Dub

who here likes really old skool dub? im talking like mid
1970s african style.

I just picked up The Congos "Heart of the Congos" and is
fucking sweet. I would suggest this album to anyone if they
want to hear the very roots of modern day dub.

oh, and head charge's "drums of defiance" is good. a bit
more aggressive or industrial-ish than their usual foray.

oh, and that stuff the guys from at the drive-in were
doing... good stuff. what was that called?

I like dub. I saw it on american ninja 5. the thing is, they
dubbed some yank tosser who was cuttin about in pink
pyjamas. he looked like a ninja, though more like a minge-a.
And you had the chinese or whatever they were strutting
about sayin "I like to defrost my apple last week cuntyface"
, just so the words would fit with the movement of their
little oriental moothies. Strange mooovie. made me cry, wank
and piss my y-fonts simultaneously.

I would concur with Loogie - Augustus Pablo, Scientist (no
the), and King Tubby are all amazing.. Lee Perry is good
too, but I find some of his stuff a bit mastubatory.

Either of the Trojan dub box sets (1 or 2) are great places
to start - other great dub records:

Augustus Pablo meets Rockers Uptown
Keith Hudson - Pick a dub
Scientist - Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The
Vampires
Forward the Bass - Dub from Randys 1972-75 (more chilled)

Those are four personal favourites of mine...

I dont rate the Mad Professor that highly.. the dubs he did
of massive attack were pretty good, but I have a few of his
other records and have been a bit dissapointed.

Can you reccomend any record that is as good as augutus,
tubby etc?

a couple of tracks that sum up dub for me:

king tubby - there's dub
king tubby - money dub

Tubby's Explosion dub is pretty badass as well...

I thougt Rhythm And Sound was just a group only.
I highly recomend "Rhythm and Sound/Cornel Campbell - King
In My Empire"
One of the greatest dub tracks i have ever heard. Mostly
because of Cornels fantastic singing , he sounds like a
jamaican Sam Cook =)

I can never decide which I like more: King Tubby or
Scientist, but there's one album I think I come back to most
often: king tubby's studio vs channel one studio in dub
