Essential Dub: Ruff Cuts and Hard Riddims from the Mixmaster

CD-Charts > Music > King Tubby
by: King Tubby

Release Date June 26, 2000
King Tubby's music is the work of an absolute master. His timing in his mixes are beautiful, typified by the trumpet on the track mentioned above, just sublime. It does the same to me on every single listen to this album. What a great artist and this compilation is wonderful from start to finish

Father of Dub

CD-Charts > Music > King Tubby
by: King Tubby

Release Date September 19, 2005
King Tubby pioneered dub reggae and so left his mark on much of today's music.

There's hundreds of King Tubby CDs out there, some of them very dodgy packages featuring tired rythmns that somebody once waved in the general direction of Tubbs. A lot of them have been nowhere near King Tubby's mixing skills. This one is different.

There's a vast selection of tracks from some of his best known work such as "Roots of Dub" and "Meets the Upsetter at the Grass Roots of Dub". Much of this is King Tubby in his prime.

Fans will already have much if this elsewhere, but there are a few gems that were new to me. For newcomers to dub, this is probably the best possible introduction. Bargain priced, over 3 hours of music, ... Read More:

Crucial Dub

CD-Charts > Music > King Tubby
by: King Tubby

Release Date October 14, 2000
This King Tubby compilation has crucially next to the obvious Bunny Lee's Aggrovators dub tracks (15-22) dubs of tracks by producers Fatman (1-12) and Phil Pratt (13,14). This makes for a fascinating mix of different styles, all refashioned in a truly dub way. Highlights are many with the 2 Phil Pratt songs The best is lose and Blow down Babylon as melodic and rather subdued standouts. More of these would have been welcome.

Dub Fever

CD-Charts > Music > King Tubby
by: King Tubby

Release Date April 29, 2002
I bought this cd because I wanted to know more about this genre called'Dub'.
From what I had heard, it was a kind of Reggae and there is somethingspecial about it. It gives inspiration to modern urban music such as Drum& Bass, I would hear people describe certain D&B tunes as 'Dubby' and Iwould have no idea what they meant. King Tubby was reccomended by the BBC,so I had to check this out.
After putting in the cd, the first thing that hit me was the loudness andclarity, Tubbys tunes are well engineered and louder than your averagetune, there is big emphasis on the bass which is very powerful. The tunesare mainly instrumental and use plenty of special effects, the mostnotable one being echo or 'delay', which has to be heard to bebelieved.

Release Date June 18, 2002
quite exceptional reggae album. 'Under Me Fat Thing - Red Rose' and 'Babylon - King Kong' would be worth the money alone, but the album is crammed with excellent tunes 'Two Big Bull Inna One Pen - Red Rose & King Kong', 'Line Up - Osbourne, Johnny' and 'Rude Bwoy - Hemmings, Lloyd' are my other personal favourites . i stumbled upon this album by chance and it has swiftly become one of my favourite albums ever, reggae or otherwise. it is breathtaking.

this is not typical king tubby. you would probably say that this album is more accessible than alot of his more dubby, instrumental stuff. there are tunes and choruses to go with the inevitably top-notch production and beats.
