Reggae dub - Any good cds worth getting

[SOUNDSTYLE]

Been listening to Kruder and Dorfmeister 'G stone book cd' (brilliant album) and one of the tracks had a reggae dub sound.
Just wondering if there are any good albums worth considering.
I love that bassy sound.

Trojan Records do 3 CD boxsets, ive been listening to the "Roots" version of this quite simply stunning, then gives you an idea of which artists you would like.

King Tubby
Lee Scratch Perry
SLy & Robbie

All good. But immerse yourself in the Trojan boxsets.

All of the Trojan Box sets I've heard to date are superb.

Watch out for them in sales at HMV and Music Zone. You can pick them up for as little as £5.99 per box.

Current fave track "Bonanza Ska" by Carlos Malcolm. Like it says on the tin - a ska version of the "Bonanza" theme, complete with neighing horses!

Priceless...

I've just ordered a couple more -


Trojan Reggae Chill-Out (3CD)
Trojan Ganja Reggae Box Set

[Richard Barham]

A landmark dub album has to be Lee Perry's '14 Dub Blackboard Jungle' (title doesn't quite seem right but that's what it's called). Originally released in the early 70s, but given a re-release last year for the first time in its original form (plus 4 bonus tracks).

The album features some whacky stereo effects where the bass is concentrated in one speaker! Only in Jamaica.

It should be widely available but I know you can get it from DubVendor

the ganja one has been despatched - should have it by the time I get home tonight....great...will pop out for a few beers after work, then finish off my gin when I get home as well as some green and solid...sorted...

my girlfriend has dumped me - well, she says we can move forward if I move out, anyway, she's got a works do tonight, so, the music will be loud...

if you want ska, reggae or dub crossed with punk try,
Sublime or Long Beach Dub Allstars (who formed out of Sublime)
