| | Dreams Of Freedom: Ambient Translations Of Bob Marley In Dub CD Bob Marley Discography of CDs
DREAMS OF FREEDOM is a continuous, in-the-mix recording featuring Bill Laswell's dub versions of Bob Marley compositions.
Bill Laswell's 1997 ambient treatments of these Bob Marley classics shouldn't be seen in the same light as, say, a Lee Perry dub collection. Laswell approaches these mixes from quite another angle, seeking not to accentuate the music's quirks and singularities, but rather to smooth them out, providing a serene, ambient soundscape on which to apply his tonal palette.
The result is a pleasing collection of Marley greatest hits, twisted, remade, and remodeled. This seamless summation of the reggae master's oeuvre, commencing with "Rebel Music" and rapidly segueing into "No Woman No Cry." The first hint of consistent rhythm comes with the ominous "The Heathen," where the accent is on the drums and backing vocals, not to mention the omnipresent steady, pumping bass. "Waiting in Vain" is a light, almost conventional dub in comparison, all light guitars and piano trills, but we're soon back down the dub tunnel with "Exodus," heavy on cavernous echo while nodding in the direction of the choppy horn riff. The cumulative effect of DREAMS OF FREEDOM, as each track morphs into the next, is a slowly escalating dub ceremonial, herbal incense optional.
Personnel includes: Bob Marley (vocals); Karl Berger (conductor); Aiyb Dieng (percussion); Tetsu Inoue (sound effects).

$13.59 Keith Hudson's death in 1984 (he was only 38) robbed reggae of one of its most complex, innovative, and woefully underappreciated artists. As a writer, singer, and producer, Hudson had a dark and maverick vision that led to him being labeled "the Dark Prince of Reggae," and he was in many ways the artistic flip side to Bob Marley, although the two shared the same essential views on matters of politics, race, and religion. As a singer, Hudson was somewhat pitch-challenged, but his fierce, impassioned delivery replaced skill with sheer emotional commitment, and it's hard ...
