Dub Eternal

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the deepest and strongest collection of new and cutting-edge dub out there. Picking up where classic dub and roots left off, these tracks put American dub on the map for the first time. Some tracks are on the electronic side, and others sound like full band productions. Most of the songs draw on the the reggae roots tradition, and a few are just plain out-there (in a good way). Even a couple of live tracks are included to prove that dub is not just a studio thing. Favorites have got to be Dub Congress with "Dub up the Hemp" and Eastern Dub Tactik with "Set Your Soul on Fire." I can't speak highly enough of the sweet dubwise vibes on this CD. If you like classic dub, new experiments in dub and instrumental reggae, or even just mainstream reggae and dancehall, you'll find something to smile about here. Great liner notes, too, so if you're not familiar with some of these groups, there's enough info to satisfy your curiosity.Highly recommended."
