dub has grown increasingly popular in the last decade as a club phenomenon, and its essential elements -- instrumental and vocal tracks dropping in and out of the mix, along with the often drastic use of effects like echo, delay, and flanging -- have been adopted by producers working in many different dance-music styles. But the late King Tubby is generally considered to have been the perfecter, if not the inventor, of dub, and his original reggae mixes from the 1970s have enjoyed increasing popularity as young innovators have begun adopting his techniques. This generous collection includes dub versions of such classic roots reggae tracks as Cornel Campbell's "Natty Dread in a Greenwich Farm," the Silvertones' "Rejoice in Jah Jah Children," and the Viceroys' "My Mission Is Impossible," as well as 19 others, almost all of which can be considered prime examples of the genre. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
