Ranking dread

Post by Punxsta »

Hello,

I've been enjoying the new Ranking Dread Most Wanted. Did he really engineer most of this album? Any thoughts?

Also is it worth getting Ranking Dread in dub (Scientist/King tubby). I've heard differing reports.

Ranking Dread in Dub is a fantastic album in my opinion.

Check my discography of Ranking Dreads music here;

Hey kalcidis,

I know your Ranking Dread nuts but I wanted to ask you have your heard the UK DJ called "Afrikan Simba" ?

Now, if there was ever a Ranking dread voice a like this is it. Check him out man. Sounds remarkably similar.

btw, I was meant to send you thae RD dub LP label scan. I'll get it to ya soon.

back to the tread, I agree with Kalcidis and really rate this dub LP.

I actually saw Afrika Simba live a couple of years ago. Afrika Simba in combination with Errol Bellot. It was a great session but I can't say that I connected his voice to Ranking Dreads though. Perhaps I have to listen to him again bearing that in mind.

Take your time with it. Haven't had time to touch the site in a long time.

I don 't think R.Dread mixed his own tunes, although he is credited for it. It sounds too experienced for a man that is not otherwise known for mixing tunes.

Both Scientist as RK are credited on some Greensleeves 12 inches.

Yeah, I thought it sounded like scientist too and he is credited in a couple of the tracks. I will try and get hold of a copy of Ranking Dread in Dub - thanks for the advice!
