Favorite Scientist LP

Post by CourtneyBeat »

Well, what with the prospect of a "new" Scientist dub LP being re-released after all these years, I thought it would be a good time to see what people here consider to be the ultimate Scientist dub collection....it can be a straight album or a compilation.

I am having a hard time thinking of what my favorite would be, so I want to see where everybody else is on the issue before I decide.

Thanks for looking!

[cover=1356] (and more or less all the Greensleeves LP's)

[cover=308]

[cover=8137]

Barrington Levy in Dub (ie the JA Jah Guidance issue of Big Showdown)

... are pretty damn incredible.

But to be honest, the already released DKR LP is up there as well. If Jah Life In Dub is as good (and I'm thinking it could be better – since it seems to be from the same era as the Jah Guidance Big Showdown) then I'd say it's probably the two finest releases from DKR. It is great times for any HiFi set in the world.

The Jah Life LP is pretty damn good...similar to Big Showdown, all Barrington tunes. It's definitely in my top 5, maybe top 3 even.

Right now I am listening to "Scientist Win The World Cup", and finding it better than I remembered.

Too many strong albums! Even a top ten list wouldn't be easy to tell.

My fave may be also SCIENTIST IN DUB, but closely followed by BEST DUB ALBUM IN THE WORLD, MEETS SPACE INVADERS, and WORLD AT WAR, which strangely nobody mentioned yet.
Ahh, and of course SCIENTIFIC DUB.

Agree with all of the above. The recent issue of "The Dub Album They Didn't Want You To Hear" ranks in my top 5. Have to hand it to DKR/Digikiller for getting it released.

1. Dub Landing
2. Vampires
3. Heavyweight Dub Champion
4. The Dub Album They Didn't Want You To Hear
5. Space Invaders
