Two inventive dub masters in their prime
-
We Say...
For sophistication and sensitivity, this dub is arguably the top of the lot. I must confess bias here — back in the day I was a Shaka follower, and his transfixing dances, with the full thunder and rumble of his cosmic reverb, has always stayed with me. This encounter with his spiritual descendent, London’s Mad Professor (aka Neal Fraser) is arguably the greatest dub of this Dread Dozen; even though it clearly can’t replicate those nights when Jah Shaka bobbed and weaved behind the controls in the dim red light, surrounded by pictures of Haile Selassie, and his music shook our souls. Dubs like “People of Yoruba,” “Rorima,” “Claps Like Thunder,” “Atmospheric Dub” and “Warrior Dub” have such personality and are simply so interesting as they flow along, that it’s like a conversation with a new person who’s on your wavelength. Makes you want to talk/skank all night.

They Say...
Originally released in 1984, then re-released 12 years later, this split CD featuring two of British dub's most prominent figures shows just how far the genre has come since its early days in Jamaica. A split CD with five tracks from each of the two legends, the album reminds us that there was a time when it was a producer's creativity, not mere technology, that made dub "versions" sound so hypnotic and otherworldly. Though not the best work either Mad Professor or Jah Shaka have to offer, this is the sound of two inventive dub masters in their prime.
