Mad Professor - Afrocentric Dub |
| Yet
another masterpiece by the hands of the Mad
Professor, straight out of the Asylum of
Dub. This album contains some of the ruffest
riddims from Mad Professor's ARIWA Studio's.
Most of the ten killers are kicking DUBS
from Michael Prophet's album Rootsman, which
is ofcourse also an Ariwa release. Ofcourse?

Mad Professor - A Carribean Taste Of
Technology |
| Get
a Caribbean taste of technology: lay back
and enjoy a Dubwise experience extravaganza.
Mad Professor, one of the biggest pioneers
in Dubwise mixes at his best in this 1985
DUB album. The riddims are crucial and the
selection well balanced.

Michael Prophet - Rootsman |
| This
one you just can't refuse. Michael Prophet's
ROOTSMAN will be more than satisfactory for
various people and for different reasons.
For the DUBheads, because of the magnificent
mixing by Mad Professor.

ViaJAH Morgan - Reggae Poetry For The Soul |
| Let
me give you a couple of reasons why you
really must buy this album. ONE: When you
want to have an album of which the title
covers the content, you got to check this
one. This truly is "Reggae Poetry For
The Soul".

Zema - Black Sheep |
| When
she trod her first steps on the musical
field, she was only seven years old. Now in
2003 she is labelled as "one of today's
top female modern Roots Reggae
vocalists" and can look to a great
response to the release of her 4th album.

Gregory Isaacs - Dub A Di Number One |
| An
album with a title like this one, containing
heavy duty riddims and mixes from such as
Ernest Hoo-Kim and Errol T is a must for
every lover of Dubwise Style as I would say.
But does the title cover the contents? I
think so! That is why this album gets the
highest possible rating of three full stars.

Freddie Mc Gregor - Big Ship |
| This
album has inspired the name for Freddie Mc
Gregor's "Big Ship Studio's", in
which he keeps working his work. His work is
to sing music, Reggae Music. And he does so
ever since he was seven years old. And that
was in 1963, so imagine his experience and
the things he witnessed. This surely is
another Channel One Classic!

the great Ammagideon Time, a Conscious
Reggae Classic containing the following
words:
