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.
