                                    long horn solo spices up the first DUB of
                                    this 1990 Ariwa release. It's a celebration
                                    to Nelson Mandela and sets the tone for the
                                    rest of this 12 track collection of
                                    magnificent DUBS.
                                     Time for DUB ME CRAZY Part 10, which
                                    looks both back and forward. 
                                    DUB has more than once been called
                                    "Psychedelic Reggae", and for a
                                    reason. However, the word was more popular
                                    in the 1960's and 1970's as it referred to
                                    spaced out music and various forms of drugs.
                                    The cover and title of Psychedelic DUB is
                                    an obvious hint to that period, but none of
                                    that can be said about the music. The album
                                    was originally released in 1990, and
                                    contains some solid Roots riddims, UK Style.
                                    Cool and deadly here, upfull and joyous
                                    there... 
                                    There are many surprise parts throughout
                                    the entire album. Just when you space out a
                                    little too much, there is some flanger over
                                    the drums to wake you up again. The music
                                    can suddenly stop, you hear a phrase and a
                                    next DUB is there. 
                                    The album was produced in a time wherein
                                    the Mad Professor was about to jump into the
                                    production of DUB in a more digital style
                                    than he did before. Decades were about to
                                    come, in which Neil Fraser would (and will)
                                    take DUB to an ever deeper dimension. Some
                                    anticipating vibes can also be heard already
                                    on Psychedelic DUB... 
                                    Nice One!
