Dub Wise
Every once in awhile I get back into Dub. (What is Dub?)
I can recall going to Black-O-Rama, which was the free Reggae concerts we used to have here in Winnipeg. They would be once a year and run all day or maybe two, I can't recall. Anyway, I always seemed to enjoy the music they cranked on the PA, while they changed bands It was spacey, kinda weird and was pretty much the groove of the song without all that singing. I loved it. Then when The Clash went Reggae on Sandinista , they featured a couple dub versions of some of the songs, and again I loved it. Finally back when Mary Scorer books used to rent CD's, I rented (and taped) "Towering Dub Inferno: The ROIR Tapes" (Various Artists) which turned out to be one of the best intro's I could have found. I was hooked. Eventually Dub would play a big part in the Ambient movement and specifically The Orb who's music I love.
