Thx for sharing. Sly and Robby have there fingers into a lot of Reggae productions. Great artists and great music! I'm a big fan of Dub Reggae.

Yes! That was nuts.

I never looked out for his stuff specifically, and it's about time. The man's output is incredible. A nice interview

Yes they have indeed. I'm addicted mostly to all the "Revolutionaries" productions. The 1st and last word on Dub, as far as I'm concerned.

That's right. Spring Reverb; tape delay; big clean amps; Hammonds and horns; defined, sparkling notes; simplistic approach; groove; uplifting... I didn't post it in a Surf guitar forum for no reason!

Glad you enjoyed. Great week everyone!

well you can't go wrong with Sly and Robbie /Revolutionaries material but to say they are the first and last word ...well I would not . That would be akin to saying that Dick Dale invented surf music and is the one and only king ...kinda but not really ,it's way more complicated than that .
I DO agree that surf and dub have similar aspects that would be appealing to fans of either genre ..great head space music

You're right, of course. I was being passionately ignorant!

Reggae was a new genre in the early 1970s and Sly and Robbie were most certainly an essential part of it's development. The first Reggae records I was able to get my hands on in the UK '76-'77 were Toots and the Maytals - Reggae Got Soul, Burning Spear - Garvey's Ghost, Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves, Bob Marley live at the lyceum and Peter Tosh - Legalize it. Then I moved into South East London just when Culture - Two Sevens Clash hit the charts and we found a stunningly good Jamaican import shop (well, it was a van in a Jamaican market place) so we soon got turned onto the Revolutionaries and Dub. Great times!

can't blame you because it is one of the most interesting genres of music I've heard ...everything from DJs 'toasting' live over instro versions of the latest hits to recording those raps and making a 'new' record to actual deconstruction/remix into something completely different than the source material with maybe only a hint of the original vocal mixed in briefly ...crazy groundbreaking stuff ,stripping away all the layers down to the essential groove then building it back up . thank goodness much of the classics have been reissued on CD as our beloved surf is ...not so hard anymore to find the rarest items
