Jah Thommas Meets The Roots Radics - Dubbing (1999)


A little more dub for the people. I guess you can tell that I just got into my dub collection. This one is supa-dupa. You have Jah Thomas, an amazing engineer of reggaee sounds. Then you have the Roots Radics (the backing band for Isreal Vibration), who is arguably the best backing band in all of reggae. At least they were at the time of this release.

I really like the work with the horns on this. It is pretty predominant. There are some dancehall beats on this one too. I only like some of the dancehall dubs on this. They are all pretty stripped down. This is one I kinda forgot about until my cousin just came to visit me. He and his baby (with brand new eyes) just came down to visit with his wife. It was quite grand. It reminded me of the days when we would work the icecream shop. It was quite silly, the times we had. There were a lot of shenanigans that went down in the back, and the front, of that store. This was part of the soundtrack for those shenanigans. It also reminds me of Manu. I miss him. He is in Bolivia right now, lending his sweet helping hand. What a good guy. Alright, some of the tracks on this are a little weak, but the ones that are great are muy bueno. I like the the opeing vocals....murder...just now.....earlier....and Communist Dub is one that is enjoy tons. It's another one with vocals. Not that the instumental ones aren't great as well.

So, get it here
