Scientist at Tuff Gong

[Geoffrey]

Just before Scientist left for the US in '85, he did some work at Tuff Gong, right? Does anyone know what he engineered there? Was any of that material released?

[Ed]

Don't know about scientist.. but I do know King Tubby engineered and mixed some Japanese stuff shortly (months)@ Tuff Gong before he was killed....

He also mixed several dubplates for Shaka there in late 1987....

[Geoffrey]

Yeah, I've got the Mute Beat Japanese stuff Tubby mixed. Wasn't aware of the Shaka plates, though...

Still, Scientist at Tuff Gong eh? Anything?

[Litelet]

I really wonder if Tubby is really implied in the Mute Beat stuff... got that LP too... but doubt it is him in term of mix... dont know about scientist...

[Geoffrey]

If it's not Tubby, it's someone doing a good impression of his signature sound...

I don't recall Scientist ever working at Tuff Gong. I believe he went to America after his stint at Channel One.

Suspicious about Tubby getting his "signature" sound at Tuff Gong. Tubby mixed on a 4 track, and it's a significantly different skill working on 24 tracks (or maybe even 32 by then) than it is working 4 tracks. How can Tubby get his signature sound wihout his high-pass filter?

It wouldn't be the first time Scientist was mis-credited! Not to say that the man never touched the board at TG studio, but he wasn't the resident engineer there for any length of time. I would believe otherwise only if it came from the man himself.

i only relay back cover info.it actually says barnabass and scientist,and the mixing was done at channel one.

perhaps your more correct,i dont believe everything i read either.

here is a pretty recent interview with Scientist, in which he discusses working at Tubby's, Tuff Gong, and Channel One.
