, RootsOriginally recorded in 1975 and released on the Love Label, the album is reissued here in its entirety. Most of the tracks were laid at Randy?s studio, and subsequently mixed at Joe Gibbs studio by the late Eroll ?ET? Thompson. The original album features dub cuts of many of Lloyd?s Campbell?s hits up that time, including ?Dread Out Deh?, ?Jacket?, ?Won?t You Come Home?, ?First Cut Is The Deepest? and others.Listening to the album with hindsight, it can be seen as a blueprint for the ?rockers? sound developed by Sly Dunbar at Channel One in the period shortly after its release. In fact, Lloyd was to work consistently with Sly and the Revolutionaries throughout the late 1970s. Along the way, he helped Donovan Germain make his first records, Joy White?s ?Love Is A Message? and Ronnie Davis & the Itals ?Equality & Justice?. Lloyd carried Germain to T...

The cuts collected here present a fascinating insight into the young Dubmaster's early efforts, while the rhythms themselves, some played by an embryonic version of Roots Radics, mark the transition point from the reggae styles of the seventies into what would become known as dancehall. ~bloodandfire.co.ukTracklist:1.- King Tubby's Answer2.

Live recordings from dubplates with intros by the legendary Fuzzy Jones!KING TUBBY and THE FIREHOUSE REVOLUTIONBy the early eighties dub was no longer perceived as a cutting edge music and its innovations had long been assimilated into the musical mainstream. Tubby realised that the days of his now classical production techniques were over and decided to take a new step: in 1985 he build a new studio in the heart of the Kingston ghetto,the Waterhouse District. During the run up to elections gunshots would echo throughout the neighbourhood with such alarming frequency that the area was renamed FIREHOUSE by its local residents. The new studio there was then equipped with lots of new technology like a bigger mixing desk - and digital...

However, during the eighties Tubby went on from strength to strength when he rebuilt his Waterhouse studio in the heart of the Kingston ghetto. The area had more than earned its reputation as a catalyst for innovation and had produced many of Jamaica's finest vocalists and musicians. It also had a reputation for violence and unrest and the residents referred to it as 'Firehouse'.This time round Tubby put his energies towards building up his studio and encouraging the many talented Waterhouse youths, guiding them through their engineering duties, and placing them at the forefront of his new studio's output. So what we have on this album are sixteen tracks that are essentially 'executive' productions from the King.The album begins with three stunning cuts of the 'Tempo' r...

Produced in conjunction with the man who started the London based label, Rib?s, Unity Sounds specialised in the mid eighties birth of Dancehall, not the gun toting Hip-Hop influenced Dancehall of modern Jamaica, but sublime digital Reggae that has been hugely influential on artists like Rocker Hi-Fi and Rhythm & Sound, whose Moritz Von Oswald has remastered this material.Selah Collins ?Pick A Sound? begins proceedings with its "version" following (as are most cuts on the album).

The Revolutionaries / Tappa Zukie - Escape From Hell
2008-01-04 17:52:00 The Revolutionaries / Tappa Zukie - Escape From HellLabel - Tappa / TrojanRecorded - 1977Style - Reggae, Dub, Lee Library, Roots(from Reggae-Vibes.com)One of Jamaica's most talented artists, Tappa Zukie has had an equal impact on both sides of the recording deck, as both a hitmaking toaster and as a producer who has worked with the cream of Jamaica's vocalists. In addition, his early ties to the punk community in both London and New York was instrumental in the crossover of roots reggae into the mainstream. Born David Sinclair, Tappa was a diminutive of a nickname his grandmother gave him, while Zukie was derived from the gang he ran with as a child, the Zukies. In his teens, he began working for the sound systems, first with I-Oses Discotech, then for the Maccabees. It was through the latter that he came to the attention of producer Bunny Lee; unfortunately, his off-hours delinquency ensured that he was also coming to the attention of the police.In 1973 he moved to London where h...
VA - Heavyweight Sound
2008-01-04 16:17:00 Various - Heavyweight Sound - A Blood And Fire SamplerLabel - Blood & FireReleased - 1995Style - Roots, Reggae, Dub, Lee LibraryBeginning with the release of If Deejay Was Your Trade in 1994, Blood & Fire continually set and maintained the highest standards around in the reggae reissue market. Here was a label concerned first and foremost with creating a product of such quality that future revisions would be entirely unnecessary; a label that insisted on paying both artists and producers of the music. From Intro 's exquisite design work, and Steve Barrow 's liner notes, to the music itself, these titles screamed essential. Drawing on the first seven titles, the '70s roots , dub , and DJ cuts gathered on Heavyweight Sound are the aural proof. If Deejay Was Your Trade captured a group of the era's finest mic men riding producer Bunny Lee 's rhythms (as dubbed by King Tubby ). The collaboration is represented here by I-Roy 's eye-opening plea 'War and Friction' and Tappa Zukie ...

Niney The Observer Presents King Tubby - Bring The Dub Come
2007-12-27 19:24:00 Niney The Observer Presents King Tubby - Bring The Dub ComeLabel: HeartbeatRecord date: 197XAlbum style: Dub, Lee Library, Reggae, Roots, TubbyAround 1969 Kingston-based producers started to issue singles with instrumental "versions" on the flipside of vocal releases, which were actually the basic riddim tracks. To these "versions" one could add further instrumentation or deejay accompaniment. Within a year the inclusion of instrumental versions on the flipside was common practice among the majority of Jamaica's producers. In 1971 the first real Dub recordings began to appear, with The Hippy Boys' "Voo Doo" - the version to Little Roy's "Hard Fighter", which was mixed by Lynford Anderson a.k.a. Andy Capp - now widely acknowledged to be the first recording in the genre. But it was pioneering sound engineer and sound system operator Osbourne Ruddock aka King Tubby who did more than any other to popularize and develop the sound. He explored the possibilities of sound from his small ...

Bonus tracks 13-16.If you had to pick just one album to represent dub "King Tubby Meets The Rockers Uptown" is the disc. The title really says it all: the collaboration between the premier engineer and the top roots producer of the mid-?70s resulted in definitive King Tubby interpretations of some of Pablo?s deepest rhythms. It also demonstrated conclusively that a studio engineer could be considered as creative as the singers, musicians and visionary producer who made the music. A dub is essentially a remix In the hands of an engineer as good as King Tubby (1941 ? 1989) it became an artform, and an incredibly popular one.For this ground-breaking disc, Pablo assembled a brilliant cast: the Upsetters/Wailers drum and bass duo of Aston "Family Man" Barrett and brother Car...

Like many successful Jamaican Reggae stars, his talent, production skills and certainly finances have provided opportunities for a whole new generation of young singers and musicians. This record showcases some unknowns, lesser-knowns and recently established stars in their own right. The late Hugh Mundell, who was bearly into his teens when he penned the chillingly prophetic (in terms of his own short stay on the planet) hymn is included herein.DJ's who toast in a style closer to U Roy than to the dance hall trend of the 80's such as Dillenger, Ras Bull and the mysterious Prince lrey (sounding almost too much like Mundell) complement the singers Delroy Williams and Barry Reid.

I consider this to be the perfect introduction to Augustus Pablo. I first heard this album in 1979 and had to keep playing it over and over again. It's moody, it's tense, it's smooth and heavy. Just like its creator. The last time I worked with Pablo was in 1998. My last memory of Pablo was being in Ariwa studios with smoke so thick that we could not see the desk! This is not an instrumental album. this is not a dub album. This is something else, I am not sure what it w...

The Congos were just a duo, airborne falsetto Cedric Myton and tenor Roydel Johnson, who got together in 1976 and approached old acquaintance Lee 'Scratch' Perry about recording an album at his Black Ark Studio. This was in a two-year period when Black Ark (along with King Tubby's) offered the most exciting, unpredictable facilities on the island and attracted top hands like guitarist Ernest Ranglin, organist Winston Wright, and percussionist Noel "Skully" Simms. During the sessions, unrepeatable chemistry resulted in Perry's finest production of a vocal group and a body of songs more vivid than anything else by the Congos. Oddly, Island Records passed on The Heart of the Congos. Perry put it out under his own...

He began as a singer in the 60's, developed his skill as a melodica player, and then made his indelible mark as a producer in the 70's. His forte was the rhythm. Not the bouncing, melodic bass of Studio One, but the heavy pounding rhythms ideally suited to the era of Rasta militance. Typically he would develop a new rhythm, make umpteen cuts with various singers and DJs, hand them over to King Tubby for mixing, and then move on to the next one. He didn't have many rhythms, but boy were they good! ~bloodandfire.comTracklist:1. Termination Dub2. Save Our Dub3. Leggo The Herb Man Dub4. World Dub: Away With The Bad5. Wicked Tumbling Version6.

The lavish 16-page CD booklet amplifies these apocalyptic themes to stunning effect. This album was long unavailable since its first and only limited edition release in 1976. ~bloodandfire.co.ukPROPHESY OF DUB finds the dub master himself, King Tubby, working 14 Yabby U creations through the ringer. Enduring Yabby U songs like "Conquering Lion," "Jah Vengeance," and "Run Come Rally" are here in excellent versions, but the high point is "Rock Vibration," which takes Michael Rose's "Born Free" and reshapes it into a waterfall of keyboards, echo, and reverb.

Yabby You - Jesus Dread 1972-1977
2007-12-21 15:48:00 Yabby You - Jesus Dread 1972-1977Label: Blood And Fire, 1997Record date: 1972-77Album style: Deejay, Dub, Instrumental, Lee Library, Roots, Vocalsb. Vivian Jackson, 14 June 1949, Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies. Yabby acquired his nickname from the drawn-out, chanting refrain on his 1972 debut single, "Conquering Lion": "Be You, Yabby Yabby You". Despite courting controversy in his repudiation of Rastafarian godhead Haile Selassie, in favour of a personalized form of Christianity, his output throughout the 70s and early 80s nonetheless rarely deviated far from the orthodox Rastafarianism typically expressed at the time. As leader of the Prophets (additional personnel at various times included Alric Forbes, Dada Smith, Bobby Melody and the Ralph Brothers), Yabby recorded a remarkable series of roots reggae classics, including "Jah Vengeance", "Run Come Rally", "Love Thy Neighbours", "Valley Of Jehosaphat", "Judgement On The Land", "Fire In Kingston", "Chant Down Babylon' and many oth...

2007-12-19 18:56:00 The Heptones - Unreleased Night Food & Rare Black Ark SessionsLabel - Aural*xRecorded - 1976-77Style - Ska, Dub, Rare, Reggae, Lee Library, Black Ark(review from rasputinmusic)After their five-year contract with Coxsone was up, the Heptones went freelance and recorded at an array of other studios, but it was their classics "Country Boy" and "Book of Rules" for Harry J that endured. Though it's touted with the mystical Black Ark label, most of this album was recorded at Harry J's studios. On the verge of success, the Heptones were booked to tour the UK with the Wailers and Toots and the Maytals in 1973 but Leroy Sibbles got married and emigrated to Canada leaving Barry and Earl high and dry. Two years later he got back with them to record Night Food for UK-based Island records. This high profile issue recut their previous Studio One and Harry J hits and added a dreamy version of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Baby I need your loving." After Night Food, Island had the ideas of sending t...
