| Like
the CD "Jesus Dread", another
compilation of dubs from some crucial and
old reggae.
Strictly Rockers on this double
CD filled with music from the High Note
Label. Now you get the chance to hear the
dubbing works of Errol Brown. He is a guy
who lets the music remains to play a big
part in the mix: you will not hear that many
effects as when you would be listening to a
King Tubby dub, or a Jammy Version.
And the
music is sweet, so very sweet!
Listen to a
dubmix of "Dreamland" by Marcia
Griffiths, for example. Several tracks from
Treasure Isle. Listening to it takes you
back to that wonderful era of ROCKERS.
Most
of the tracks have the steppers style of
drum, with a kick on every count in the
measure. All the big names of rockers are
there: Sly, Robbie, Ansel Collins, Deadly
Headly, Dean Fraser, Micky Boo, you just
name them and they're on this CD.
I would
say, this compilation is a nice lesson in
rockers. Because the mixes are not too wild
you can still discern the instruments. It's
not only a nice introduction to dub, it is
also a good way to get acquainted with
rockers!
