Scientist is a master reggae singer/mix-master who, in 1981, recorded this deep, dark, spooky set of dub. Dub, for those new to the term, is a style of reggae where a song is deconstructed/reconstructed by the person running the mixing board. Echoes are added, vocals are subtracted, voices and instruments bounce about like balls in a game of pool. The boisterous vocals jump out at you, the bass is heavy enough to rock your insides, the drums reverberate like ghostly footfalls and the other instruments--guitar, horns, keyboards--create earthy yet eerie textures. Don't let the title put you off--RIDS THE WORLD is top-of-the-line dub reggae.
