Ok. I admit it. I'm not very well versed in dub music. I basically find this shameful because a lot of my own music is very dub influenced, in terms of production techniques.So hit me with some classics to check out. I'm looking for some bowel-moving bass and thundering drums.

    I'm not much into reggae or dub music because it sounds so similar to me but this album kills it!

    This LP is very definitive... as far as single tracks go, def in my top is "King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown", the Augustus Pablo version side of Jacob Miller's "Baby I love you"...

    tribesman assault
    roots of dub - prince douglass / wackies

    scientific dub
    my computer is acting strange - mad prof

  • fhillysubtle1fhillysubtle1 355 Posts
    i dunno man, i revisited spectre second coming, recently, and that shit is garbage, i don't know how i ever liked it, try this though

    how could i forget
    Prince Far I - Cry Tuff Dub Chapter 4 (daddy kool or re-ish)
    with Slits singing backup & outer space metal noize,
    messes me up everytime

    perhaps no one wants to mention the obvious stuff,
    but almost any of the Blood & Fire catalog would be a good start.
    Simply Vinyl just repressed quite a few of the better titles.

    King Tubby and Friends - Dub Gone Crazy, Dub Like Dirt
    Horace Andy - In The Light Dub
    Keith Hudson - Pick A Dub
    Scientist - Dub In The Roots Tradition
    Congos - Heart of the Congos (not really dub, but close enough for our purposes)

    DJ Spooky vs Twighlight Dub Circus:Riddim Clash is a good newer album.





    Dillinger: Dub Encounter



    Prince Far I : Cry Tuff Dub Encounter I, II, III,IV



    Also Prince Far I -Cry Freedom Dub









    There are many, many good dub albums out there. This thread makes me want to take Sunday Morning Bong loads.

    The fact that I was listening to "Bellhead" by Liquid Liquid while looking at this avatar caused me to become completely and unshakably entranced for almost 4 minutes...scary...

    I think I just heard KL choke on his red stripe and oxtail.

    And no offense meant to anyone, but recommending DJ Spooky to someone looking to explore the best in Dub music is like recommending Tom Jones records to someone who wants to learn more about soul music.

    hold up,

    you must check out this website. perfect place for beginners!!!!

    ebreggae.com

    they have everything you need (except the og's!!) search dancehall by rhythm, buy dub by the pound.

    obviously if you are new you should start snatching up mid 70's kingtubby & lee perry records without hesitation. blackboard jungle dub and king tubby meets the rockers uptown should give you a foot in the door. then you have the dub gone crazy comps for tubby, shit is retarded. get with some augustus pablo records (especially his 1st!!) get the congo's lp for an example of how vocal groups get served at the black ark. order some hydro, you got yourself a summer plan.

    Plenty of recommendations to be had just by watching that.

    Don't listen to too much heavy 80s shit, it'll send ya.

    I like the oldies

    Heptones. You should be able to pick this up quite easily


    This one not so. The original, and dope, but not really that dubby.


    Same with this but it does it for me.


    This is pretty much what you need


    Apparently not an orthodox choice, maybe it's to happy or funky, but I like it.


    And if Spooky gets a nod, then this can too. Play it in da club.

    Yo I just wanted to thank everyone for their help. I was away most of the weekend, but I'm going to be checking into a lot of the stuff recommended. It's this kind of knowledge sharing that I think makes this board so great.

    Thanks again.
