Bunny Wailer - Dub D'sco 1 and 2
Dubd'sco volume one and two are dubs from two entirely different Bunny Wailer Albums: Blackheart Man and Bunny Wailer Sings The Wailers. 

Blackheart man is a very rootsy album in the style of In I Father's House (a dub from that album is on this CD as well), Struggle, and Protest, where Sings The Wailers finds her equivalent in an album called Rock 'n Groove. 

When you've ever seen Bunny live, you know that he starts up with a Roots set and then, after he's done about half the concert, a Dancehall Set. The same with this re-release. The lighter material on Sings the Wailers counterweights the heavy mystical roots vibes from Blackheart Man, just like on his concerts. 

I have not seen an artist that made such a strickt separation between the heavy and the lighter material, combining it again in a perfect balanced combination as this brethren. Although his voice is pretty high, the roots music remains heavy. 

Bunny's Roots are as literature: they are not easy to swallow. You need to listen over and over, every time you hear more things, you have to actively listen. Even on the dubs this stays a fact. They have to grow on you.

Bunny's Roots reminds me of the gospel music that I was brought up with. 

I compare volume one of Dubd'sco a bit with Living Dub from the artist Burning Spear. Dub from the roots, heavier as lead. 

Volume two, is considerable different: it contains the sound of these easy to catch tunes you'll remember from Sings the Wailers and Rock 'n Groove (when you know them, that is). Clear, not too fast but also not too slow, and on-going. 

When you think, that all reggae sounds the same, check this release out, because it will prove you otherwise. Dubd'sco volume 1 and 2 is also essential and crucial for any reggae / dub collection. 

It is the only dub that has ever been released from this longest living Wailer, that is one reason. The special Sound, that I find on volume two (the dance part) is another reason to buy, because you simply don't find it anywhere else.
