"Scientist Meets the Roots Radics" is also excellent...
"Encounters Pac Man" is not one of my favourite, but "Wins The World Cup" and "Dub In The Roots Tradition" are great.

Respect!

I'd have to say Scientist Meets The Space Invaders is one of the best dub albums ever made.

Don't want to push this over the top, but the mixes on the original jamaican releases on Jah Guidance (not the ones on Greensleeves or Trojan)of his albums really blow. These were not mastered for 'popular' tastes.
Strictly dub entertainment. :)

@ Jah Glu
the first albums on Greensleeves from 1980 on were first released in Jamaica (list as follows). Be aware that there are jamaican repressings from the 1990s around that feature the 'english' mastered mixes. These are easily recognizable by fotocopied and thin-papered sleeves and repressed labels. Originals come in thick cardboard sleeves with clear-pressed (not blurred) labels.
Here are the originals as far as I know them...

'Big Showdown 1980' - Scientist v. Prince Jammy
This is the most crucial as it is an altogether different record to the one released on Greensleeves. This original has seen rerelease via Auralux label last year as 'Barrington Lvy in Dub - the lost mixes from King Tubby's studio'

'Heavyweight Dub Champion'

'Scientist meets the Space Invaders'
as 'Scientist in Dub Volume 1'

'Rids the world from the evil curse...'

All jamaican pressings come on Jah Guidance label.
I am not sure about 'Wins the world cup' and 'Encounters Pac-Man'.

I think they are absolute fantastic !
Sorry, if I was not clear on that. I prefer these rough, bass-ladden mixes alot to the Greensleeves' sound.
