Brown was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in the
year 1960. But he is better known under the
name Scientist. Is there a dubhead that does
not know his works at Channel One studios?
His serial on the Greensleeves Label has
reached legendary status!
That Scientist is a real natural talent
is proven when you hear his earlier works.
Thank you Blood and Fire, for providing the
evidence! When he was only 17 years old, he
cut some pretty crucial dubs for producer
Don Mais and his Roots Tradition label.
These tunes were never released on an album
before but you could more or less see Roots
Tradition as his debute.
Scientist definitely goes further there
where King Tubby stops. It is incredible
when you realize all the dub mixing work on
this album is done by hand. No automatic
computerized consoles, stricktly Dub
Handyworks. And added to that, you should
remember, that Scientist was only a teenager
when he mixed these killer DUBS.
As always with Blood and Fire, this album
comes with beautiful cover art and a lot of
information which will surely help you to
enjoy the music to the fulness.
