I, this is great music! The Scientist is one
of the wildest original DUB MASTERS, and
here he defends his title as
"Heavyweight Dub Champion". You'll
play this album again and again, and every
time you'll hear something new. Whether
you're looking for a chill out experience,
or for some heavy bass music to dance to,
you'll love it. All ten tracks are layed
down by the legendary Roots Radics. In the
time this album was first released, they
were the studio band for Channel One Studios
and dancehall was known as Rub A Dub.
Channel One was for Rub A Dub what Studio
One was for ska and early roots reggae.
You can also hear the voice of Barrington
Levy, beautifully mixed in reverb, delay and
feedback. In fact, most tracks are the dubs
for his album "Robin Hood". And
the voice is definitely not the only thing
that mixed out. There is not a moment in the
tracks, that you don't hear excessive mixing
going on. I think this is one of the
strongest point from the Scientist, he is
really using his devices to the max. I'll
spare you the technical details, but I can
imagine a smoking mixing table, after
Scientist touched it with his hands.
This album is absolutely one of the
reasons why many people find, that the best
DUB was created in the 1980's. And surely,
when you compare this album with the works
of many of today's Dub Mixers, you wonder
why, with the technical possibilities of
today, there isn't much more heavyweight Dub
around.
