| After
being treated with three injections in the
Mad Professor's DUB ME CRAZY series, the
title of treatment number four doesn't sound
as mad as it may sound at first look. After
all, you must be pretty mad to escape to an
asylum, rather than escaping from it, right?
Wrong.
The year is 1983 and the Mad Professor is
extremely busy mixing and releasing music in
his Dub Me Crazy series. In his UK based
Ariwa Studio's, he had already recorded a
lot of vocalists on -of course- music from
his own Studio band: more than enough
material to produce a steady flow of DUB
Albums for the market.
The Dub Me Crazy series obviously became
legendary, and Escape To The Asylum Of DUB
may just have played a rather large part in
this. The mixing is of outstanding quality,
even according to Mad Professor's own high
standards.
When you consider how all of this was
mixed over 25 years in times when automation
techniques weren't around like now and
mixing engineers were not generally
considered to be artists, it's enough to
make you stand in awe for Mad Professor's
incredible use of talents and skill.
The twelve tracks that make up this
release are mixed and placed in such a way,
that the album tells a story from the top to
the very last drop. The Mad Professor
applies several styles of mixing, and so
every tracks really is part of what can only
be described as Mad Professor At His Best In
1983.
