"Brilliant dub collection - if you're interesting in dipping a toe into the complex and stormy waters of dub then this is one of the best introductions you could have. ... the only real quibble is over the "Lee Perry" tracks which are actually the handiwork of the other great towering genius of dub, King Tubby. I must admit I always thought "Lee Perry Upsetting Dub", "Special Dub" and "Guiding Star Dub" sounded far more like Tubby than Scratch - but the brilliant "Venus" and "Hold of Death" had me fooled. So a good overview of various eras of King Tubby's career alongside equally wonderful contributions from acolytes like King Jammy and Scientist. Sly & Robbie are represented too, in fact their "Burial Dub" is probably my favourite on the album. Buy it!"

I highly recommend this compilation

"The wicked grooves create a chill mood, great for hanging out, or to keep me sane when work gets crazy! My favorite track is "King Tubby's Borderline Dub", featuring Augustus Pablo."

Now where did I put down that Spliff??

"If you want mellow Dub then Buy 'Dub Chill Out-18 Massive Cuts'(they're all called 'chillout' because the producers were too stoned to think of anything else to call them).SO you'll have to look at the cover.....it's the one with all the little Rasta/Jamaican pictures on the cover. it's great, but you'll need a spliff and a hammock."
