| If
you want to know what DUB can do to music,
you should buy this CD. This is DUB the way
DUB should be! Ten mighty riddims layed down
by Sly & Robbie for various Black Uhuru
albums are mixed in a Special Dubwise style
by Paul "Groucho" Smykle.
Originally mixed in 1983, this album hasn't
lost any of it's quality for me, it remains
one of my favorites from the day that is was
released. I dare to say that if you don't
have this album in your DUB top ten, you
don't know what DUB is! Paul Smykle
completely changed the vibe of every single
track in a very skillfull way. All tracks
completely differ from their original
versions and have been blended together into
one mix for a Dubwise experience
extraordinairy! That's right, all the
riddims are presented in one big mix, and
you'll bound to listen to it from the top to
the very last drop once you've started
playing the album.
It is simply impossible to ignore THE DUB
FACTOR. This album is mixed in 1983, but it
will still beat most of the DUB's that are
created today. When you'll play it in a
chill-out room, people would love it. And
that is why you can't ignore it. The further
we go in time, the more people like it.
Unfortunately Paul Smykle hasn't released
much more of his special DUB mixing. The
brethren is well gifted with a lot of
talents. He is not only a killer DUB mixer,
but also a great painter: the cover art for
Aswad's New Chapter of Dub was from his
hand.
