Giants clash: Jah Shaka meets the Mad
Professor in a new decade of Dub. The decade
has past, the music remains. What happens
when two GIANTS in Dub meet? You'll get a
collection of some rough and tough stuff as
I would say! This is a CD that should be in
every serious Dub collector's home, because
it contains some of the hardest steppers
riddims from the 1990's. It doesn't happen
so many times, that after I've finished
playing an album, I rewind and play it
again. This is one of those very few
exceptions. The drum and the bass sound like
thunder and lightning, and thunder and
lightning it is: many songs come with
samples from Louis Farrakhan from the Nation
Of Islam, dubbed in and out in waterfalls of
echo.
The music is hard! Most of the 11 tracks
are steppers, in the traditional UK Steppers
style: super tight, and with a low, hard and
monotone bassline to guide you through the
song. The mixes contain many atmospherical
changes, vaguely reminding me of the
Conscious Sounds studio's. Beautiful
percussion plays. Guitar shots that cut like
a razor.
I've read a review from this album saying
it's kind of mediocre, but I absolutely
disagree and play this one every time. And
everytime I play it, the music screams to be
played louder and louder, until the house
start shaking and the windows are breaking.
