[bob]

I m searching for all the featurings which were made with him (and rocker's allstars): some links or personnal address?.And also some suggestions to find this particular kind of sound.




You should listen some french dub like : Kaophonic tribu- high tones - le peuple de l'herbe
improvisators dub on french reggae/ska/dub sites.
ENJOY the weed !!!(with this sound).

There's many other classic & good stuff, but this are the real deal, all records are masterpieces from Pablo's work. Augustus got a wide and vast discography and his earlier works as a studio musician (uncredited many times...)are equally great.

IMHO, the greatest and most UNDER-RATED producer and musician from reggae, and specially rasta-reggae. Nuff Respeck & praises for his works!

Has anyone noticed that he used to credit his own productions to "HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY"?

Blessings,

Don't forget Africa Must Be Free by 1983 Dub (it had its own forum thread going a little while ago). He shares the producer credit with Hugh Mundell.

I like Eastman Dub a lot too.

He's not producing, but does some good studio work on Earl Zero's Visions of Love album with Soul Syndicate.
