Disco Devil

Dude was the first punk rocker as far I'm concerned.

He's also crazier than a shit house rat, but most of the good ones are.

Mikey Dread

Our good friend Mikey Dread might not be with us anymore, but his music will obviously live on.

This one has a few of my favorites on here like "Walk Rastafari Way" , "The Voice of Jah" , and "Barber Saloon".

Produced by Mikey himself with Sly & Robbie on drums and bass, Horsemouth on drums, and Augustus Pablo on keys.

Craziness.

Mikey Dread "Evolutionary Rockers"

Augustus Pablo "Original Rockers"

Someone asked me to post my favorite dub album. Granted I can't say that I listen to copious amounts of dub. I prefer dub versions that still use the vocals versus just straight instrumental only dub. It makes the song have that haunting vibe when they delay the vocal parts of the tune.

Also if you listen to a lot of dub you'll notice that sometimes you can hear a really low level track of vocals in the background. Now if you're hitting the chalice too much you might just think you're hearing things, but I think it is actually due to the fact that most Jamaican studios had only 4 tracks to mix with so if you were trying to use just the bass or drums track you could still hear the singer in the background because they were limited on the number of tracks.

Yeah, I'm that much of f*cking reggae nerd. Sad.

Now this pick may seem like a cop out because it's a no brainer for a dub album, but I think it's because it is simply just so good.

Enjoy.
