CD Reviews

Dub Inna Fine Retro Style
Ed Brickell | 05/25/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Well-produced, sophisticated yet rootsy dubs -- lots of good 21st century touches without sounding slick or overproduced. Bass n' drum firmly in the driver's seat with way-cool effects and riddims that will make your head bob like one of those dolls you see on car dashboards. This is the way all modern dub recordings should be ... a deep-roots, bubbling, smoking, wallshaking successor to the classics of the 70s and early 80s. Nearly an hour's worth of slinky dreadiness. Go for it!"
Guidance's best compilation
R. Solomon | New Zealand | 11/28/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you're familiar with Guidance records, chances are you've got one of their Hi-fidelity Dub sessions compilations...I think they're up to number 5 or something. In fact a couple of these tunes can be found on other guidance releases, 'Horny dub' for instance.



This however is quiet different compared to those releases. Roots combination is one of the rootiest contemporary pieces of reggae/ dub to come out in recent times. It brings you back to the 1970's when Lee Perry et al were experimenting/ revolutionising dub music.



The album features a number of MC's including Sluggy Ranks, who espouses some very conscious lyrics on 'Nah Bow Down' as does Ruffscot on 'Greedy for the dollar'. There's a monstrous dub on 'Wicked a go dub it'.



Simply this a very good piece of work. The rythems are solid and the appearances of various MC's provide that rootsy feel. They don't go way over the top on the dubs but keep it nice and tight. This is my favourite Guidance record...greatness through and through."
