black uhuru's dub factor

Post by mick d »

I used to blast this in my ear's while riding public transportation to and from work back in 2004. It was on replay for a long time! It became an all-time favorite after listening to it for the first time. Now I am feeling nostalgic as I listen to this album for the first time in many months. I love this album! The dub sounds are highly original.

My question is: are there any dub albums that come close to sounding like this?

I'd say Aswad's "New Chapter Of Dub" resembles both the Dub Factor and A Dub Experience (one of my all time fave discs in any genre).

I've heard that there is a dub version of Black Uhuru's Anthem included in the 4 disc reissue of that album. Anyone heard it?

Must admit that 'Anthem Dub' didn't make that impression that I expected. It's not that 'adventurous' like I expected maybe, but it's a good and solid mix.

EDIT: just gave it another spin and must say that it didn't change my opinion to the whole of it, BUT the megamix to 'Botanical Roots' is a real scorcher, 10:36 minutes long and real HEAVY!

To add another one to mick d's question, I would recommend this
