Dub Vol.1: Original Bass Culture

CD-Charts > Music > Dub
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 12, 2001
If you're a fan of roots dub, this is the compilation for you. Most of the tunes are dubbed by King Tubby, everything else is dubbed by the rest the contemporary innovators that knew their stuff - and this is probably simply the most consistently good Dub compilation ever!
This is one of the more eclectic dub mish-mashes I ever heard too, some of the riffs and melodies in there come from a strange place. Tubby's touch (most tracks have it) gives the whole deal an air of quality and purpose, and I have to mention how well remastered this recording is; no hiss noise, no missing mid range or poor quality basses... the exact same high level of mastering across every single tune on the disc. If you got a lot of these tunes already it might ... Read More:

Don Letts Presents The Mighty Trojan Sound

CD-Charts > Music > Dub
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
The problems i had in deliberating over whether to part my hard earned cash were 2 fold. a) this is a trojan compilation which means (for the most part) too little wheat and too much chaff. b)the last don letts comp on heavenly jukebox had some classics (most of which i had) but the supporting cast were somewhat turgid.

The quality of this album came as a big surprise for amongst the reggae staples: 'wear you to the ball','54/46', 'man next door'etc... were some stone cold classics from the rocker's era, that i was amazed had never been plundered by the legions of reggae compilers before: 'mistry babylon', 'burn babylon', 'rockers no crackers' are in my opinion some of the best reggae ever committed to wax - totally sublime and backed ...

The Trojan Dub Box Set Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Dub
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 19, 1998
This was the very first Trojan box set that I bought a few years ago, If I'm feeling a bit chilled out I always play this first. I really do love the tracks from the amazing Roots Radics band, but this is a very diverse compilation which I think is esential in your reggea collection. As the title to this review says: Great intro to dub.

Joe Strummer: the Future Is Unwritten: Original Soundtrack

CD-Charts > Music > Dub
by: Joe Strummer, Clash, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, MC5, Mescaleros, Nina Simone

Release Date May 07, 2007
`The Future us Unwritten' is Julian Temple's documentary film about the late great Joe strummer and is of `The Filth and the Fury' rather than `The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle' template. The Soundtrack album also serves to tell the story of Joe mixing his own songs with the songs that inspired him and linking it all together with sound bites of Joe from various interviews and the links he made as a DJ for the BBC World Service with his occasional show `London Calling'.

Joe's own cannon is well represented here with The 101ers (Joe's first recording band) `Keys to your Heart' and early Clash with previously un-released demo versions of `White Riot' and `I'm So Bored with the USA'. The Clash's reggae influence is showcased with the single `Armagideon ... Read More:
