Noel Ellis – “To Hail Selassie” (1983)
Another great track from Ellis’ self-titled 1983 dub-heavy reggae classic…
Noel Ellis – “Memories” (1983)
Great dub-inflected track from the little-known and unjustly ignored self-titled album by Noel Ellis from 1983.
Creation Rebel – “Rising Star” (1978)
The experimental dub album Dub from Creation, the debut release from Creation Rebel, is a sonic tour de force. Dating from 1978 on the Hitrun label, it was way ahead of its time, with its weird sounds and electronic feel. Still sounds amazing when using headphones.
Co-produced by Dennis Bovell. Creation Rebel were basically “The Arabs” who backed the legendary Prince Far I.
Scientist – “The Mummy’s Shroud” (1981)
One of the great dub masters from the 1980s, after serving an apprenticeship learning under the genius King Tubby. Taken from his album Scientist Rids the World of the Curse of the Evil Vampires.
Augustus Pablo – “King Tubbys Meet Rockers Uptown” (1976)
Melodica player Pablo & producer extraordinaire Tubby together on this classic dub album from 1976. This is the brilliant title track…featuring the vocals of Jacob Miller.
Mad Professor & Lee Perry – “Dub Voodoo” (1996)
Two geniuses of dub…taken from the album Dub Take the Voodoo Out of Reggae…
The Upsetters – “Super Ape” (1976)
The brilliant, mad genius Lee “Scratch” Perry produced this dub classic in 1976 at his Black Ark Studios.
