| | King Tubby Dangerous Dub CD - Import King Tubby Discography of CDs
The eight-piece Roots Radics are an influential instrumental group who helped pioneer the '80s dancehall style of reggae and provided accompaniment for some of the genre's greatest practitioners, including Bunny Wailer and Gregory Isaacs. This collection takes tracks by Roots Radics and filters them through the combined mixing skills of both Jah Screw and King Tubby, masters of the style and legends to fans of reggae and dub.
Hailed as an "original dub classic," this collection has achieved legendary status. It brims with all the hallmarks of dub: the rock-solid bass and drums over which float echoed, repeated shards of guitar, keyboards, and horns. This set includes no vocals whatsoever. The art of dub music comes in the artful juxtaposition of various sonic elements on top of the rhythm. The opening track, "Country Gal Dub," typifies the set. Built on a rock-solid rhythm track of just drum and bass, it is sprinkled with just a scratchy percussive effect, a touch of keyboard, and a sinewy guitar line, all doused in a liberal helping of echo. The bonus track "King Stereo Gav Dub" is particularly bracing, with an insistent beat and a sublimely spacey set of ambient noises, whip-cracks, and scampering drumbeats.

Recording information: Channel One Studio.Muzik (1/97, p.116) - 3.5 out of 5 - "...The unruly basslines and sparse rhythms that characterise each track may be too heavy for most dub virgins, but it remains a gem....further credence to King Tubby's reputation as Don of the mixing boards..."

At the end of John Coltrane's two-year contract with Atlantic Records in 1961, the saxophonist became one of the first major figures to sign up with ABC-Paramount's new label, Impulse! Six years later, he died, leaving behind an immense legacy of music. There is a sense of adventure, expectation and delight to Coltrane's Impulse! recordings--a sustained burst of creativity which constitutes his greatest achievements.
The soulful folk songs--past, present and future--which make up THE COMPLETE AFRICA/BRASS SESSIONS are a celebration of freedom: the freedom to create on a higher plane, the freedom he felt in playing with his new quartet. In a sense, THE COMPLETE AFRICA/BRASS SESSIONS are a celebration of McCoy Tyner's contribution to the group. Tyner's distinctive block voicings, and his method of modulating in fourths were a major part of the quartet's sound. Reed innovator Eric Dolphy (who joined Coltrane's Quartet later in 1961) took melodic ideas and chords from Coltrane and Tyner, and developed brass-reed orchestrations that echoed the characteristic Tyner sound, and the quartet's mode of interaction. Cal Massey's "The Damned Don't Cry" is a fascinating exception, as Dolphy allows individual ...
