Time for Toot’s Reggae thread…i LOVE Reggae and all of it’s styles leading up to it and after…apart from Dance Hall…i HATE Dance Hall!
The thunderous Bass and awesome drumming in Reggae totally kicks ass and the Jamaican studio technique of Dub is superb!
Some of my favs are…
Prince Buster
Skatalites
King Tubby
Lee Perry/Upsetters
Burning Spear
Sly And Robbie
Mighty Diamonds
Horace Andy
Scientist
Roots Radics
Tappa Zukie
Bob Marley And The Wailers
Peter Tosh
I remember me & 3 friends way back when, holing up in a house on a hill for a week in October in North Cornwall.
In our rush to score heavily before we left, we forgot the music…all we had was a tape…one side was Frank Zappa ‘Zoot Allures’, the other was Sly & Robbie ‘A Dub Experience’.
A weird, twisted week, with a pretty cool soundtrack.
A Dub Experience is produced by legendary Bill Laswell…Sly And Robbies illest and best Dub album i’ve heard ever is “Sly And Robbie Drum And Bass Stripped To The Bone By Howie B”…that is fucking some major alien Dub! Absolutely devastatingly wicked!!!
I’d LOVE Justing Broadrick to do an album with Sly, Robbie and Howie!
I the mighty Toot have decided to dump Jizzim as i’m sick of listening to mind numbingly boring Pish Floyd records! I want some PHATT Dub Roots Reggae!!!
I’ve been seeing another man Jizzim behind your back because he has a beast of a sound system…here is a picture of him dancing in front of some of it…
Here’s a little more of his system…
And here are some of the records he plays me which crap all over that skinny ass honky Pish Floyd crappy crap!
I did love you Jizzim but it’s either me and PHATT Dub Reggae or skinny ass honky yawn kings Pish Floyd! Make your mind up quick Jizzim or we finished…CHA!
Adrian Sherwoods last album “Becoming A Cliche” was kick ass too. It has a song on there with Lee Perry and Adrians young daughter doing a duet! Classic.
Ive been enjoying the new Tommy album quite a bit recenlty. You could say its reggae mixed with singer/songwriter kind of stuff, with somewhat dubby production (nothing extreme though). Not a bad album to chill out to.
Id be really happy if all of you dub fans (Akbar, MaggitTooth) checked out the song “Submission” by Fields Of The Nephilim and gave me their opinion. Here is a link for it http://szprot.org/jupitreas/Submission.m4a (high bitrate AAC file).
This is a scene remastered version (by yours truly); however, the original still has that ‘devastating’ bass sound. Its just that the early CD mastering methods used on it (1991) make it sound kinda wimpy, so the ‘remastered’ version is preferable.
