Title: One of the best dubs ever
Product review: Dub is created by mixing down a multi-track recording for a second time, dropping out most of the vocal line and playing with the drums, bass and other instrumental tracks. Scientist favored the use of echo and other distortion techniques. The result strips most of the soul and integrity of an original reggae song, but leaves in its place music of ghostly, other wordly power, which can grip on a whole new emotional level. The analogy of the X-Ray has been used as a descriptor. And the idea of dub as musical caricature is cleverly portrayed in the frequent use of comics as cover art. This record, along with Black Uhuru's Dub Factor, Raiders of the Lost Dub, Augustus Pablo's ...Rockers Uptown and a handful of others, is an exemplar of the style. If you like it, you can collect enough dub to fill your record or CD shelves. It is an example of a largely lost minor-musical art form that peaked in the mid 1980s.
