| Don't
ask me why it took such a long time before
there was a release of the dubs from these
tracks used by the vocal harmony group
Culture, I just don't know.
Maybe more
people like dubwize in this time, but it is
a shame that only in the 90's this CD was
released. 15 Dub shots from these classic
reggae songs we all know: Behold, Holy Mt.
Zion and many more.
Although released in the
nineties, these dubs are old-skool. Roots
reggae dubs in the style of the Goldmine Dub
from the Revolutionaries (guess who laid
down the riddims on this album) and Dub over
dub. Yes, you wanted this album 20 years
ago! It sounds like all the work is done in
the seventies, when you listen to this
record, you almost think you are back in
that time when Rockers hit Jamaica.
Most of
the tracks on this album are hard steppers,
but not all. You' also get a good listen to
what the percussionist plays, as this gets
overheard a lot of times in the vocals
(original mix with the singers).
When you
love the vocals, you will love these
versions as well. Culture's reggae is
essential like Burning Spear and Israel
Vibration. Only they have had their dubwize
releases, now listen to the essential
Culture in Dub!
