| King
Tubby the Dubwize Originator at his best!
Blood and fire did it again when they
decided to make a collection of the hardest
riddims laid down by the Soul Syndicate
for Freedom Sounds Productions. I have heard
a lot of King Tubby mixes in my life, but
this collection definitely strike the top!
Great singers give acte d' presence: Prince
Alla, Rod Taylor, Earl Zero and many more.
Tubby knows so good how and where to drop in
the vocals and the instruments, and how
to mix the drums. All the tracks in this CD
read like a lesson in dub for me, as a
creator of dub music in this 21st century.
According to the liner notes that come
with the CD, the studio in which these
tracks were made, was located at the border
between two political gangs who shot at each other. The artists involved in this
music had to hide for the bullets at King
Tubby's a lot of times. Sufferer's Music
avant la lettre.
