| In
the 1980's, Mad Professor released his -now
legendary- "Dub Me Crazy" series.
Mad Professor not only established his name
with them, he also definitely established a
standard in DUB mixing with that line of
albums of which this is the second one.
Effects form the sound, there's almost no
dry ("effectless") instrument to
be heard. Things which are usually in the
back of the mix come forward because of the
massive amount of effects they're being put
through. These are the kinds of dubs of
which their vocal counter-parts can hardly
be recognized. Dubwise time! Yes, this album
is best enjoyed in an ire atmosphere with
good speakers. Close your eyes, and you will
find out just how mad this professor is and
just how crazy you can become from
experiencing this chapter.
The tracks used for this album are all
tight, Roots Reggae Riddims. They make you
move and groove, from the first to the last
one. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast,
sometimes mellow and sometimes militant. The
tunes are well selected, the way of mixing
makes them into one chapter. Just one
chapter in a line of albums which are very
rightfully called "Dub Me Crazy".
