Your absolute 10 best D U B albums ever

Post by LAZ »

Hi,

Let's say we're trying to build the best dub collection ever...

What would be your 10 best dub albums ever?

It means with at least 3 excellent mind-blowing dubs inside..

For me (in no particular order):

**1. Mad Professor - Dub Me Crazy**
(Ariwa, 1982)
**2. Prince Far I - Dub To Africa**
(Pressure Sounds, 1987)
**3. Sly & Robbie - Raiders Of The Lost Dub**
(Taxi, 1983)
**4. Roots Radics - Dub Fi Junjo**
(Mideya, 1999)
**5. King Tubby Meets The Roots Radics - Dangerous Dub**
(Greensleeves, 1996)
**6. King Tubby Meets Soul Syndicate - Freedom Sounds In Dub**
(Blood & Fire, 1996)
**7. Scientist - Big Showdown At King Tubby's**
(Greensleeves, 1980)
**8. Alpha & Omega - Almighty Jah**
(Greensleeves, 1990)
**9. Augustus Pablo - Original Rockers**
(Shanachie, 2001)
**10. The Upsetters - Super Ape**
(Island, 1976)

Respect!

Some which really shouldn't be left out..

1. Page One (aka Niney)- Rock A Dub
:that one is just awesome. Like the name says, strictly rockers music dubbed.Heavy bass.

2. Dub Specialist - Bionic Dub
:i just love studio 1 (but who doesn't?)It's without many effects but still-there are no better riddims than studio 1's. Exodus is the killer.

3. Herman Chin Loy - Aquarius Dub
:hey, this guy discovered Augustus Pablo (who is also playing on this one)!! Were minimalistic, stripped down insrumentals: probably the first ever dub album. Makes your furnitures vibrate and your neighbour go nuts.

4. Lee Perry & Upsetters - Cloak & Dagger
: That one is so damn relaxed. First choice for getting up and having a nice breakfast.

5. Scientist - Heavyweight Dub Champion
: in one line with "meets the space invaders" & "rids the world.." - good ol scientist as we love him..

6. Mikey Dread - African Anthem Dubwise
:just re-released in an extended version by auralax. Weird album full with strange samples & effects: the allstar lineup behind the boards (jammy, tubby & mikey himself) dubs you somewhere but here

you see, i love many of the above mentioned as well, but these here are essentials too
